So, the Emmy nominations came out yesterday (just when I was trying to figure out a topic for today. How convenient!). Supernatural was nowhere to be seen.
Aside from editing and music and hairstyles (????) and title design, here’s the categories where it could have gone.
Art direction
Glee
Heroes
Lost
Modern Family
True Blood
The Tudors
I love me some Glee, but art direction? No. And while I don’t like Heroes anymore, it does have some great art direction. Supernatual could have gone here in place of Glee. (I don’t watch Modern Family, but I hope The Tudors wins, because that is one beautiful show.)

Mad Men • AMC • Lionsgate Television
True Blood
I love True Blood but was disappointed in the second season. Still, there’s a lot to be said for buzz. Which would you kick out to give Supernatural a chance?
Any place else you can see to put our favorite show?
