Emmy nominations were announced in the wee hours of the morning, heralding the beginning of the awards season, which lasts almost as long as hockey season. For the first time in several years, South Park was not nominated. However, seeing new names on the ballot for voice-over performance is a pleasant surprise. Following are nominees for the big categories in animated TV.

Outstanding Animated Progam: American Dad for "Hot Water;" The Penguins of Madagascar for "The Return Of The Revenge Of Dr. Blowhole;" Futurama for "The Tip Of The Zoidberg;" Bob's Burgers for "BurgerBoss" (woo hoo!); The Simpsons for "Holidays Of Future Passed."
Predicted Winner: Bob's Burgers for "BurgerBoss," because not only is the show brilliant, but also Emmy voters sometimes give props to the new kid on the block.
Short-Format Animated Program: Phineas and Ferb for "The Doonkleberry Imperative;" MAD for "Kitchen Nightmare Before Christmas / How I Met Your Mummy;" Regular Show for "Eggscellent;" Adventure Time for "Too Young;" Robot Chicken for "Fight Club Paradise."
Predicted Winner: Adventure Time for "Too Young," because that show is hot, hot, hot.
Voice-Over Performance: Dan Povenmire as Doctor Doofenshmirtz in Phineas and Ferb "Across The 2nd Dimension;" Maurice LaMarche (last year's winner) as Calculon / Clamps / Donbot / Hedonismbot / Hyperchicken / Morbo in Futurama "The Silence Of The Clamps ;" Brenda Strong as Mary-Alice Young in Desperate Housewives "Give Me The Blame / Finishing The Hat;" Hank Azaria as Carl / Chief Wiggum / Comic Book Guy / Duffman / Mexican Duffman / Moe Szyslak in The Simpsons "Moe Goes From Rags To Riches;" Rob Riggle as Noel in Disney Prep & Landing: Naughty Vs. Nice; Kristen Wiig as Lola in The Looney Tunes Show "Double Date."
Predicted Winner: Rob Riggle as Noel in Disney Prep & Landing: Naughty Vs. Nice, because he's a talented mainstay in TV. He may get the nod as a way to honor all the top-notch work he provides on the variety of shows where he's been a guest star. Plus, Disney has the bucks to put together a heavy campaign for him.
