PBS, NBC Lead News & Doc Emmy Nominees

Not unsurprisingly, Katrina and Iraq stories dominate this year’s list of nominees for the News and Documentary Emmy Awards. PBS leads the way with 33. NBC (19) edged out CBS (16) and ABC (14) among the major networks. The awards will be presented September 27 at the Marriot Marquis.

CNN, whose coverage will be remembered not only for Anderson Cooper’s star-making turn but for a late-night outburst [above] involving meteorologist Chad Myers, received six.

If we were members of the Academy, we’d give Myers an Emmy just for that.
