Early Emmys, Prelim Palin, Fey Feted

They have so many Emmys to award, they have to hand out the minor ones a week early. But Tina Fey getting one for her impersonation of Sarah Palin is one of the most deserved ever.

The TV Academy may be a bit nutty over 30 Rock, nominating it for everything imaginable, but Fey's outside work as Palin was one of the most memorable stints ever on SNL, bringing a notoriety and currency to the show it hadn't had in years.
