Welcome to the party: My Name Is Earl led all new series with 9

We'll miss you: Arrested Development was the most-nominated show to

Boy, howdy, is THAT a tough call.

Can we just give Caruso a lifetime unacheivement award or something and
retire him to give others a chance?

These two are no-brainers.

Tough choice but I've really grown to appreciate Kiefer since the
first season. He has a talent for making the ridiculous look exciting
and suspenseful.

No, I think he has earned the right to a shelf full of the limburger
rats for worst performer. Perhaps next year, we can expand it to Worst
Performer (Male) and Worst Performer (Female).

If it is not out of order now, I so move.
