So the 2013 Emmy Awards Nominations were announced this morning. A few of my favorites were nominated. There were some head scratchers here too. I predicted Michelle Fairley would be nominated for her gangster performance in Game of Thrones…she was not. Shows how much I know. Looks like every gay black man’s favorite actor Kerri Washington was nominated for Scandal. That popping noise you hear is the sound of gay-finger snapping of approval. Is she only brown face on the entire list? She won’t win, but its still a good look for her.

For you fellow TV Junkies out there, what are your predictions? Did your favorite show/actor get snubbed? Let’s vent.
