Emmy Nominations: PEOPLE TV Critic's Take

Originally posted 09/22/2012 06:40PM

If you ask why I am crying, it's because Madeleine Stowe, star of ABC's Revenge, is not among the Emmy nominees. In fact, I am crying just as she would: My eyes are ringed with big, ready-to-drop tears of wrath and sorrow.

Otherwise, the latest batch of nominees is pretty satisfying.

It's great to see Lena Dunham and her fantastic HBO comedy Girls up for best actress and show. (But nothing for the supporting cast?) Dunham, who plays a smart, funny, self-absorbed young writer, is running against her comic antithesis: Zooey Deschanel of FOX's New Girl, on which she plays (and plays very well) a cupcake.

New Girl's Max Greenfield Thought Emmy Nod Was an Online Rumor

Originally posted 09/21/2012 02:30PM

When New Girl star Max Greenfield learned about his Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy series, he could not believe it – literally.

"I saw it on the Internet but ... I thought the Internet was lying to me, because I hadn't gotten a call [from my manager]," he tells PEOPLE.

Instead, the actor, who plays Schmidt on the Fox series, got confirmation when he arrived to the set of his forthcoming movie They Came Together in New York.

"I was walking into hair and makeup, and Paul Rudd turned around and was like 'Hey man, congrats on the Emmy nom,' " says Greenfield, 32, who starred and directed a new Web series for AXE during his hiatus.

Zooey Deschanel's New Girl: Love It or Hate It?

Originally posted 09/21/2011 05:30PM

Will you make room for New Girl, Fox's new comedy starring Zooey Deschanel?

The comedy centers on a quirky, sweet and silly teacher named Jess Day, who moves in with three straight guys after she catches her boyfriend cheating.

In the pilot, which aired Tuesday, Jess convinces the guys – Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Coach (guest star Damon Wayans Jr.) – that she should move into their apartment by telling them she's friends with models.

After spending a week on the couch sobbing over Dirty Dancing, the guys attempt to resuscitate Jess's love life by taking her out to a bar in search of a rebound.
