Actually Ashley Judd was really good on "Missing". She would have been a very worthy nominee in DRAMA category. Such a shameful category fraud.

After finish the first season of Up All Night, I have to say that Applegate would have been a worthy nominee, and ''Birth'' would make her a winner.

I love the cast as a whole, but none of them deserve an individual nomination except perhaps Michelle Dockery simply because they weren't given anything good to do in Series 2. Julian Fellowes rushed the scripts and turned what was an interesting study of class differences in Series 1 into a melodramatic soap with really bad and obvious plot devices.

She has a great tape with obvious laughs, and she player a similar character to what won Parsons multiple Emmys. Once nominated anybody can win with the right tape, particularly in that category.

You know what I was thinking is that Downton Abbey's nominations really remind me of Six Feet Under's first year of eligibility.

I think they got something like 23 nominations w/ two lead actors, two lead actresses,  supporting actor, supporting actresse, directing and writing and walked away with only directing, some casting, and Patricia Clarkson.  I could be wrong as I am too lazy to look it up but I have a feeling come Emmy time we might be seeing a repeat of that w/ Downton Abbey this year.

Of series that got 2 Writing noms + 2 Directing noms before they’d finished airing:

For episodes nominated in the 21st century (2001+) there are only 4 in each genre: Sex and the City/Office/30 Rock/Modern Family and West Wing/Sopranos/Lost/Mad Men. The other cable series to qualify is Larry Sanders. 

Realistic possibilities next season are some combination of Downton Abbey, Louie, Girls, Game of Thrones, and Homeland.
Of the other 21st century Series winners: 24, Friends, and Raymond were all on their 5th attempt, while Arrested took Writing/Directing the year it won. The only show ever to not win Series despite 3 noms each in Writing, Directing, and Series is Larry Sanders. 


Other stuff: CBS + Showtime's Writing noms 94+: Raymond 6, Good Wife 1, Homeland 1.
Only Sherlock & Mad Men made Art, Cinematography, Directing, and Writing. Obviously this means they will be the night's big winners. They ought to be at any rate.

This year NBC's Harry's Law is 8th place in major-ish drama noms, and Smash is 8th place in overall noms for a drama.

Battlestar Galactica also got two writing nominations and two directing nominations for episodes from this century.

" Before they’d finished airing," so no. Plus one of its noms was because they decided to have a field of 7 for a few years, but that's not as relevant.
