We saw the real Emmy nominations this morning, which included nods for many wonderful people but also notable absences from plenty of very deserving folks as well. So we decided to make up our own list of nominations. And hell, we added a few categories as well, since we gave ourselves all this power. Might as well! Consider these the real, official nominations unless we tell you otherwise, OK?
