The Emmy nominations were announced early this morning (we don't get out of bed for less than a bald, naked guy holding a sword...that didn't come out right, did it?), and, as expected, Desperate Housewives, the just-entertaining-and-different-enough-to-be-wildly-overrated Sunday night dramedy, cleaned up with 15 nominations. Canny ABC made sure to submit it as a comedy, ensuring that it wouldn't stomp all over their Lost (12 noms) in the drama category. But here come the catfights: Only Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, and Golden Globe winning, Vanity Fair photo-shoot lightning rod Teri Hatcher were nominated. As we type, snubbed fringe Housewives Eva Longoria and Nicolette Sheridan are being fitted for smaller trailers and furiously exercising their hair-pulling muscles, primed for a weave-yanking throw-down the first time Hatcher raids the wardrobe before her less celebrated co-stars.

Other tidbits from the nominations: Will & Grace tied Housewives with 15 nominations; in celebration, NBC will finally buy the show the second volume of The Big Book Of Mildly Amusing Gay Innuendo and pony up the budget to stunt-cast the ghost of Liberace...HBO led all networks with 93 nominations, towering over CBS's second-place 59, but the playing field is clearly unfair, since HBO actually seem to try and produce quality content...Despite being almost universally unwatched, NBC followed with 54 noms. Take that, other networks with flashy, new hit shows!

The full list of nominees can be found hidden behind a highly annoying series of pull-down menus on the Emmy website.
