Welcome Back!
Well, it has been a while since I've done a proper post. Shame on me! But alas, I am back and ready to throw some Sherlock confetti in your face!
The 66th Annual Emmy nominations were announced this morning, and honestly, I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Now, I don't usually pay too much attention to the Emmy's because I don't usually watch too many of the shows nominated. I'm more of the movie's award show gal... But, I actually have seen a large majority of the shows nominated this year... Which is pretty impressive for me. 12, that's right count 'em, 12 nominations went to our favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his sidekick, Martin Freeman, is a double nominee (Woot woot!). Lots of British love on that list!
