With Breaking Bad not in contention this year because of the huge gap between seasons, the best drama and acting categories are wide open. I'm absolutely delighted for Timothy Olyphant who is brilliant every week in Justified and equally so for his co-star, Walton Goggins who picked up a nod too. The biggest smile on my face came courtesy of a nomination for the genius that is Louis C.K. who picked up an acting nomination for Louie. Those two shows are currently the best things hogging your tellybox. Behold a list of all the main nominees.
