Emmy nominations are announced at the crack of dawn, designed to catch celebs at their most tired and vulnerable.
Amid all the joyful congratulations and ‘I’m so grateful’ messages -- among them Martha Plimpton of ‘Raising Hope’ (@marthaplimpton) and ‘Glee’ star Jane Lynch (@janemarielynch) -- were a few tweets from and about those snubbed. Kyra Sedgwick (@KyraSedgwick), who won best actress for ‘The Closer’ last year but wasn’t nominated this time, gracefully gave a nod to her costar Mary McDonnell, who is up for an award. Nominated ‘Modern Family’ producer Steven Levitan (@SteveLevitan) sent condolences to not-nominated ‘Community’ creator Dan Harmon (@DanHarmon).
But the award for Emmy nomination tweets should go to prolific tweeter Kurt Sutter (@sutterink), creator of ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ who joked that he, ‘Walking Dead’ creator Frank Darabont and ‘Treme’ creator David Simon -- all left off the best drama list this year -- would wreak vengeance.
