The Primetime Emmy nominations were announced on July 14 and both broadcast and cable series had something to smile about.  It’s no surprise AMC’s Mad Men earned a Best Drama nomination, plus 18 more for a leading 19 nominations. HBO’s Boardwalk Empire was close behind with 18 nominations, including Outstanding Drama, but will be competing against fellow HBO series Game of Thrones for the big award.

ABC’s Modern Family scored the most comedy nominations, with 17. Fox’s Glee picked up nominations in the Outstanding Comedy, Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor categories.  The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Parks & Recreation and 30 Rock joined Modern Family and Glee as the nominees in the Outstanding Comedy category.

On the drama side, Friday Night Lights earned a much deserved Best Drama nomination. It also took home nominations for Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton in the Lead Actor and Actress categories. The critically acclaimed CBS legal drama The Good Wife didn’t need an injunction to get nominations for Outstanding Drama, Lead Actress, two Supporting Actor nominations and two Supporting Actress nominations. Timothy Olyphant, Walton Goggins and the brilliant Margo Martindale earned nominations for FX’s Justified in the Lead Actor, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress categories, respectively. Peter Dinklage earned Game of Thrones its only acting nomination in the Supporting Actor category, for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister. Showtime’s Dexter joined Boardwalk Empire, Friday Night Lights, Game of Thrones, The Good Wife and Mad Men with a Best Drama nominations. 

What do you think of this year's Emmy nominations? Is there any series or actor who you think was snubbed of a nomination. AMC's The Walking Dead could make a strong argument for being robbed of an Outstanding Drama nomination. See the full list after the jump!

You can bet your last dollar I’ll be setting my DVR to record this new Sunday series. ABC has released the trailer for Once Upon A Time, a fantasy that feels like a cross between Pushing Daisies and a Grimm’s Fairy Tale (not to be confused with NBC’s Grimm). Once Upon A Time stars Big Love’s Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White, Josh Dallas as Prince Charming, Stargate Universe’s Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin, House’s Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan and Lana Parrilla as the Evil Queen.

From the writers of Lost, Once Upon a Time tells the story of a town, Storybrooke, where time is frozen and the people of the Enchanted Forrest are being held hostage by the Evil Queen. If they try to leave, bad things happen.  Watch the trailer for Once Upon a Time after the jump!

Variety is reporting negotiations between Universal Media Studios and Fox for an eighth season of House have raised the question of whether-or-not the popular medical drama will be a part of Fox’s May upfront presentation. Reportedly, 

UMS, owned by NBCUniversal, has given Fox an extension on the window of negotiation exclusivity. That ends Friday. If the two sides can't come to an agreement, UMS will offer the show to competing networks including, of course, the Peacock, which would likely be more than happy to take the series away from Fox.

In other House related news, working Dr. House appears to have paid off for Amber Tamblyn. According to Deadline, House executive producer Katie Jacobs, The Wire co-creator Ed Burns and Tamblyn have received a script commitment for a new project starring Tamblyn as “a young teacher in the world of public education in America.”

Meanwhile, Zap2it is reporting Olivia Wilde will return to House for its 150th episode as Thirteen on April 11. READ MORE
