The Emmy nominations were announced yesterday and, as always, there were the usuals, the surprises, and the snubs.

Lady Gaga performed in a wheel chair in Australia on Wednesday! She performed at Sydney Town Hall channeling Kurt Cobain’s famous appearance in a wheelchair at a 1992 gig in England. With a black shroud draped over her head, Gaga wheeled herself onstage halfway through her hour-long set. “You believed in me.
