“The Wire” Snubbed Again

One nomination, for writing. One wonders what exactly Emmy nominators are looking for. The Wire received just two nominations during its five season run, which is odd considering that it is probably the greatest television show ever done.

I would go on, but my head would probably explode.

Update: I just read the best actor/actress nominees:

Best actor in a drama nominees are Gabriel Byrne (”In Treatment”), Bryan Cranston (”Breaking Bad”), Michael C. Hall (”Dexter”), Jon Hamm (”Mad Men”), Hugh Laurie (”House”) and James Spader (”Boston Legal”)… Glenn Close (”Damages”), Sally Field (”Brothers and Sisters”), Mariska Hargitay (”Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”), Holly Hunter (”Saving Grace”) and Kyra Sedgwick (”The Closer”).

I mean, really? Mariska Hargitay? Kyra Sedgwick? James Fucking Spader?
