Forgot to post this but since I saw it on the Emmy thread.

I voted for him and was surprised he wasn't nominated.

***************************

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama
William Shatner, Boston Legal

He got one vote in the ballots. From... umm... you, I assume.

So, Friday is the absolute deadline for voting. I hope more of you vote, because it would be greatly appreciated.

One last bump before I come back tomorrow morning.

I was planning on releasing a fake nominee list, but you guys rock so much, I will not be going in that direction! No no, instead, I will present to you FINALLY the list of this year’s Excellence in Television nominees. There were two or three ties in total, and in some cases, I just let it go with seven and eight nominees. But, when I got to Guest Star (where 8 nominees was needed), I figured 15 nominees was a little much, so I made the final call on that one. Anyway, here are the FIRST TEN nomination categories with all nominees listed. In an hour, I will release the second part of the nomination list, and then you can vote from then until... well, we'll decide on a deadline.

Here they are!
