The 2012 Emmy nominations were announced in Los Angeles this morning, and we've gotta say: We called a lot of these. For instance, Modern Family, Community, Veep, New Girl, Parks & Recreation, Girls, Nurse Jackie, Game of Thrones, Mad Men - need we go on? Anyway, amongst our stellar picks, there are a few other gems in the rough as well, like Breaking Bad (which just returned for its fifth season this past Sunday), Boardwalk Empire, Louie, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Basically, it's been a great year for television, and these nominations definitely reflect it.
