SO happy for all the nominations, but I still feel like there were snubs

As much as I'd like to see many deserving folk win I have to think that Dinklage must win for best supporting actor and they must win for best title design.

I agree with everything but Best Drama series and Writing in a Drama series. I could argue about the Best Supporting Actor but it's useless to try and understand the Emmy people.

I am stoked about this list! (Happy to see another nod to Dexter too, Michael C. Hall and the gang are amazing).

I'd like to have seen Sean Bean on the list. I have been torn over Tyrion since the beginning. Although I feel Dinglage is deserving of an award and did a great job, it's just not the same Tyrion to me. He comes across as a little too pretty and more arrogant. But you can't really compare source material to TV if you want to be fair. So great job and congrats to him and everyone else nominated!

what is a title design category ?

it's when they play the "theme song" and the credits roll in the beginning of the show.

I'd like to see the show scoop the pool and win everything, but really think Baelor deserves whatever it gets. That was outstanding television!

FINALLY a genre series that's actually getting some (gasps!) RECOGNITION!!!

A lot of technical categories that don't get shown on the TV awards thingy, but still very cool. I highly doubt they'll get Drama and Supporting actor but I think the title sequence is a shoe in, probably costumes as well.
