The deadline for Emmy nomination submissions has passed ... and Charlie Sheen's name wasn't submitted in time, according to TVLine's Michael Ausiello.

April 29th was the deadline, and Sheen's work in Two and a Half Men will not be recognized this year. Some are pointing the finger at Sheen's "people" for dropping the ball .. especially since he has changed publicists. Others are saying Warner Bros TV never had any intentions of submitting Sheen for an award.

Find out how Charlie Sheen secured his $100 million contract for Two and a Half Men back in 2010 ... after the jump.

“Don’t ever play poker with him. Warner Bros. was like, ‘We’re offering a million dollars [per episode] for two years, and nobody walks away from $48 million.’ I said, ‘Guys, he’s going to walk. I’m not bluffing.’

It wasn’t until the day before the up-fronts that I picked up my son at school, and we were driving to a Laker playoff game, and I had Charlie and his attorney Jake Bloom on speakerphone the entire drive down. At the time they were up to $72 million, a million and a half an episode. Jake gave Charlie a 25-minute speech about how this will set your grandchildren up and you could do whatever you want. ‘This is more than Kelsey Grammer made on Frasier.’ I parked the car, I’m now on my cell phone, walking into the stadium, and Charlie goes, ‘Pass. Mark, it’s a hundred million or I’m not doing it.’ Charlie hangs up, and Jake called up Bruce Rosenblum [president of Warner Bros. Television Group] and Les Moonves and passed during the national anthem. I’m like, ‘Wow, I hope he knows what he’s doing.’” Before the game began “they said yes [to $100 million],” Burg tells Seal."
