Gwyneth Paltrow, Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy, 'Glee'

Paltrow's role on "Glee" always just seemed to remind us that we'll never be as tall, blond and skinny as she is ... and her singing isn't all it's cracked up to be, either.

Kathy Griffin, Outstanding Reality Program, 'My Life on the D-List'

It's hard to think of someone Griffin hasn't offended -- but we guess that's what reality TV is all about.
Jon Cryer, Outstanding Supporting Actor, 'Two and a Half Men'

Is this the entertainment industry's way of saying, "Sorry about that whole Charlie Sheen thing"? Plus, he already won in 2009.
Matt LeBlanc, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy, 'Episodes'

Have you ever seen an episode of "Episodes"? Neither have we. Guess this is the closest they could come to nominating "Friends" in 2011.
Julie Bowen, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy, 'Modern Family'

Bowen is cute on 'Modern Family,' but she pales in comparison to her fellow nominee, Sofia Vergara. Odds are, they'll both lose to Jane Lynch.
Jane Krakowski, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy, '30 Rock'

For some reason, Krakowski has annoyed us ever since her "Ally McBeal" days.
Paul Giamatti, Outstanding Supporting Actor, 'Too Big to Fail'

If you watched "Too Big to Fail," you know that most of the Giamatti scenes involved close-ups of him eating breakfast (in character as Ben Bernanke).

The nominees for the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards are in -- and as usual, there were plenty of snubs and surprises.

In particular, Lea Michele of "Glee" -- who will be leaving the show after next season -- got bupkis, but guest star Gwyneth Paltrow scored a nod. Huh?

"Glee" in general did not do as well as expected. Last year, the freshman series scored 19 nominations. This year, it only got 12 -- but it was nominated for the coveted Outstanding Comedy Series award, which it lost last year to "Modern Family."

It all goes down Sunday, Sept. 18 on Fox. In the meantime, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who got the lamest Emmy nomination this year?
