If they nicknamed it The Lauren Graham System, shouldn't she have been nominated?

This is just a travesty.

Hey, all you pretentious critics and fellow internet nerds/bloggers:

Know this: NEVER. BASH. THE. GOLDEN. GLOBES. AGAIN!

NEVER.

Poor Lauren. Not only is she THE BEST actress on television - comedy or drama, but mostly comedy - now she gets shut out from a system that was designed specifically to help people like her out. It's the whole reason this new Emmy voting system was jokingly referred to in the industry as The Lauren Graham System.

The Housewives snub was coming. But they didn't nominate any of the 4 leading ladies, and opted instead of giving a supporting actress nod to Alfre Woodard - who had a storyline that dull, not funny and completely forgotten.

And you nominated House but not Hugh Laurie. I don't even get that?

I guess those Housewives won't be toasting Mary Louise Parker this year.

Sorry to the Vernoica Mars and Lost fans, too. :-(

And Big Love's Chloe Sevigny.

Anywho...
