Emmy Nominations

These are my rapid impressions. HBO remains dominant. ABC should be disappointed. Instead of production, popularity nominated drama series. The Outstanding Lead Actor (Drama) category is loaded. The Supporting (Drama) categories are stacked. Everyone should vote for Entourage and punish the Sopranos.
