Nominees for this year's primetime Emmy Awards were announced this morning -- and Tina Fey's hit NBC comedy 30 Rock is the clear favourite with nods in multiple categories including best Comedy Series.

The 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast on September 21, 2008 in Los Angeles. Here is the complete list of nominees.

This year's Emmy nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris.

I wasn't there and didn't take this photo but got it off the internet for personal use only. I believe it is in the public domain but I'm not certain of that.

I posted it because it is an example of hair that I like.

I'm a big Tina Fey fan, i usually do vector art on artists/bands and actors and graphically create an environment that fits them, on this vector in particular i created a laughing chair where she sat on, just to convey how effortlessly funny she is, LOL! and i'm happy to share this here, and hope Tina's gonna win! =D

Jaime Monroy: Producer, at the Emmy Awards

Working in show business since he was sixteen, Comedian/Manger/Producer Jaime Monroy takes a moment backstage at the Emmys. Jaime enjoyed cavorting with some of his fellow comedians who served as rotating hosts the one year that the Awards Ceremony utilized rotating stand-up comedians as hosts in 2003.
