The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, with the help of actors Brad Garrett and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, announced its 58th annual Primetime Emmy nominations this morning live from Los Angeles, California. The new voting system, which has a panel decide the final 5 nominees in the major categories instead of a member-wide vote, was expected to bring a few surprises, but the surprise this year was in who DIDN'T get nominated instead of who did. Not a single Housewife received a nomination, save for Alfre Woodard who got one in the supporting category. The satirical soap was also snubbed in the Best Comedy category.
