58th annual Emmy Nominations announced

@ Gone Hollywood | Thursday, July 6, 2006

The 56th annual Emmy Award Nominations were announced this morning. And quite a few surprises I might add! Desperate Housewives was snubbed! EVERY one of them. (well, except for the creepy Betty - but not one of the main ladies!) And I can’t say I am just a slight bit giddy with delight. The show sucks. But am very upset by the fail to mention LOST as a contender in the Drama category. (Helloooo..they won last year!) And I might have myself a little cry over the fact that Veronica Mars was outed again, and the only Entourage hottie that made the list was Jeremy Piven. *sigh*

Here are some of the nominations. You can read the full list here.
