A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

[INSERT BATTLESTAR GALACTICA RAGE HERE]: The big news out of the Emmy nominations is that Damages and Mad Men are the first basic cable shows to get best drama nominations, but a few other tidbits:

• HSM2 gets a choreography nomination (ETA per Kimsmopolitan) and a "children's program" nod, but no love in the acting categories--"Emmy nominee Zac Efron" will have to wait for another day.
• Chuck's snappy "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" title sequence gets a nominations.
• Best original song has a fight--for the first in years, nothing from The Simpsons, but "Most Beautiful Girl In The Room" and "Inner City Pressure" from Flight of the Conchords spar with "I'm F****ng Matt Damon!" for the prize.
• 6 drama lead actor nominations, with 4 going to cable shows, including surprises Gabriel Bryne and Bryan Cranston.
• Comedy Supporting Actor is a mix of getting it seriously right (NPH! Schrute! Johnny Drama!) with the obligatory (Piven, Cryer).
• Between John Adams and Recount, HBO dominates the miniseries/movie awards, especially on the male side.
• Amy Poehler nominated as supporting actress/comedy for her SNL work.
• Of the 5 guest actor/comedy slots, 4 go to 30 Rock, and that's without Greenzo!
• It could finally be Colbert's year in the "variety/music/comedy performer category"--no aging singer is nominated, though Don Rickles is, and no Leno (who's generally snubbed throughout). (Also, Stewart is not nominated for Daily Show, but only for the Oscars.)
• I think a certain eyebrow must be raised by the absence of Phil Keoghan from the "reality host" category, when they manage to find space for Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel.
• Joining Damages and Mad Men in best drama--Boston Legal, Dexter, House, and Lost.
• Best comedy snubs Pushing Daisies, opting for Curb, Entourage, The Office, 30 Rock, and 2.5 Men.
• Interestingly, the sole Office nod for writing goes to the ultra-squeamish "Dinner Party."
• The Wire finale gets a writing nod and that's it for the show. Also, Battlestar Galactica gets its sole substantive nomination in the same category.
• Boston Legal and Damages have three acting nominations each in the regular categories, Grey's has two (Wilson and Oh) as does Mad Men (Hamm and Slattery). Lost? Only Michael Emerson.

I'm sure there's more to be outraged about. Discuss.
