Also triumphing on the primetime television is the Paul Giamatti-starring miniseries "John Adams". Like "30 Rock", the show accumulates 3 nominations, the same amount that other series like "Mad Men", "The Closer" and "Boston Legal" gather. This time the network that earns most of the nomination is HBO with 9 while ABC and NBC follow behind with 8.
The nominees are selected by actors' peers through a voting that was completed by noon Tuesday, December 16. The second round of voting that determines the winners will be conducted in January and announced on the ceremony on date 25.
