The 60th Primetime Emmy Award Nominees that is! And we are thrilled to see some of our favorite shows (and actors and actresses) on the list!
Heidi Klum got her first individual Emmy nomination for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program (Project Runway), while Christina Applegate got a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Samantha Who?, and Steve Carrell snagged a nom for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as the boss on The Office.
Showtime made their debut in the Best Series category with their drama (an X17 favorite!), Dexter, starring Michael C. Hall (who got nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor), and another Showtime favorite of ours, Weeds, got some recognition, with star Mary-Louise Parker earning a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
HBO's miniseries John Adams lead the pack with a whopping total of 23 nominations, including Best Miniseries and Outstanding Lead Actor/Actress for Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney. HBO also took home the most nominations among all the networks, with 85, followed by ABC with 76 and CBS with 51.
