Ryan Murphy sure knows how to run a TV show, but his communication skills might need a little work.

Glee scored 12 Emmy nominations today, including a second straight shot at Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for scene-stealer Chris Colfer.

But the reason to celebrate also comes on the heels of news that the Fox show's next season will be Colfer, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith's last.

Colfer assured E! News today that there's "no bitter, just sweet," but guess how he found out that Kurt would be graduating right out of a job?!
