Emmy nominations announced
Glee and Mad Men are the biggest contenders at the 62nd Emmy awards on August 29. Glee, the show about a high school glee club, is nominated for 19 awards, including Best Comedy. Modern Family and
Emmy-darling 30 Rock also cleaned up, with 15 and 14 nominations each, including Best Comedy nods. Mad Men, which is set in a glamorous 1960s Madison Avenue advertising firm lead the pack of dramatic shows with 17 nominations. The series 24 got a surprisingly low five nominations, but it didn’t get snubbed nearly as badly as the recently cancelled Law and Order, which wasn’t nominated for anything.
