We know the PGA on everyone's minds is the one that Tiger Woods is taking a break from this week, but the other PGA just made a little news, as well.

Reigning Emmy powerhouses 30 Rock and Mad Men have the opportunity to repeat as episodic comedy and drama of the year at the 2010 Producers Guild of America Awards, which announced its lineup of small-screen nominees today.

Tina Fey's random-as-ever experiment in one-liner hilarity ("What is it, Kenneth? I'm doing my Kegels"), which has won the PGA's top sitcom honor two years running, will square off against Californication, Weeds, Entourage and The Office.

Mad Men will have to get past Dexter, Breaking Bad, Lost and True Blood if it's going to be even more of a two-timer than Don Draper.

Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert will be delighted to learn that his Colbert Report has a chance for a third straight win in the Live Entertainment and Competition category. Project Runway, Top Chef, American Idol and The Amazing Race have been selected to battle Colbert Nation.

Further proving how award season makes for strange bedfellows, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the 'D' List, which airs on Bravo, shares the Non-Fiction TV category with CBS warhorse 60 Minutes, Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch, A&E's Intervention and Showtime's This American Life.

Nominations in the film categories will be announced Jan. 5 and the statues will be handed out Jan. 24 in a ceremony at the Hollywood Palladium.
