With the way TV is popping out high quality program year-after-year, network-after-network recently I am more interested in this then the Oscars now. Might not deserve it's own thread but I thought the massive nominations Netflix got for House of Cards and Arrested Development was deserving. The ever changing landscape of how we view our media.

I still haven't seen Downton Abbey, had a plethora of people tell me I'd love it just haven't gotten around to it yet... these are all incredible series though. Just by judging on the last season alone for this years nominations it's a toss up between Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. Hard to deny House of Cards though...

Netflix's commitment to developing original content for its video streaming service appears to be paying off. Following the launch of House of Cards and a fourth season of Arrested Development earlier this year, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced both Netflix shows have been nominated in the 65th Emmy Awards — with Netflix becoming the first company to receive a nomination for an online-only show.
Political drama House of Cards was nominated for nine Emmys, including one for best drama series. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright also received acting nominations for their work. Arrested Development received three nominations in total, after Jason Bateman was nominated for best lead actor in a comedy series. Hemlock Grove also got in on the act with two nominations for music and special effects. Netflix won't have it all it's own way, House of Cards will be up against Homeland, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, and Game of Thrones for the coveted outstanding drama award. Even Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos wasn't expecting the company to fair so well: "The number of awards this morning [14] was sort of a shock for everybody. We didn't plan a big enough party."
