Eonline have the first reaction quotes with some of this year’s Emmy nominees here.

Neil Patrick Harris, nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series for his work as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother: “I love being in the mix again this year, but am absolutely over the moon about HIMYM‘s Best Comedy Series nomination. The only multicamera show in the mix! This kind of recognition is huge for us.  Just huge. It should be quite the night. Being asked to host the show—terrific.  Getting a third nomination—fantastic. Having the ability to scribble my name in the envelope backstage when no one is looking—priceless.”
