Jon Cryer reacts to Emmy nomination

Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer has been nominated for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for his role in the troubled sitcom -- and gave a hilarious thank you that gently poked fun at Charlie Sheen without truly pointing any fingers.

"In a year when nothing much has happened on our show and you could barely find a word about me or my co-stars on the Internet, it is lovely to be recognized by the Academy in this way!" Cryer said.

This is Cryer's sixth Emmy nomination for his role on Two and a Half Men, which will see Ashton Kutcher taking over for Charlie Sheen this fall. Of course, you might miss Kutcher's series debut if you're watching Comedy Central instead -- Charlie Sheen is planning to air his roast on the same night.
