So, two reality shows about sad, crazy people (A&E's Hoarders and Bravo's Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List) are up for the same Emmy Award. But Griffin apparently loves Hoarders, and A&E is sneakily using that against her, featuring complimentary quotes from the comedian in Hoarders ads campaigning for the Emmy.
