When do the red carpet shows start?

*Her excellent costars Oliver Pratt, Gabby Sidibe, Cynthia Nixon, and John Benjamin Hickey also deftly walk the comedy/heavy drama. JBH's nomination went to one of the frigging Modern Family guys. Frigging MH overkill.

I think Phyllis Somerville also deserves mention for her sublime turn as Marlene in Season 1. She rarely gets much attention, but has done a lot of work. She was equally great in the Kate Winslet vehicle Little Children.

I think JBH was definitely deserving of a nomination. I saw him on Broadway in The Normal Heart and he was spectacular.

I hope Maggie Smith's category is up early. Gotta switch over to Inspector Lewis at 9, but I really would like to see her win. If she wins. Fingers crossed!

Somerville is a brilliant! Did you catch her as the artist's wife in Season 1 of "Sex and the City"?

I still believe that's the greatest line ever uttered on Sex and the City

for Julianna Margulies!!! Great work this past year. Wish Archie Panjabi had joined her, but I think that might have been too much to ask for.

And I thought Jane Lynch was phenomenal. Hope she wins an Emmy next year for hosting this year's Emmys.

Which line? (is somewhat abashed at having watched some of Sex in the City)
