Peg + Cat is also nominated in two additional categories (including "Best Series"), and I head out to the ceremonies in L.A. next week for the results (I was also thrilled last year to have won my first Emmy, for "Outstanding Music Direction and Composition", as a member of the show's excellent composing team!)
