You had me at jello.
E! Online’s annual Tater Top Awards bestowed the “Best Kiss” golden spud to Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) of The Office.

P.S. The Office lost in every other category in which it was nominated. Are we upset? Nah.
The L.A. Times Gold Derby forum has compiled a list of T.V. shows campaigning for an Emmy, based on who has published “For Your Consideration” ads and shipped DVDs to Emmy-voting members.
Among the Office submissions:
Nice to finally see some mention of potential writing nominations!
See the complete list here. Thanks to Sam for the reminder!
P.S. If you’re interesting in how the Emmy voting process is changing this year, here’s a pretty detailed article about it.
It was reported earlier that “For Your Consideration” Office DVDs were being sold on eBay — now the print ads are being sold as well!
From what I read, these ads appeared for only one day in the trade mags.
Our good friend Kathie over at GMMR has sounded the alarms (okay, she sent me an email) — it’s time to vote for The Office at E! Online’s annual Tater Top Awards.
The Office is nominated in the following categories:
P.S. While we’re on the subject of voting, there’s a silly little Steel Cage Matchup over at EW, inexplicably pitting the JAM kiss against Susan and Mike’s clinch in Desperate Housewives. If you’re already in voting mode, you might as well add this one to your list.
As reported by TV Guide’s Ausiello Report, the Television Critics Association has just come out with its 2006 award nominations, and The Office did very well!
Congratulations, Office cast and crew!
The awards will be presented on July 23.
“For Your Consideration” DVDs have been emailed to Emmy voters, and like clockwork, they are now appearing for sale on eBay.
The Office Emmy DVD includes two of our favorite episodes, Christmas Party and Booze Cruise.
Here is one eBay listing; anyone here care to bid? Lori? :)
Thanks so much to Me=Lion. You=Dead. for this great find!
TV Guide’s 5th Annual Dream Emmy Ballot is the TVG staff’s Emmy wish list. Since I’m a TVG magazine subscriber, I got my issue ahead of the official announcement (which I think is Thursday).
The Office received two nods:
Yay Steve and John!
But, uh, where is our nomination for Best Comedy?! The nominees that were chosen: Arrested Development, Entourage, Everybody Hates Chris, My Name is Earl, and Scrubs.
We was robbed!
Okay. Must. Calm. Down. This isn’t real, after all!
Update:
Okay, in the online version of the dream ballot, Michael Ausiello says:
… the arrivals of Earl and Chris (not to mention the emergence of The Office, which would have been our sixth nominee) boded uproariously well for the future of the genre.
I feel a little better now.
You can view the full dream ballot here.
E! Online is now accepting noms for its 2006 Tater Top Awards.
What are the Tater Tops? — this is “the only TV kudofest where the winners are chosen solely by the fans,” and the noms are fan-driven as well.
Last year’s Tater Tops included two nods for The Office — for Male Breakout Star and Favorite Comedy. (Neither won.)
Here are the categories that I think The Office could clean up in this year:

I know this ain’t the Emmys. But it is more exposure for our show. And that’s a good thing.
