Emmy snubs Delany

She single-handedly juiced "Desperate Housewives" to a level that made us actually want to watch it again. Granted, much of her storyline was serious, what with the spousal abuse and murder and all.

But we must ask for all the Emmy voters to hear: Where the hell is Dana Delany?

Her name is missing from the preliminary list of best supporting actress in a comedy, and we call foul. She went toe-to-toe with Marcia Cross's uptight Bree Hodge and out-Martha-Stewart-ed her every time. She perfected the thin, fake smile and the art of stealing other people's thunder. She lied and covered up and schemed. She was delicious!

Other talented actresses are in the running, like Amy Poehler from "Saturday Night Live," Jenna Fischer from "The Office," Jane Krakowski from "30 Rock" and Judith Light from "Ugly Betty." We'll be tossing our weight behind Krakowski, but that could be a tough battle to win, considering Vanessa Williams looms large in the category.

There are definitely other omissions, like Sarah Chalke from "Scrubs" and last year's winner Jamie Pressley ("My Name is Earl"), which some people might find the bigger problem. But the Delany snub is really unforgivable.
