For the record, Psych is absolutely Emmy-worthy, and so is, specifically, Dule Hill. Rest of this list, though--Ha!

I'm just gonna throw this out there, and I know it's pathetic to even admit that I watched the show, but I was actually pleasantly surprised by Ashley Tisdale's acting on Hellcats. She was the best thing about that show. I actually kind of loved her. But no, she should not be nominated for an Emmy.

You know, for such an extensive article you missed Charice Pepengco's submission for Glee. That was the funniest moment while reading the Emmy ballot for me. (Besides the WTF "Since when are Gossip Girl and Hellcats drama?" moment, of course)

This "article" is the very reason I stopped visiting Television Without Pity. I love your snark, but this is just entirely too mean spirited. Your writers, especially this girl, and this article, are just so extremely and unnecessarily mean. This is written in such a way that it doesn't make me laugh, it makes me feel bad for these people. Go check out TVLine.com, ListsAndGrades.com and EW.com and please learn how it's done.

And not to be a Parenthood apologist, but Savannah Paige Rae is great on that show, as is everyone. She's probably one of the best child actors on television.

Hellcats is way over the top, but Ashley Tisdale is actually quite good. Not going to win, but not worth mocking.

Psych is an insanely funny, well written and acted show. If they're passing out Emmys for being entertaining, the people on this show certainly deserve one.

Kurt is overrated. Chris Colfer defines overacting.

Wow, so Chris I-Have-One-Expression-Twisting-My-Mouth-Like-I-am-In-Pain Colfer is Emmy-worthy while Psych is just a silly show?

Re:Glee overall: Some of us love our soap boxes where they belong - in the garbage.

Dude, calm down. Mindy said Chris Colfer's [i]going[/i] to win, not that he [i]deserves[/i] to.

I absolutely love Psych, but I couldn't name 10 recurring characters if you paid me. The flood of submissions really does smack of stuffing the ballot box. And I'll watch any USA show I can find, but unless you're HBO, network shows are still considered "better" than cable.
Do I want Psych to win? Yes.
Do they have a chance? No.

To clarify: I didn't think he was bad exactly, but to be apparently so much better than the others I assume he must have stepped up or they stepped it down a lot.

The thing about Drop Dead Diva and Brooke Elliot is that she does have two different roles on it as pre-death Jane and post-death Jane/Deb. She transforms mostly through her acting, with just a touch of wardrobe. Her submission, while a long shot, is not that outrageous.

Also, strong emotions, like here, get the page views.

The difference between Rutina Wesley and Ryan Kwanten and all those others is, that Rutina and Ryan are actually on a good show and very talented actors.

Though why ANYONE would watch V and nominate Elisabeth Mitchell and not Morena Baccarin is beyond me. Morena was the only outstanding actress and only memorable thing about that dull, bland show. Elisabeth was, for her own standards and for TV standards in general, very mediocre.

Wow, what a mean-spirited, snobby article. It's the equivalent of a bunch of hipsters laughing at the "uncool" people who think they're "good enough" to hang out at the club they frequent. Honestly, just because they're probably not going to get nominated doesn't mean that they don't deserve it or that they shouldn't try.

For the record, Brooke Elliot is amazing in "Drop Dead Diva" and while her nomination might be a long-shot, it certainly isn't laughable. "Psych" and "White Collar" had great seasons last season. You may not have the ability to see beyond Ryan Kwanten's abs, but he's actually a good actor who brings layers to Jason Stackhouse that aren't in the books.

Agreed on most except for the ones from True Blood. Maybe it's just the Trubie in me, but Rutina and Ryan are good - some of their lines do sound like they were lifted from a bad suspense thriller, but they aren't bad actors, or as bad as the entire Hellcats cast.

And Charice's submission - LOL. Her "acting" skills might fly in the Philippines and garner her a buttload of awards, though, just because she's on Glee. Apparently, singing with weird hand movements can be considered acting.

Honestly if the Emmys would just copy the Critic's Choice nominees I would be the happiest person alive.

Wow! You must be one of those people who HATE the world with quite a chip on your shoulder... What's the matter? Mommy didn't love you enough so you take it out on hardworking actors who you think "aren't good enough"? Seriously twisted. This article (or whatever your calling it) is in very Bad Taste and I don't care if you were dropped on your head as a baby or your a wanna be actress who never made it so you decided to write mean and nasty things but you need to write a retraction. It's just the right thing to do.

Nathan -

Maybe not actors and producers, but this site sure seems to have no problem with that incentive.

Mindy Monez an actress? Have you seen a picture of her? Wow.. she has behind the scenes cheap shot artist written all over her. There is no snark there is only fan-wanking over the next big GSB actor.

Agreed. Tisdale is a PRO.

Lately, whenever there are "articles" like this, I'm left with the feeling that the "reviewers" writing them haven't actually seen even a minute of most of the shows on the lists but are simply licking a finger, sticking it in the wind, and seeing how the wind blows.

Neither useful nor amusing.

Why so much hate for Psych? 10 acting nominations may be on the heavy side, but it's an awesome show and well worth watching. I could definitely see Dule Hill getting a nomination. That's not even in the same category as the people from Hellcats being submitted.

And for the other USA shows, they might as well submit. Piper Perabo got nominated for a freaking Golden Globe for Covert Affairs! She's easily the least interesting thing about the worst (IMO) USA show, but she still got the nomination.

"Lately, whenever there are "articles" like this, I'm left with the feeling that the "reviewers" writing them haven't actually seen even a minute of most of the shows on the lists but are simply licking a finger, sticking it in the wind, and seeing how the wind blows"

I agree Brad. A lot of times it does seem like the main editors will make these comments about shows that sound like they maybe saw 5 minutes and just jumped on the first thing they could make fun of.

I've never been a fan of people falling back on the "it's the name of the website" argument for really nasty comments, but was this article really that nasty? For goodness' sake she's making fun of Emmy submissions by people who make a good living doing something a million other people would kill to do. I'm sure they can handle the criticism. I doubt anyone at "Psych" or "Drop Dead Diva" is going to be crying into their coffee over this.

Word, Jamie--Xanax, anyone? CHILLAX, people--"White Collar" & "Royal Pains" are my guilty pleasures, but am not seeing THAT MANY noms--do they even have that many characters?

FINALLY-a comment worth posting in reply to this article....walk the walk with the community love!!!!

ps some of you may want to look up "without pity" in the dictionary :-) !!!

anyone have the official list? PLEASE!!!!

Really? This site is no different in tone than it ever was. The difference? They're picking on your favorite now. (I knew the True Blood comments would inspire a bunch of pearl-clutching replies). When people talk about how this site has gone down hill, I wonder where which orifice they have their heads inserted in. This site has always had mean-spirited, nasty treatment of people. Alli/Linda was the worst, but she's (thankfully) gone. One thing you can be thankful of is that now you can actually have a negative reaction w/o some bitchy, over-sensitive mod banning you. The only real changes to this site are navigation (horrible) and the fact that there is SOME forum for you to actually say, "Hey, this is shit." (Which is awesome).

Brooke Elliot is a great actress. Come on.

And I agree with everyone who said this article is mean spirited. If you name a category "You're Still on That Show? Who Knew?", that's not snarky, that's disrespectful.

Man, this website is just like those great TV shows who went on for too long: it has gone off the rails.

I only scanned the comments, so stop me if this has been said....I find myself wishing for the days in the 90s when Friends and Frasier won every dang thing. I still resent certain shows winning ALL the time, but some of these nominees make me realize why there is a lot of quality programming on cable.

I don't care if they pick on "my favorite" (for the record, I don't give a rip about True Blood), I care that the "picking" isn't fun anymore. Like someone above said, the critique used to be someone who somewhat liked the show but would still nitpick it when it did something boneheaded. And yeah, I also agree that the writers either hate what they're watching or give a review on something they'd never seen before, don't know what's going on and have no interest in finding out. Is it so hard to find writers who seem to LIKE tv?

Army Wives may not be an Emmy worthy show. That's true. But I have to say Catherine Bell and Terry Serpico did an amazing job this season.

Mindy, is that you? But seriously, the site HAS changed. When Sars, Wing Chung, and Glark were in charge, there was an air of "I tease because I love." I was obsessed with 24 in college, but TWoP snarked the shit out of it and it was still hilarious and I loved it. But now (not the forums or the recaps, but these front page "articles" by Mindy, Sofia, etc.) I get the feeling that it's gone beyond cynicism and into mean-spirited "I hate TV, I hate everything on it" territory and it's really, really unappealing.

I'm obviously from a much more horrifically mean, cruel world than some others here, as I only found this article a bit snarky towards a show's emmy chances.

....And certainly not "I hate everything and everyone who ever existed or will exist, all the shows mentioned here are the worst things in the world ever invented and I damn them all and who starred in them to hell mwa ha ha haaaa *twirls evil moustache *." etc. etc.

Saying that, I like Psych and Rizzoli & Isles, and think they're underrated shows, but seriously, 8-10 acting nominations?

(btw, to any actors reading this who are now traumatised by my harshly cruel words, I apologise).

I think Natalie Zea does an excellent job on Justified. Sure, she's a long shot, but why not submit? She had material this year and did a good job with it.

I would just like to know how long Mindy Monez or any of the other strongly opinionated people on this message board have been acting? Or studied the art of acting? Because unless you are a trained performer, I don't see where you have the credentials to be critizing other people's acting skills. Guess what? They are on nationally televised shows watched by millions of people each week. You are sitting at your computer writing nasty comments about them. Think about it.
