YAAAAY! So proud of our show

Brilliant! They are nominated in like every category :D
The waiting will be hard but to be a nominee is already an achievement. Haven't expected less from Sherlock!

That makes the ceremony actually worth watching! But I can't because of the time difference (maybe they repeat it on TV?)

A nomination on his birthday... perfect timing

It's actually 13, if I'm not wrong

About the chances... we'll see, but the competitors are pretty strong

Sorry...didn't see other thread...moderators, can you merge it or something?

I don't know about our chances. I haven't really seen any of the other miniseries. I hope we'll win, though

Well, if I was on the panel of voters, I'd vote for Sherlock cos I haven't seen any of the other noms.

**Posted by Sammy** July 19, 2012 6:29 pm

Oh, yes, 13 right. For some reason the site I looked at didn't list the sound/music ones. (ignorant!)

I don't know either. Damn :D
But I'm already over the moon over the nominations!

They might be. But they're always so busy! Then again, the Emmys are quite a big deal, so they might take some time off for them. I guess at least Moftiss will be there!

Ah wonderful!!! 12 Emmy nominations for Sherlock :D

Oh, I really have to watch the ceremony this year!

I think anything/anyone having to do with Game Change will win. It got a lot of coverage here in the States it's an American Story which I think may play a part in it. Plus, all the actors are beloved here.

For me, as much as I loved Game Change, it certainly didn't wow me to the extent that Sherlock did. I'm hopeful that Sherlock will win in every category where it's nominated, but not holdng my breath.

Here's a link to the PBS page where Masterpiece toots its horn about all the Emmy nominations it received:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/classic/emmys.html?elq=93736b10eef34d2ba35631ec06db697b&elqCampaignId=392

Rebecca Easton, the executive producer of Masterpiece, said: "... And Sherlock rocks with 13 nominations. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss are television geniuses and it's gratifying that the Acadamy [sic] has recognized that."

Do you think they'll go the Emmys? I want a big Sherlock presence there, although I'm a bit pessimistic about a actual win, especially in the actor categories. They're usually very self-concentrated there.

And a big YEAH for fellow German Fabian Wagner !

If you take a close look you'll see who'll be at the Emmys. And on a seat next to the aisle which is ideal for jumping up and going to the stage to grab the award.

You mean the seat next to the aisle in row 4?! That black curly hair dressed in black?! I wonder who'll be his date? Mummy?

Could that be a picture of Martin behind him, couldn't tell!

O.K. I'm answering my question myself
Look at that photo behind BCs seat and then look at the pic below! My good I really have eyes like a hawk!

**Posted by SusiGo** September 21, 2012 10:21 am

Oh yes, that's the one. So they're sitting behind each other, both at the aisle, ready to jump and …

God, I hope they have a reason to jump and.....

But when I look at the predictions on several pages, they are not even mentioned to have a chance , not that's a surprise, it's too cool for the Emmys/US TV industry anyway

If anything foreign wins in the miniseries categories, it'll likely be Downton Abbey-- much better-known and more followed. Sherlock is a dark horse. Most Americans have not seen it.

I am *thrilled* that the guys are going! I know how Martin hates that Hollywood scene, but... what an honor for the show to be nominated in all those categories, and I'm so glad he and Ben will be there.

Will they run it with German subtitles?
