Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List

Do you think they overlooked any particular star or show? I’m torn between cheering for Laura Linney – The Big C is a phenomenal show and she’s incredible in it – and Edie Falco in Nurse Jackie, for the same reasons! We’re huge Modern Family and Big Bang Theory fans, as well, so crossing my fingers for them. I’m happy to see Jon Cryer get a nod, but I think Angus T. Jones does such a great job on that show, too. I’m sure it’s a difficult job to choose the nominees – I’d never be able to whittle it down to just 5 or 6!
