EMMY NOMINATIONS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED

So this morning the Primetime Emmy Awards were announced, and while I don't watch Mad Men, that show and my favorite freshmen series American Horror Story nabbed a whopping 17 nominations. Mad Men in my opinion has won enough awards over the years and needs to be taken off the list, but I would have loved to have seen other well-written shows like The Walking Dead, Dexter, True Blood, and Revenge get nominated. I highlighted shows that I would love to see win in green, although Best Drama is hard for me to choose because I love Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire.
