Amy Poehler Celebrates Emmy Nom With 'Ice-Cream Shots'

With a baby on the way, Amy Poehler says she and husband Will Arnett will celebrate her Emmy nomination with prenatal care in mind.

"Ice-cream shots!" Poehler tells PEOPLE after she was nominated for outstanding actress in a comedy series on Saturday Night Live.

"It's super hot," adds Arnett. "So it'll be a lot of staying indoors, getting ice cream, and keeping cool."

The comedy couple don't know the sex of their child, and haven't prepared a nursery yet, but they say they've still got some time yet to get ready.

"I think it drops in October," Arnett, 38, says. "We're very excited."

Poehler jokingly confesses there might be another issue they have to deal with first.

"My brother said when they announce the nominees I'll take up two of the five boxes," Poehler, 36, says.

Emmy Nods: Seacrest vs. Klum, 30 Rock and Mad Men

Emmy to Honor Reality Show Hosts for First Time

Originally posted 07/17/2008 09:10AM

The TV Academy got a birthday cake for its 60th birthday Thursday morning – while American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Project Runway's Heidi Klum and Dancing With the Stars' Tom Bergeron, as well as Deal or No Deal's Howie Mandel and Survivor's Jeff Probst, all got nominations in the first-time ever category of top host for a reality-competition show.

While Deal or No Deal and Survivor both failed to earn nods as best reality-competition show, all the other programs did, along with Top Chef and Amazing Race.

In drama, as expected, it was a Mad world, with AMC's critical hit Mad Men making a strong showing – it nabbed 16 nominations (highest of any drama series), including those as best drama series and for its leading actor, Jon Hamm.
