For all the excitement surrounding LGBT and LGBT-friendly Emmy nominations -- "Glee" picked up 19 including Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele and openly gay Chris Colfer, plus Jesse Tyler Ferguson of "Modern Family" and Neil Patrick Harris of "How I Met Your Mother" -- the only nominations that really meant anything to me this year were the long-overdue nods to
Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, whose work as a heterosexual married couple on "Friday Night Lights" is the best acting on television today. Sadly, even a grassroots campaign for the equally talented Zach Gillford did not get him noticed by Emmy voters, nor was the show recognized as best drama.
