Some of our Favorites Snag First-Time Emmy Noms!
By Alexis Swerdloff
Just perusing through the list of this year's Emmy nominations, and were very pleased to see many PAPER faves nominated for the first time! In the best supporting actress in a comedy series category, the often-mom-jeans-clad Kristen Wiig was nominated for her hilarity on SNL, as was the wonderful Jane Krakowski, who plays the dimwitted yet lovable Jenna Maroney on 30 Rock. Her co-30-Rockers Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan also received nods for the first time in the best supporting actor in a comedy series category. Elisabeth Moss got nommed for the first time in the best actress in a drama series for her role as the secretary-turned-copywriter Peggy Olson on Mad Men. For a full list of nominees click here.

Yet the Emmy's ignored Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette from True Blood) and entirely overlooked Sons of Anarchy, not even a tech award. This was the Office' worst season and yet Steve Carrell was nom'ed again? I'm happy for Kristin Wiig, she is so offbeat and she takes chances, in today's comedy world that is rare.
