Viewers may have rejected "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," but Emmy voters showed a soft spot for Aaron Sorkin's showbiz skein.

NBC drama managed to score five noms, the same number as big hits such as "CSI"--and more than the tallies for some frosh skeins that will be back for second seasons, including "Brothers & Sisters," "Dexter" and "The Tudors."

While the noms might be a bit of a consolation for Sorkin, voters' love had some limits.

"Studio 60" didn't land any noms in the writing category, and it's A-list cast of regulars was overlooked. (Matthew Perry notched a nom, but it was for his work in the TNT telepic "The Ron Clark Story").

Skein's guest cast fared better: John Goodman and Eli Wallach both landed noms in the guest actor category. And helmer/exec producer Thomas Schlamme was nommed for the "Studio 60" pilot.

Other two noms were for cinematography and casting.
