Neil Patrick Harris gets another Emmy nomination for “How I Met Your Mother”

Will the third time finally be the charm for this gifted and proudly out actor?

Neil Patrick Harris was again nominated for an Emmy in the outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series category for his consistently top-notch performance as Barney on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

Jeremy Piven of Entourage won both previous years when NPH was nominated but this year, he didn’t make the cut and may have been submitted in the best actor category. Not sure. Or maybe he ate too much sushi! At any rate, the competition for NHP is Kevin Dillon (Entourage), Rainn Wilson (The Office), Jon Cryer (Two and A Half Men), Tracy MorganJack McBrayer and (30 Rock).

I think it’s Neil’s year but whatever happens, it’s his year anyway! He’s the HOST of the Emmys!
