Timothy Olyphant and 'Justified'

Another high-profile star who was overlooked was Timothy Olyphant of FX’s “Justified.” He was nominated last year for lead actor in a drama. As for the series, its sole marquee nod went to Jeremy Davies for guest actor in a drama.   (Anne Cusack / Los Angeles Times)

'American Idol'

After years of being a regular contender, Fox’s “American Idol” was shut out of the reality-completion category.
