2012 Primetime Emmy Nominees Announced!
It was a very early morning for Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday. The late-night host stepped in at the last minute to present the Primetime Emmy nominations at 5:38 AM with "Scandal" actress Kerry Washington. From the looks of it, Jimmy rolled out of bed and headed straight for the ceremony still wearing his “husky baby” pajamas! "They rousted me out of bed. This would be just as good at noon,” he joked. The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host will keep the laughs coming as host of the Primetime Emmys telecast Sept. 23 on ABC.
It looks as if past winners "Mad Men" and "Modern Family" will dominate this year’s award show. AMC's hit drama "Mad Men" earned 17 nominations this morning, while "Modern Family" received 14.

Cable dominates again. Can we just say it? Broadcast Networks are dead. They are a financial disaster and they can't keep up critically. It's a model that just doesn't work anymore... they are in complete denial...

Harry's Law NEEDS YOUR HELP. NBC got rid of Harry's Law, their second most-watched series because Viewers were TOO OLD and their Advertisers don't like that.
