Good news for Colfer: A nomination. Bad news: The competition.
The nominations for the 62nd Annual Emmy Awards were announced this morning. Interestingly, almost half the shows nominated for Outstanding Drama or Outstanding Comedy are first-time nominees.
Duking it out in the same category…please keep it classy for Lily's sake.
Gay actors Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer were nominated for their supporting work on Glee, while out actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson and gay-for-pay Eric Stonestreet were tipped for their supporting work as a gay couple on Modern Family. Neil Patrick Harris was again nominated for How I Met Your Mother. Colfer vs. Ferguson vs. Stonestreet vs. Harris? Tough call. (Jon Cryer for Two and a Half Men and Ty Burrell from Modern Family round out the supporting category for the men.)
Lynch was also nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for appearing on Two and a Half Men, but she's up against Betty White for her SNL gig. White's chances seem golden.
Colfer has already thanked fans for their support via Twitter.
Full list of the major categories is after the jump. Who, if anyone, are you rooting for? Who, if anyone, do you think wuz robbed?
