Hey, they’re not the TV Squad Awards, but the TCAs are pretty cool too, and the nominees have been announced.

There are a lot of the usual suspects on the list, of course (though that doesn’t mean they’re not worthy - they are), including 30 Rock, The Office, Friday Night Lights, and The Wire. It’s also great to see Mad Men get so many nominations, including Program of the Year, Best Drama, Best New Show, and a Ideal Individual Achievement nom for star Jon Hamm. It’s interesting to see that Mad Men will go up against another AMC show, Breaking Bad, in the Best New Show category.

Lost is well represented, as are John Adams, Flight of the Conchords, and PBS’ The War miniseries. As for The Wire, it’s not only up for drama and acting awards, it has also been nominated for the Heritage Award, along with M*A*S*H, Saturday Night Live, Sesame Street, and Roots. Interesting to see such a current show up for a lifetime award next to classics. The awards will be presented on July 19.

Anything missing from these nominations?
