Piercing Ken Thoughts: So there you have it my friends, the full rundown of nominations for the 71st Annual Emmy Awards. Did any of your own favorites make the list or were they left by the wayside. If the case is the latter I’d love to hear which ones you hoped to be nominated. I’m not sure if you were counting but it looks like “Game Of Thrones” had “10” full nominations. Not too shabby for a final season that left a lot of people pretty upset. Remember that the winners will be announced on live television on September 21st, so program your DVR or plan on staying home with some snacks and a few friends with wine. Anyway, that’s all I have for the moment and I shall see you next time.
