"Kelsey Grammer has claimed that his political beliefs are to blame for his lack of an Emmy nomination. The former Frasier star won a Golden Globe this year for his performance in Starz drama Boss but failed to secure an Emmy nod.   Grammer suggested that the reasons behind the snub were &amp;quot;hard to figure&amp;quot; during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. &amp;quot;It may have to do with several things, honestly, but I think it&amp;#039;s possible [that it&amp;#039;s because] I&amp;#039;m a declared out-of-the-closet Republican in Hollywood,&amp;quot; said the 57-year-old actor. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s possible that some young person, young voting actor - or even older voting member for the Emmys - would sit there and go, &amp;#039;Yeah, that&amp;#039;s a great performance, but ooh, I just hate everything he stands for&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Grammer endorsed Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 presidential primary and later campaigned for John McCain in the general election. He recently endorsed Michele Bachmann for the Republican nomination for president in 2012. &amp;gt; Kelsey Grammer develops NBC crime drama Pariah &amp;gt; Kelsey Grammer remarries Kayte Walsh in Las Vegas Watch Kelsey Grammer on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
