Emmy nominations - Flight of the Conchords
Are you Camp Bret or Camp Jemaine?
The wonderful 30 Rock is up for 22 Emmys - leaving us to wonder just how many there are in total anyway. But one interesting point from yesterday's nominations announcement is that of those in the running for best comedy actor, which includes Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement - but not partner in crime Bret McKenzie.
Cruel oversight, or is Clement (also noted for his role in terminally unamusing New Zealand indie flick Eagle vs Shark) really the funnier of the two? Is it fair to split up the Conchords in such a competitive way when their own brand of comedy depends so utterly on their partnership?
Whatever happens though, Clement has to be the underdog, going up as he is against Alec Baldwin (as the practically peerless Jack Donaghy in 30 Rock), Charlie Sheen for Two and a Half Men, and Steve Carell for the (American) Office.
Here's some classic Conchords, in happier times:
