The Emmy nominations were announced this morning and it was exciting to see so many of our favorites on the list—30 Rock, Mad Men, and even Amy Poehler nominated for her work on Saturday Night Live. But why oh why were the ladies from Mad Man dissed by the Academy? We were soooo hoping to see either January Jones (Betty Draper) or Elisabeth Moss (Peggy) recognized for their talents too, but old standbys like Sandra Oh from Grey’s Anatomy and Mariska Hargitay from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit got the nod instead. Snore! [Emmys.tv]

Seriously Peggy deserved one just for the fat suit she was forced to wear!

January Jones is one of the great “finds” of the TV season. Did anybody notice how PERFECT she would have been to play Sue Storm in the Fantastic Four movies? Heck, I’d cast her as Eleanor Roosevelt. I’d cast her as FRANKLIN Roosevelt.

I think “Peggy” deserved a nomination. She is very much like Ugly Betty, that is true…But her character is so much more involved, and in the first season, she really had many acting challenges. Like the time her “boyfriend” (for lack of a better word) told her his fantasy about hunting…When she left his office, you could SEE that he had turned her on (and she ran to get something to eat, but you could tell when she left his office, she didn’t know what to do at first)—She didn’t have to say a word…That is good acting, and that kind of writing and acting is very rare in this day and age. She really is a brilliant actress.
