LOS ANGELES (AP) -- "Glee," the spunky TV musical comedy about high school misfits and the teachers who shepherd them, was a top Emmy nominee Thursday with 19 bids, including for best comedy series and stars Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele.

"I'm in such shock," Michele said from New York.

The leading nominee was the gritty, unsparing World War II drama, "The Pacific," with 24 nominations. But the miniseries, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks as a companion to their acclaimed "Band of Brothers," failed to produce the same buzz as its European theater of war predecessor.

There were 24 nominations for the mini-series The Pacific (that Bill Sadler was in) and Moonshot with James Marsters is up for best tv movie...so, yes, I am already a Happy Camper.

I would think that the odds are against Bryan Cranston winning 3 in a row for his role on Breaking Bad, but he's the leading candidate imho.

I have never seen Breaking Bad, so for me, Hugh Laurie from House is my front runner!!!! I just love him in that show!!!!
