for reference, the last five sets of nominees were announced by
Joshua Jackson (no nom) and Melissa McCarthy (nom, undeserved win) Joel McHale (no nom) and Sofia Vergara (nom) Jim Parsons (nom) and Chandra Wilson (nom) Neil Patrick Harris (nom) and Kristin Chenoweth (nom) Jon Cryer (nom) and Krya Sedgwick (nom)
So, it looks like Kerry Washington will be getting a nomination for a show that has had all of seven episodes.
Hard to say which side of the line Nick Offerman will fall on, but I fear it'll be on the side of Joshua Jackson and Joel McHale.
It's interesting that all the men except Joshua Jackson have been comedic actors. That trend probably benefits Offerman. On the other hand, every guy who has received a nomination has been on CBS, where Parks & Rec is not.
I will be doing my annual nominations prediction the last week of this month, so we'll see how that particular race looks soon enough (spoilers it's crowded)
