Louis C.K. racked up seven Emmy nominations this morning between his FX series, Louie, and his comedy special, Live at the Beacon Theatre, which is definitely impressive, but aren’t we used to “definitely impressive” if not “amazing” from C.K.? He shared his thoughts on getting nominated with the NY Times noting, “That’s a lot of nominations. It feels selfish, because I was really rooting for everybody on my show.”
Yet, Louie is not nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series. Modern Family, 30 Rock, Girls, Saturday Night Live, and Parks and Recreation get plenty of love throughout the rest of the Emmy categories and even Portlandia gets nominated for writing. Above all, we know plenty of you will be checking out YouTube clips of dark horse Nurse Jackie on Showtime after reading the rest of the comedy nominations below
