Closed captioning of: 'Mad Men' earns 19 Emmy nominations
>>> astounding roundup of emmy nods, "madmen" 19 nominations in today's ceremony, including best male and female leads and best drama series . today's announcements featured both familiar faces and a new newcomers, "mike and molly" actress melissa mccarthy who learned about the nomination presenting at the podium. we'll get the scoop on the other contenders and at least one big snub from today.com's pop culture columnist courtney hasletts. 19 nods for "madmen" but struggling? the ratings?

>> it opens up the real estate a little bit. opens up the real estate . fun to watch this morning.
