Glee wasn't the only new show to do well: Modern Family and The Good Wife also received nominations. Nor was Conan wasn't the only fan favorite to score: Betty White was nominated for her appearance on Saturday Night Live. Speaking of SNL, its 12 nominations brought it to a total of 126 since it began, putting it over the top of ER's record 124. Not surprisingly, HBO was the network with the most nominations at 101, Variety reports. (More Emmy Awards stories.)
