HBO Garners 99 Emmy Nominations!

HBO Garnered 99 Emmy Nominations for it's original series, among them were three nominations for True Blood.  In addition, True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard' (Eric) miniseries, "Generation Kill" was nominated for Outstanding Miniseries.  Congratulations to all who got the nod! It is rather frustrating that the Emmy's have continued their tradition of ignoring genre work except in the technical departments.  It's past time to break those barriers and the quality of acting, writing and directing in True Blood makes it clear that those prejudices are still in place.  So while we are very excited for those who's outstanding contributions to True Blood are being recognized (Suzuki, Cat, Rusty, we're lookin at you!) we can only hope that next year is the year that finally brings down the wall.
