Hugh Laurie of "House" not getting nominated for an Emmy is the dumbest possible television thing.
Jonathan Storm:
House got a best-drama nomination, but the man who plays House, and basically is the show, Hugh Laurie, did not.
Robert Philpot:
Winners: Fox's cranky-doctor show House received a best drama series nomination, riding on the coattails of star Hugh Laurie and lead-in American Idol...
Losers: ... House may have ridden Hugh Laurie's coattails, but Laurie himself wasn't fashionable enough for Emmy voters.

David Bianculli:
Start with Hugh Laurie. Though the Fox medical series "House," like ABC's medical series "Grey's Anatomy," made the Outstanding Drama Series cut for the first time in its sophomore season, Laurie himself was snubbed in the Outstanding Lead Actor category. That's ridiculous, since without House, there is no "House." Laurie's performance is too central, and too good, to be ignored - yet it was.
