LOS ANGELES - Suspense drama 24 and Grey's Anatomy, the hit medical drama that focuses as much on its interns' love lives as medicine, were among the top nominees announced yesterday for the Emmy Awards.

The leading nominee, with 16 bids, was the miniseries Into the West.

In a major reversal from last year's awards, neither Lost or Desperate Housewives received best-series nominations. Both won last year.

A number of acting bids went to stars of shows that have left the air, including Frances Conroy and Peter Krause of Six Feet Under, Geena Davis of Commander in Chief, and Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, and Alan Alda of The West Wing.

24 led all series with 12 nominations, followed by Grey's Anatomy with 11. Both received best drama series bids and were joined in the category by House, The Sopranos, and The West Wing.

For 24, Kiefer Sutherland received a best-actor bid. Among the Grey's Anatomy stars recognized were Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson, with supporting-actress nominations. The show was shut out of the best-actress and actor categories.

The comedy-series nominees were Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, Scrubs, and Two and a Half Men.

The stars of Desperate Housewives, which lost its status as critical darling in its sophomore season although it held its ratings, were missing this year from the lead acting category. The stars of Lost met the same fate.

Besides Sutherland, other best-actor nominations for a drama went to Peter Krause of Six Feet Under, Denis Leary of Rescue Me, Christopher Meloni of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Martin Sheen of The West Wing.

Joining Conroy, Davis, and Janney in the best drama series actress category were Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Kyra Sedgwick of The Closer.

The nominees for best actress in a comedy series were Stockard Channing of Out of Practice, Jane Kaczmarek of Malcolm in the Middle, Lisa Kudrow of The Comeback, Debra Messing for Will & Grace, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus for The New Adventures of Old Christine.

Louis-Dreyfus, along with another past Emmy winner, Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond) announced nominations in the top categories in a brief televised ceremony yesterday at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre.

"Honey, I got nominated. It's hilarious, it's unbelievable," Louis-Dreyfus told her husband over the phone.

"My skin feels like it's buzzing," she told the Associated Press. "Or maybe that's from all the coffee I've been drinking since 1 a.m."

Showing the flag for Desperate Housewives was series newcomer Alfre Woodard, who received a bid as best supporting actress in a comedy. Joining her were Cheryl Hines of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Jaime Pressly of My Name Is Earl, Elizabeth Perkins of Weeds, and Megan Mullally of Will & Grace.

Actors nominated in the supporting category in comedy were Will Arnett of Arrested Development, Jeremy Piven of Entourage, Bryan Cranston of Malcolm in the Middle, Jon Cryer of Two and a Half Men, and Sean Hayes of Will & Grace.

Top nominees in the movie and miniseries field, besides Into the West, included Elizabeth I, Mrs. Harris, and Bleak House.

The Emmy Awards are scheduled to air Aug. 27 on NBC, with Conan O'Brien as host of the Shrine Auditorium ceremony. The awards, traditionally held in September at the start of the TV season, were moved up because of NBC's addition of Sunday-night football to its schedule.

There is a total of 94 Emmy categories.

Other Emmy honors, including those for technical achievement and guest actors and actresses in series, will be given at the creative-arts ceremony on Aug. 19.
