It’s A New Record!!

July 17, 2008

That’s right ladies and gentlemen, 30 Rock has set a new record of nominations amongst a Comedy Series! 17 Nominations! The previous record was held by the Larry Sanders Show in 1997 with 16 nods. So let’s all celebrate for that alone!!

Now I have a list of what 30 Rock is nominated for. There is a lot of writing so I didn’t copy entire categories. If you would like to see entire categories, go here, scroll down and download a copy. Now If I find myself to be more awake in the coming hours, I will find a comprehensive list and put it up here. For now, this is what I can give you! (Pardon the font, this is a big copy-paste job)

    Awesome news for the show.
    I can’t believe they got all those nominees in the Guest Actor/Actress in a Comedy Series! Isn’t that illegal?
    Let’s hope they have a great night and win lots and lots of them. They deserve it!
