what does the year mean? When the show first aired or is it for the series/ep that is up for the prize?

and why do I care... its just marketing and womans mag features

That was a wall of text from IMDB so the year is the first series start date : D

I'm much more interested in the Oscars but still take an interest in the major Emmy awards.

cool, ta

No love for Community? Danny Pudi deserved a supporting actor nod at the least...

I vaguely recall something about the teams decision on submitting, but fucked if I can remember.

Awesome to see Peter Dinklage pick up for GoT, well deserved, but I'm most excited to see Margo Martindale win supporting actress in a drama for Justified, totally deserved for a stunning performance, she's criminally underrated (as is the show itself), and she really acted the fuck out of it.

Looking forward to watching it!

Holy shit some of the dresses are amazing...usually its a zzzzzzzz fest......

I'm keen to see this HBO Mildred Pierce remake.. got a bunch of awards yesterday!
