Disney clearly has a lot of work to do to even get nominees in some of these catagories. Has Disney totally given up on the comedy genre? What about Miniseries or Variety shows? Plus what happened to Lost last season? I’d say it’s not just the fans that have noticed the drop off in quality episodes.

Supporting Actress, Comedy Series: … Jaime Pressly, “My Name Is Earl,” ABC
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe “My Name is Earl” airs on NBC, so that’s one less nomination for Disney.
