(CBS News) Nominees for the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced Thursday morning, and while many TV fans were able to celebrate their favorite stars and shows, others are bemoaning the omission of theirs.

Here's a look at who was left out:

"Mad Men," "American Horror Story" lead Emmy nods
Emmy Awards 2012: List of nominees

• Julianna Margulies received a nomination for her role on "The Good Wife," but the CBS drama was shut out of the Outstanding Drama Series category.
• Hugh Laurie was not nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the final year of "House."
• Three seasons of "Community" and still no Emmy nominations for the fan-favorite comedy or its ensemble cast.
• Zombies might be popular with fans, but apparently not with Emmy voters. "The Walking Dead" didn't receive a nod for Outstanding Drama Series, and none of the cast received nominations.
• "Glee" seems to have fallen out of favor with Emmy voters as well - its only nomination was in the guest-acting category.
• "Parks and Recreation" didn't receive a nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series. Others are also crying foul on Nick Offerman's omission from the Emmys list (he was supposed to read the nominations Thursday morning, but was sidelined by travel-related delays. Jimmy Kimmel filled in).
• Louis C.K.'s series "Louis" was also not part of the Outstanding Comedy Series list.
• No nods for "Cougar Town" or star Courteney Cox (who has still never earned an Emmy nomination).
• Timothy Olyphant of "Justified" was nominated in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category last year, but the honor eluded him this year.
• Kelsey Grammer won a Golden Globe in January for his role on "Boss," but the actor was shut out of this year's Emmy ballot.
• No "Luck" for Dustin Hoffman, either - the actor was passed over in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category.
• While Claire Danes and Damian Lewis got acting nods for "Homeland," co-star Mandy Patinkin did not.
• For the first time since the category was created, "Survivor" host Jeff Probst is not nominated for Outstanding Reality Show Host.
• Another reality show snub: "American Idol" wasn't nominated for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program. ("The Voice," it's worth noting, did get a nod.)
• "The Killing" didn't receive a single nomination.
• No love for "Sons of Anarchy" or its cast this year.
• "Mad Men" leads this year's nominees with 17 nominations, but honors for John Slattery and newcomer Jessica Pare aren't on that list.

i'll never understand why sons of anarchy gets snubbed so often. that show and all of it's actors are absolutely brilliant. charlie hunnam, katey sagal, ron perlman and possibly even maggie siff deserved recognition this year.

the same goes for community. and mr. ron swanson himself.

those are the SNUBS?? lol

How about PSYCH?, like EVER?????

Psych is and has been the best show on Television since it first aired in 2006. Has the show or any of the cast EVER received ANY NOMINATIONS? (and I don't count stuff like "Best Song" in an episode or "Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media." I mean the ACTUAL awards that people pay attention to such as Best Actor/Actress and Best Comedy/Musical)

of course not.

Glee and American Idol have gone way past the expiration date! No nod should go that way.
Courtney Cox and Kelsey Grammer have no business on television, let alone getting acknowledged for anything. Cox is not a good actress. Grammer is a wacko.

I don't understand "Modern Family", I tried watching it, but to me it was a slap in the face of family life and quite racist and demeaning. Is that what we are coming to?

I think this article should be snubbed. The Walking Dead was terrible this season, and just because shows are popular doesn't mean they deserve nominations.

Mandy Patinkin was deserving, but who would you remove from the Best Supporting Actor category to get him in.

Luck lasted, what, seven episodes?

And don't even *bother* mentioning Glee -- which jumped the shark before season 1 ended.

I thought Jane Epsen deserved a writing nomination for "Skin Deep" on ONce Upon a Time. I think Fringe's John Noble and Once's Robert Carlyle deserved supporting drama nods.

Robert Carlyle in "Once Upon a Time" should have been recognized in the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama category. His performance is electric every time he is on screen.

[Ginamaggie]

The Killing is the best show on tv and should not have been snubbed!

You're absolutely right !! Great acting all around from not so well known actors ... especially the 2 leads ! Mireille Enos should have been at the top of the list !! Shows what do you nominators know ... nothing.
