The 63rd Primetime Emmy nominations are here and, unsurprisingly, a lot of gay and gay-adjacent programming and people got the nod.

What follows is an incomplete list (the complete list is like Infinite Jest and you can see it at the bottom of this post, so don’t stress).

Glee: 12 nominations, including Best Comedy, Supporting Comedy Actor (Chris Colfer), Supporting Comedy Actress (Jane Lynch)

Reality Competition: So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef, The Amazing Race, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars and Project Runway, none of which are specifically gay but have tons of gay people on them all the time, so it kinda-sorta counts here.

Sadly Snubbed: Extreme Couponing, Man-Eating Super Snake, Fashion Police, Cupcake Wars, Cops, Oddities, I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant, Sex Robots, Monster Bug Wars, Gigolos and Metalocalypse.

The complete, gigantic list is right here. Watch the video up top, too, for Bridesmaids star/nominee announcer Melissa McCarthy’s reaction to her own Mike and Molly nomination. Sweet vindication for all those years of Gilmore Girls getting nominated for absolutely nothing.
