Emmys 2008: Pressly Isn't Named Again, Poehler Scores for SNL

None of the men of
Saturday Night Live found their names on the supporting comedy actor semifinalist list this year, but Amy Poehler is carrying the
SNL torch for the ladies. Last year's winner Jaime Pressly, however, must be feeling the cold shoulder of the Academy, which overlooked her completely this time around. Another big snub is that of the luminous Sarah Chalke, who lights up not only
Scrubs, but now also
How I Met Your Mother.
With Pressly out and Poehler in, see who else is stacking up on the field of competition, thanks to
