Jeff Melman for (“Remedial Chaos Theory”), Community

Lena Dunham for (“Pilot”), Girls

Louis C.K. for (“Duckling”), Louie

Jesse Peretz for (“Bad in Bed”), New Girl

Amy Poehler for (“The Debate”), Parks and Recreation

AND THE WINNER IS:

LOUIS C.K. FOR ("DUCKLING"), LOUIE

Last Year’s Winner: Eric Stoltz for (“Duets”), Glee

This is the frst win for Louis C.K. on his second nomination for his work on Louie.

Louie in it’s first season was great but this second season was a bit of a revelation for me and Louis C.K. being the center of the entire show does help alot and his direction surprisingly is great. The episode Duckling a longer episode for the show was a great feat especially in direction as the episode was about Louie entertaining the troops and the sweeping shots as well as great comedic timing made the episode great and the work done by Louis C.K. proving how great of a creater he is.
