Emmy Nominations Revealed

Ok so I did my predictions rather hastily this year but anyways here they are

Drama Series:
Mad Men
House
Dexter
Damages
Boston Legal
Lost

Should Win: Dexter
Will Win: Damages
Thoughts: Lost's triumphant return! YAY! Dexter a nice surprise

Comedy Series:
30 Rock
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Entourage
The Office
Two and A Half Men

Should Win: The Office
Will Win: 30 Rock OR The Office
Thoughts: Not a surprising List although Entourage had a dissapointing season and should be replaced with Pushing Daisies Two and A Half Men has no business being here

Lead Actor: Drama
Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad
Michael C. Hall - Dexter
James Spader - Boston Legal
Gabriel Byrne - In Treatment
Jon Hamm - Mad Men
Hugh Laurie - House

Should Win - Michael C. Hall - Dexter
Will Win - Jon Hamm - Mad Men OR James Spader - Boston Legal
Thoughts - Not a surprising list it's a huge toss up between Hamm,Hall,Laurie and Spader. Count out Byrne but don't count out Cranston

Lead Actress: Drama
Glenn Close - Damages
Holly Hunter - Saving Grace
Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer
Mariska Hargitay - Law and Order SVU
Sally Field - Brothers and Sisters

Should Win - Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer
Will Win - Glenn Close - Damages
Thoughts - It's all the same people... I predicted Patricia Arquette and Minnie Driver but instead I got Mariska Hargitay (her episode submission in which she almost gets raped must have hit a chord with voters) and last years dissapointing winner Sally Field...

Lead Actor: Comedy Series:
Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock
Lee Pace - Pushing Daisies
Steve Carell - The Office
Charlie Sheen - Two and A Half Men
Tony Shalhoub - Monk

Should Win - Lee Pace - Pushing Daisies OR Steve Carell - The Office
Will Win - Steve Carell - The Office OR Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock
Thoughts - Maybe emmy is finally tired of giving statues to the same people this year. Really Glad that Lee Pace is on this list! Hope he pulls off a surprise win, Although I Would be fine with Alec Baldwin or Steve Carell taking the trophy.

Lead Actress: Comedy Series
Tina Fey - 30 Rock
America Ferrera - Ugly Betty
Mary-Louise Parker - Weeds
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - The New Adventures of Old Christine
Christina Applegate - Samantha Who?

Should win: Mary-Louise Parker - Weeds
Will Win: Tina Fey - 30 Rock
Thoughts: What a GREAT category! I would be fine with any one of these great actresses taking home the gold!

Supporting Actor: Drama
John Slattery - Mad Men
Zelijko Ivanek - Damages
William Shatner - Boston Legal
Ted Danson - Damages
Michael Emmerson - Lost

Should Win - Michael Emmerson - Lost OR John Slattery - Mad Men
Will Win - John Slattery - Mad Men
Thoughts - please PLEASE do not give William Shatner another emmy. I mean I went out on a limb and predicted that they won't....

Supporting Actress: Drama
Dianne Weist - In Treatment
Sandra Oh - Grey's Anatomy
Chandra Wilson - Grey's Anatomy
Candace Bergen - Boston Legal
Rachel Griffiths - Brothers and Sisters

Should Win - Sandra Oh - Grey's Anatomy
Will Win - It's between the Grey's girls and Candace Bergen. GO GREYS!
Thoughts - Where are the girls from Mad Men and Lost?

Supporting Actor: Comedy
Kevin Dillon - Entourage
Jeremy Piven - Entourage
Rainn Wilson - The Office
Neil Patrick Harris - How I Met Your Mother
Jon Cryer - Two and A Half Men

Should Win - Rain Wilson - The Office OR Neil Patrick Harris
Will Win - Piven,Harris or Wilson I'm leaning towards the two latter
Thoughts - STOP GIVING THE SAME PEOPLE AWARDS ALREADY EMMY'S JEEEZ! *cough Jeremy Piven, Tony Shalhoub, William Shatner, James Spader cough* Ok now I have that out of my system! Oh and where is John Krassinski(sp)?

Supporting Actress: Comedy
Kristin Chenoweth - Pushing Daisies
Vanessa Williams - Ugly Betty
Jean Smart - Samantha Who
Amy Poehler - Saturday Night Live
Holland Taylor - Two and a Half Men

Should Win - Kristin Chenoweth OR Amy Poehler
Will Win - Vannessa Williams But really it's a complete toss up
Thoughts - Such an open category. Amy Poehler is a nice surprise. She submitted the episode with Tina Fey and you know how much emmy LOVES Tina Fey! I Would replace Holland Taylor or Jean Smart wih Jenna Fischer who I am Kinda pissed about not getting nominated. Jean Smarts surprise nom means emmy like Samantha Who? Glad to see emmy branching out and giving shows like Pushing Daisies and Dexter some love this year! Good Luck to all and congrats to the nominees! Thanks for reading until Next time....

Sorry if these lists aren't accurate if they aren't I apologise and Will fix them immediately!

Elisabeth Moss - Mad Men
A wonderful surprise! She is a great actress and along with January Jones are the backbone of the show. Hope to see her in the top 5 but she has some tough veteran nominees to fight off.

Mary McDonnell - Battlestar Gallactica
I know BSG fans will be happy but i'm sorry I hate this show. It's just not my cup of tea.

*Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer
LOVE the Closer and she is great. But this isn't her year unforfunatley Glenn Close has her name all over that statue!

*Glenn Close - Damages
Apparently it's good VERY good I may have to see for myself.

*Minnie Driver - The Riches
Okay okay I also need to watch the Riches but from what i've heard/seen she is also very good.

*Patricia Arquette - Medium
I like Medium she is a very expressive actress but again the competition is there with Glenn Close

*Sally Field - Brothers and Sisters
Finally someone on the list who isn't involved with the law or business in some way Sally Field is loved and respected by every academy out there she got her dues last year it's Glenn Close's year.

Marsika Hargitay - Law and Order SVU
I dislike Law and Order no comment...

*Holly Hunter - Saving Grace
A great actress who deserves a nomination.

Jeanne Tripplehorn - Big Love
I though Chloe Sevigny was the better actress on the show but she is also excellent.

Lead Actor - Drama Top 10
Patrick Dempsey - Grey's Anatomy
He's popular that's why he's on the list but he won't ever get in top 5

Gabriel Byrne - In Treatment
Emmy seems to like In Treatment this year He has tough competition.

Kyle Chandler - Friday Night Lights
This makes up for the absence of Connie Britton on the list.

Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad
Haven't seen the show can't comment

*Michael C. Hall - Dexter
Dexter is awesome. He should finally make top 5 this year

Jon Hamm - Mad Men
Great show with actors with top 10 spots in every drama category he should win if stupid emmy chooses the awful and predictable James Spader -gag-

*James Spader - Boston Legal
Gross! I hate this show only because it's so predictable Emmy likes it too much and could be giving awards to much more deserving people.

*Eddie Izzard - The Riches
I like him in everything he does I should check this show out.

*Hugh Laurie - House
Eh he's an ok choice

*Denis Leary -Rescue Me
My Safety. What an odd show though!?

Supporting Actor- Comedy top 10
*Rainn Wilson - The Office
Dwight Rules! 'Nuff said

*John Krasinski - The Office
Jim Rules! 'Nuff said

Justin Kirk - Weeds
I like him on the show but Romany Malco or Kevin Nealon would have been better choices

Kevin Dillon
*Jeremy Piven - Entourage
God this show is hilariously obnoctious

Tracey Morgan
Jack McBrayer - 30 Rock
Very funny charecters good choices

*Fred Williard - Back to you
I would rather see Patricia Heaton on the lead actress list Although he was funniest on the show. My Safety cause emmy likes sitcoms.

*Jon Cryer - Two and A Half Men
I could think of SO many people more deserving than this sitcom cheap jokester. Ha sorry cheap shot.

*Neil Patrick Harris - How I Met Your Mother
His scenes with Britney will get him in top 5 or even a win
