2010 Primetime Emmy Nominations

Mike Vicic - July 8, 2010

EmmyNominations_400x400

Early this morning, The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced nominations for the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards. The biggest surprise? Sofia Vergara's laughable performance as she struggled to pronounce the names of various nominees. Other surprises? No noms for the unappreciated SONS OF ANARCHY, a Best Comedy nod for the worst season of THE OFFICE, and well-deserved acting noms for Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.
