Notably HBO's two new dramas, Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones, were both nominated for Best Drama against Mad Men, Dexter, Friday Night Lights and The Good Wife.

Emmy Nominations Announced; Basic Cable Shines
The Emmy nominations have been announced, and Variety reports it may be the Year of Basic Cable! AMC's Mad Men and FX's Damages (both NY-based) were amongst the basic cable shows to get nods, and they go down in Emmy history as "the first basic cable series to get best-series bids." Other New York shows that got a slew of nominations include 30 Rock and Ugly Betty; Tina Fey was nominated for her role as Liz Lemon and also for her SNL hosting gig earlier this year, and Mariska Hargitay is up for best actress in a drama for Law & Order: SVU. Meanwhile, Broadway star Audra McDonald was nominated for her on-screen performance in Raisin in the Sun. See the full list of nominations here. The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards take place on September 21st.
