2008 Emmy Nominations: No judgments!

Well, maybe just a few:

* John Adams, which raked in a leading 23 nominations, deserves all it can get and more.

* Hugh Laurie is again nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama after being snubbed last year, meaning that all is right with the world. Well, it will be when he finally wins the damn thing.

* Where, o where is Katherine Heigl's name on this list? I'm just shocked - shocked! - that she's absent!

* And Kristin Chenoweth is - well, Kristin Chenoweth.
