OUTSTANDING DRAMA
“Breaking Bad”
“Dexter”
“The Good Wife”
“Lost”
“Mad Men”
“True Blood”
“Breaking Bad”
“Dexter”
“The Good Wife”
“Lost”
“Mad Men”
“True Blood”
Reactions: It's good to see love for Lost's polarizing, but still excellent, final season. This is the only show out of this list that I watch personally, but I know from reputation that all of these shows are very deserving. Mad Men has won for the past 2 years, but my money is on fellow AMC series, Breaking Bad. This show has won Best Lead Actor in a Drama for 2 years in a row now, so I think this show will be given its due. Shout out to freshman show The Good Wife for scoring a nomination.
OUTSTANDING COMEDY
“Curb Your Enthusiasm”
“Glee”
“Modern Family”
“Nurse Jackie”
“The Office”
“30 Rock”
“Curb Your Enthusiasm”
“Glee”
“Modern Family”
“Nurse Jackie”
“The Office”
“30 Rock”
Reactions: The usual nominees The Office and 30 Rock show up here. Curb Your Enthusiasm shows its face again. Another freshman show Nurse Jackie pops gets a nomination. But everybody know the real race here is between 2 comedy powerhouses, Glee and Modern Family. Modern Family has taken the traditional family sitcom and turned it on its ear, while Glee has taken television itself and turned it on its ear. My pick is Modern Family, which in my opinion is a much better and funnier show then Glee.
LEAD ACTOR IN A COMEDY
Jim Parsons – “Big Bang Theory”
Larry David – “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
Matthew Morrison – “Glee”
Tony Shalhoub – “Monk”
Steve Carell – “The Office”
Alec Baldwin – “30 Rock”
Jim Parsons – “Big Bang Theory”
Larry David – “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
Matthew Morrison – “Glee”
Tony Shalhoub – “Monk”
Steve Carell – “The Office”
Alec Baldwin – “30 Rock”
Reactions: A lot of usual nominees here. Matthew Morrison pops up from Glee, mostly for his singing ability I think. My pick is Jim Parsons for Big Bang Theory, the most popular sitcom on television right now, so the Emmy voters want to show love to that show.
LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA
Bryan Cranston – “Breaking Bad”
Michael C. Hall – “Dexter”
Kyle Chandler - “Friday Night Lights”
Hugh Laurie – “House”
Matthew Fox – “Lost”
Jon Hamm – “Mad Men”
Bryan Cranston – “Breaking Bad”
Michael C. Hall – “Dexter”
Kyle Chandler - “Friday Night Lights”
Hugh Laurie – “House”
Matthew Fox – “Lost”
Jon Hamm – “Mad Men”
Reactions: Usual nominees Jon Hamm, Michael C. Hall, Hugh Laurie, and 2 time winner Bryan Cranston show up again. Shout outs to first time nominees Kyle Chandler and Matthew Fox, who has certainly warranted an Emmy nomination from his excellent 6 season acting on LOST. Bryan Cranston is the man to beat here, and I am not one to bet against fate.
LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Lea Michele – “Glee”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus – “The New Adventures Of Old Christine”
Edie Falco – “Nurse Jackie”
Amy Poehler – “Parks And Recreation”

Toni Collette – “United States Of Tara”

Amy Poehler – “Parks And Recreation”
Tina Fey – “30 Rock”
Toni Collette – “United States Of Tara”
Reactions: A few familiar faces show up, but shout outs to first time nominees Lea Michelle, Edie Falco, and Amy Poehler. My money is on Lea Michele to win. She's already won the Golden Globe, and Emmy voters are in LOVE with Glee right now.

Kyra Sedgwick – “The Closer”
Glenn Close – “Damages”
Connie Britton – “Friday Night Lights”
Julianna Margulies – “The Good Wife”
Mariska Hargitay – “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”

She's already won the Golden Globe, and Emmy voters have shown a lot of love for The Good Wife, and I think that will continue. in this category.

Reactions: There's a reason Modern Family is the funniest show on television. Those 3 gentlemen are a large part, and I am thrilled they got nominated. Shout out to Chris Coifer for the surprise nomination from Glee, which he totally deserves, having the best storyline on the show. This is any man's win, so I'm going to go with Eric Stonestreet, possibly the funniest part of Modern Family.

John Slattery – “Mad Men”
Andre Braugher – “Men of a Certain Age”
Reactions: Even though they are both repeaters and former winners, I am very happy to see Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson representing the best show on television. Particularly Terry O'Quinn, who played TWO different characters this season. Very excited for the surprise nomination from TV's most under rated show Men of a Certain Age, congrats Andre Braughner. My pick is Aaron Paul for Breaking Bad. The buzz on his performance is huge, and I think he has it in the bag.
