2009 Emmys Light on Horror Nominations

default-featured-image

Despite being nominated for Best Drama and having its star Anna Paquin win Best Actress in a TV Drama at this year’s Golden Globes, “True Blood” was shut out of the major categories for the 2009 Emmy Awards, which announced its nominees earlier today. But that’s not to say it, and a few other genre-related shows, won’t be showing up at the party.

Here’s a list of the horror-tinged shows that were recognized (with a few others whose fanbase includes a lot of our readers and staff members thrown in for good measure). For the full rundown of all the talented nominees, visit the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
