Other comedies receiving multiple nominations included the popular NBC sitcoms ``Frasier'' and ``Seinfeld,'' each with nine nods.

She is best known for playing the role of Dr. Susan Lewis on the hit medical television drama ER; a role for which she has received three Emmy Award nominations. , who has left the show. Absent from the list was heartthrob George Clooney George Timothy Clooney (May 6, 1961) is an American actor, director, producer and screenwriter who gained fame as the lead doctor in the long-running television drama, ER , who had been nominated the last two years. David Duchovny received his first leading actor bid for the supernatural series ``The X-Files.'' Also nominated in the drama category, besides ``ER's'' Edwards, were Sam Waterston of ``Law & Order,'' and Dennis Franz Dennis Franz (born October 28, 1944) is an Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning American actor known for his role as Andy Sipowicz, a gritty police detective in the television series NYPD Blue. and Jimmy Smits of ``NYPD Blue NYPD Blue is an Emmy Award-winning hour long-running American television police drama set in New York City. It was created by Steven Bochco and David Milch and inspired by Milch's relationship with a former member of the New York City Police Department Bill Clark (who .'' ``You never get tired of being flattered by your peers,'' said Franz, who has won two Emmys previously. ``... You think, `Gee that's nice.' It's what we strive for in the business, to be recognized by our peer group.'' Duchovny also received a nod for a guest appearance in a comedy series, ``The Larry Sanders Show.'' Joining ``ER'' stars Margulies and Stringfield in the lead dramatic actress category were Gillian Anderson Gillian Leigh Anderson (born August 9, 1968) is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning American actress, best known for her roles as FBI Agent Dana Scully in the American TV series The X-Files and Lady Dedlock in the BBC TV series Bleak House. of ``The X-Files,'' Roma Downey Roma Downey (born on May 6, 1960 in Derry, Northern Ireland) is an Irish actress and producer, best known for her role as Della Reese's employee, Monica, the main character of the TV series Touched by an Angel. of ``Touched by an Angel'' and Christine Lahti for ``Chicago Hope.'' ``What excites me the most is that so many people from our show are being recognized for their talent and hard work,'' Anderson said. `Homicide' stiffed But the nominations were also conspicuous for their absences. How else could you explain the fact that Andre Braugher, arguably the best actor on television week in and week out, was snubbed once again by the Emmy nominating committee A nominating committee is a group formed usually from inside the membership of an organization for the purpose of nominating candidates for office within the organization. It works similarly to an electoral college, the main difference being that the available candidates, either ? Braugher, who plays Frank Pembleton Francis Xavier "Frank" Pembleton is a fictional homicide detective on the television drama series portrayed by Emmy Award winning actor Andre Braugher. He is a primary character of the show through the first six seasons. on NBC's ``Homicide,'' recently won the Television Critics Association's inaugural award for best performance in a drama. The show itself was also snubbed. Ignoring ``Homicide'' and Braugher adds credence to those who argue that the Emmys are more about popularity than quality. But maybe this will be the year for Garry Shandling, who has brought the most inventive comedy to television from the days of ``It's Garry Shandling's Show It's Garry Shandling's Show is one of the first original programs created by the fledgling Showtime network in the mid-1980s to compete with original HBO comedies like Not Necessarily the News. ,'' to his current masterpiece, ``The Larry Sanders Show.'' In all, Shandling has been rewarded with 16 nominations, but zero Emmys. With Angela Lansbury out of series television, Shandling now can be considered the true Susan Lucci of prime time. Lucci, of course, gets nominated for a Daytime Emmy for her work on ``All My Children'' every year for no reason. It's not like she's going to win or anything. The voters realize how good ``Sanders'' is. ``Sanders'' was lavished with more Emmy nominations than any comedy series in any year, bar none. Both ``The Cosby Show'' and ``The Golden Girls'' earned 15 for the 1985-86 season. It was ``Sanders'' that led HBO to getting the most nominations of any channel, cable or otherwise, with 90. Last year HBO had 14 wins from 66 nominations, topped only by NBC with 20 wins from 88 nominations. Edgy `Sanders' Two of the nominations for ``Sanders'' went to guest stars - Duchovny and Ellen DeGeneres, who had no problems making fun of rumors about her sexuality. In the fictional world of ``The Larry Sanders Show,'' DeGeneres - who in real life was invited to appear on talk show after talk show, always managing to dodge questions about the sexuality of her ``Ellen'' character, Ellen Morgan - slept with Sanders. By season's end, as you must know by now, both Ellen Morgan and Ellen DeGeneres announced publicly they were gay. Besides DeGeneres, comedy series actress bids went to Fran Drescher of ``The Nanny,'' Helen Hunt of ``Mad About You,'' Patricia Richardson of ``Home Improvement'' and Cybill Shepherd of ``Cybill.'' Roseanne was overlooked for her final season of ``Roseanne.'' Nominations for best lead comedic actor went to Shandling, Michael J. Fox of ``Spin City,'' Kelsey Grammer of ``Frasier,'' John Lithgow of ``3rd Rock From the Sun'' and Paul Reiser of ``Mad About You.'' Best miniseries bids went to ``The Odyssey,'' ``The Last Don,'' ``Stephen King's The Shining,'' ``In Cold Blood'' and ``Prime Suspect 5: Errors of Judgement.''
