Prince Warbler and his teenage dream

staceysthings:

The following info is from Gold Derby’s Emmy categories thread.  They get insider information from the studios and networks  These guys have Emmy voters on their site, they’ve been doing this stuff for years.  And this is what they said specifically about the acting categories:

We have started receiving Emmy Awards category confirmations from several of the networks and studios. 

…This thread will continue to provide updates as we have them. Also, please keep in mind that even though a studio or network may not submit someone, they may decide to submit themselves. It happens more often than you might think. Official ballots will be released in early June.    

I don’t know if each studio has their own policies but they got the Glee submissions from Fox (not sure if it was from the studio or the network, though).

Here’s the specific Emmy rule about submissions:

9. It is often the case that an agent, manager, studio, production company or broadcast entity will facilitate the entry by submitting the form, but the individual who is listed as the “entrant” is considered by the Academy to be the person who has made the entry.

I know there’s a post out there that indicates that Fox does not submit for actors.  I don’t know if that’s the case or not. All I know is that Boomer over Gold Derby gets the actor submission info for all the studios and networks, including the Fox shows (either from the Fox studio or network), which to me indicates that the studio or network makes the submissions or are at least paying the submission fees for the actors indicated.

Oklahoma currently ranks third in the nation … in terms of total federal disaster and fire declarations. This is not a new trend, every year OK needs Federal help.

Enter Republican Sens. Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn who are fiscal hawks who have repeatedly voted against funding disaster aid for other parts of the country. See Super Storm Sandy. They also have opposed increased funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

It appears increasingly likely that residents who lost homes and businesses [in the Oklahoma tornado] will turn to the federal government for emergency disaster aid. 

With their vindictive and evil voting record on disaster aid for other states solidifying their as*hole status, both Coburn and Inhofe appear to sing a different tune when it comes to such funding for Oklahoma.
