Glee: 19 Nominations at The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards

Wow!! I'm so happy about this news I am vomiting sunshine!!!! Haha.

But seriously, 19 nominations for a relatively new series is amazing. And after the Golden Globes basically snubbed them, I was NOT expecting this.

Sure, if I'm being realistic, it is going to be a TOUGH win for any of the Glee peeps, especially the big ones - Outstanding Comedy and the acting awards - since there are some big guns nominated in there with them. However, I'm still optimistic about their chances, most especially Jane Lynche. Oh, and I'm pleasantly surprised that Chris Colfer got a nomination.

In addition, Glee Hyperpromo and Superfan was nominated in Achievement in Interactive Media - Fiction - i.e. for something online - but these usually aren't included when counting the show's nominations as technically it's not part of the show.

I was a little surprised it didn't get a choreography nomination - those went to the Academy Awards, two for Dancing with the Stars, and two for So You Think You Can Dance?.

I agree with you, there's not a big chance of winning in the acting performances, there are so many big other nominees. And Chris Colfer, it's so unexpected that he will have a nomination but he's really awesome.

Anyway, it's still a congratulations to all of them.

Indeed. I think Jane Lynche has the biggest chance of getting an Emmy but she was snubbed at the Golden Globes, so I'm not so sure now. Haha
