Airing September 23rd, the Primetime Emmy Award nominees were announced today, giving us plenty of time to catch up on our TV time.
Several of last year's favorites, including Mad Men and Modern Family, made the cut again (with curves like Christina Hendricks and Sofia Vergara, how could they not?), while newbie nominations went to Zooey Deschanel for her quirky yet irresistible New Girl role, and the sincere gem that has become a must-watch, Girls.
