Modern Family up for 17 Emmys

ABC's "Modern Family," which was last year's top comedy series, was the most-nominated sitcom with 17 bids, while "Mildred Pierce," a melodramatic miniseries starring Kate Winslet, led all programs with 21 bids.

Other shows vying for the comedy crown, in addition to "Modern Family," are three-time winner "30 Rock," "Glee," "The Office" and "Parks & Recreation." Even though "Glee" is back in the category, the sophomore musical hit experienced a bit of a comedown, seeing its nomination total fall from last's year's 19 to 12. Among the dropouts: Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison.

Still, at least "Glee" is in the running. Several other deserving sitcoms, including "Community," "The Middle" and "Raising Hope," all missed the cut. Also overlooked was the edgy critical darling, "Louie," which did score a first-time nomination for its lead actor, Louis C.K.

Modern Family," which should be favored to repeat as best comedy, once again dominated the supporting acting categories with Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara representing the show on the women's side and Ed O'Neill, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ty Burrell earning nominations for the men. O'Neill's nomination was particularly satisfying, since he was the only member of the show's main cast be excluded last year.
