Tina Fey's surprise return to Saturday Night Live as Sarah Palin was one of the ten greatest TV moments of 2008 (and quite possibly the decade, the century, the millennium and the eon).

So it's no surprise that Fey's name and show 30 Rock came up so many times in the recent list of Emmy nods. I'm no longer convinced that she's a woman. I'm convinced she's an experimental humanoid prototype designed by studio executives solely to win awards like Tom Hanks (aka "Project Red Shoe").

It's also no surprise that one of the two acting nods she scored included her Palin performance on SNL.

TV fans, it's your big day! OK, maybe you don't take it as personally as we do (it is our job, after all). At the very least, today's a good day for some of your favorite TV stars -- and by now, they know who they are (we're sure many a celeb was happy to be roused out of warm beds in the wee hours of the West Coast morning by excited calls from family, friends or publicists).

If you don't know, but want to, check out our Emmys package. (And yes, the news is fantastic for '30 Rock' and its stars -- besides nominations for Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, three more of their castmates got the golden ticket, plus three actors who guest-starred on the show!)
