Second City Alum Tina Fey and her outstanding comedy 30 Rock got a whole lot of love from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences today when the show earned a whopping 22 Emmy nominations (http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/sns-ap-us-emmy-nominations,0,5825209.story), the most of any show this year. Fey also garnered another nomination for Lead Actress in a Comedy and her Sarah Palin imitation (http://www.hulu.com/watch/37730/saturday-night-live-vp-debate-open-palin--biden) grabbed a Guest Actress nomination.
