PBS once again leads the News and Documentary Emmy nominations announced today with 37 noms, followed by CBS with 31 noms, including 16 for venerable newsmagazine 60 Minutes, the most nominated program by a mile; HBO (20); National Geographic (19); NBC (17); ABC (9) and CNN and History (6), including 2 for History’s WWII in HD series. Among evening newsmagazines, the lower-rated CBS Evening News With Katie Couric led with 8 nominations, followed by NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams with six and ABC’s World News with Charles Gibson with 1.
Among the CBS News nominees was former 48 Hours Mystery producer Robert “Joe” Halderman, who is serving a six-month jail sentence for trying to extort CBS late-night host David Letterman. (Ironically, Letterman himself was snubbed at the Primetime Emmy Award nominations earlier this month.) Halderman was part of the producing team of a nominated 48 Hours Mystery segment about Amanda Knox, the American exchange student convicted of killing her roommate in Italy. The winners will be announced on Sept. 27th at a ceremony at the Lincoln Center where Frederick Wiseman will receive this year’s lifetime achievement award.

Is it just me or is 60 MINUTES getting better and better every year?
Halderman up for an EMMY! HA! It’s funny cause it’s true!
I refuse to watch late night television until everyone on Earth apologizes to Conan O’Brien. I will continue to write nasty comments about Jay Leno and NBC every time any story even remotely related appears on a blog or news site somewhere. I have found my calling in life.
conan needs to apologize to anyone who ever watched the tonight show. whiny little rich boy.
I completely agree with Anonymous, here. I feel exactly the same way, and plan to boycott NBC and especially Leno whenever and wherever I find them. I hope Conan wins the Emmy, although I think it’s unlikely with our Comedy Central tag-team killing every single night. It’s just great to see our man nominated after the $#!++Y thing they did to him over at the network. I hope Zucker ends up on welfare.
lol cbs news leading the noms? didn’t they just report this weekend that the netherlands won the world cup?
“Ironically, Letterman himself was snubbed at the Primetime Emmy Award nominations earlier this month.”
You’re joking, right? He didn’t recieve a nomination, and you consider that a snub? He hasn’t been funny in years.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!
Just read an interesting article on recreating sounds for WWII in HD by the director Fredrick Lumiere on the History Channel website:
http://www.thehistorychannelclub.com/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/102/wwii-in-hd-through-their-eyes
The section titled Sight and Sound in HD is fascinating:
“We do have all of the weapons and machinery categorized by model, etc.,” Lumiere explained, “and often we stick to the authentic sound. But we also take creative liberties for maximum impact. Ask any large Hollywood-budget film sound designers; you’ll learn they use anything and everything to generate the emotional impact desired. Breaking glass, sucking sound from fire, etc. That’s how you win Emmys!”
NBC getting fewer nominations than National Geographic? NBC Nightly News getting fewer nominations than CBS Evening News? That sounds about right.
