Cameron, Phil, Claire and Gloria all earned nominations. But best of all is the nomination for Outstanding Performance By An Ensemble in a Comedy Series, because when it comes down to it, they’re a family (a Modern Family).

Modern Family is bedecked with Emmys, and it’s now sweeping SAG nominations. The only question here is why? (And any good fan can tell you.)

The characters are honest, the conflicts aren’t forced and the dialogue is unbeatable. The show has the type of humor that doesn’t just appeal to a niche audience but garners the appreciation of all ages. And most of all, the characters are just lovable.

We feel it deserved its five nominations which are listed below:

Outstanding Performance By A Male Actor In A Comedy Series
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Ty Burrell, Modern Family
Steve Carell, The Office
Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family

Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Comedy Series
Julie Bowen, Modern Family
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Sofia Vergara, Modern Family
Betty White, Hot In Cleveland

Outstanding Performance By An Ensemble In A Comedy Series
30 Rock
The Big Bang Theory
Glee
Modern Family
The Office

We love everyone who was nominated for an individual award, but we are really hoping for the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble award (fingers and toes crossed).

Do you think the right characters were nominated? Do you think Modern Family deserves all of the hype?
