From a cursory look at this morning’s Emmy nominations, I can reveal thus:

• Creature Comforts America got nominated. Hooray!
• 30 Rock dominated the comedy guest star categories, with nominations for Rip Torn, Will Arnett,Steve Buscemi, Tim Conway, Carrie Fisher, Edie Falco and Elaine Stritch.
• I will murder everyone if anything but 30 Rock or The Office wins Best Comedy. The other nominees are Curb Your Enthusiasm (meh — even though I know lots of people love this show), Entourage (ugh) and Two and a Half Men (gross).
• Drama series nominees are Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, House, Lost and Mad Men.
• Despite herself, Kathy Griffin got nominated again.
• Rainn Wilson and Neil Patrick Harris are nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy. Again, I will murder everyone if Jeremy Piven wins again.
• Amy Poehler got nominated for best supporting actress in a comedy for SNL (has this ever happened before?). Jenna Fisher was denied.
