This is kind of a disingenuous question as there wasn't much on when "GOT" was airing. They only nominate shows that run in a certain time frame.
Listen, you had people in the thread saying it was the worst show on television. You are saying well there wasn't much on. This time frame spans an entire year of television, there were hundreds.. quite literally hundreds of TV shows that aired during this time frame.
So my question is a logical one. If GOT sucked and doesn't deserve the noms then what does deserve the noms? Should they just not have nominated anything? I'll buy that, if the argument is everything on TV sucks then cool..
Regardless, I'm with the other dude on the technical aspect. If there is a technical award to be won, then I don't see how GOT can't be nominated for them.
