  1. I’m the first Alvin if anyone is confused. I did not make the comment that Glee should not be nominated. I’m the Alvin that said Go Glee and Jane lynch! The other Alvin must either be an imposter or is someone with my name. Anyways, this is really confusing

  2. I can’t believe Glee got nominated as best comedy. It has such stupid storylines. I agree though that Lea Michele and Jane Lynch deserves to be nominated.

  3. I’d love to see Michael Emerson from Lost win best supporting actor, he deserves it for being the most punched, kicked and beaten up character on TV !

    Otherwise it could be Dexters year and another gong for Toni Collette.

  4. Fantastic nominations this year – so glad to see Toni Collette up for Tara – it is an incredible role and she is amazing in it, nice to see someone Other than Tina Fey win, who, while funny, is essentially playing herself – not exactly a stretch. So glad to see Glee up there – my favourite show, so glad to see the incredibly talented Lea Michele honoured. And Big Love and True Blood, two amazing series that are almost always snubbed, in there with the big guns – Yay yay yay!!
