Primetime Emmy Predictions - Comedy

The emmy's are once again coming, shows are wrapping up and networks are gonna start sending in their tapes and campaigns. Here are my mediocre predictions... time will tell if I'm right!
The final nominee predictions are indicated with a - *
Comedy Series - Possible top 10
The Office *
30 Rock *
Weeds *
Flight of The Conchords
Two and a Half Men *
Entourage *
Samantha Who?
How I Met Your Mother *
Family Guy
The United States of Tara
- Going out on a limb here! Assuming the new popular vote will pull in HIMYM is probably wishful thinking or maybe this is Family Guy's year? Or any other popular comedy could come in. Perenial nominees The Office and Two and a Half Men, and last years winner 30 Rock are a shoo - in. Weeds should finally get in with the popular vote and Showtimes rigorous early campaigning - good selections for the submitted episodes.

Comedy Lead Actor - Top 10
Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock *
Charlie Sheen - Two and a Half Men *
Steve Carell - The Office *
David Duchovny - Californiacation *
Lee Pace - Pushing Daisies
Adrien Grenier - Entourage
Tony Shalhoub - Monk *
Jason Lee - My Name is Earl
Jay Mohr - Gary Unmarried
Kyle Bornheimer - Worst Week
- Again going out on a limb predicting newcomers Jay Mohr and Kyle Bornheimer is a risky guess. Perenial nominees Tony Shalhoub, Steve Carell and Charlie Sheen and last years winner Alec Baldwin are shoo - ins. Up in the air is the last nominee... I'm predicting David Duchovny.

Comedy Lead Actress
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? *
Toni Collette - The United States of Tara *
Felicity Huffman - Desperate Housewives
Sarah Silverman - The Sarah Silverman Program
Teri Hatcher - Desperate Housewives
Eva Longoria - Parker - Desperate Housewives
- Ok so Tina Fey, America Ferrera, Mary Louise Parker and Julia Louis Dreyfus are shoo - ins. I think Christina applegate is safe too. New comer Toni Collette has a bait - y role (multiple personalities) and Showtime is usually pretty good with getting nominations. But she could be interchanged with one of the Housewives.

Comedy Supporting Actor
Justin Kirk - Weeds
John Krassinski - The Office *
Jeremy Piven - Entourage *
Rainn Wilson - The Office *
Jon Cryer - Two and A Half Men *
Jack McBrayer - 30 Rock
Tracy Morgan - 30 Rock
Neil Patrick Harris - How I Met Your Mother *
Kevin Dillon - Entourage
John Corbett - United States of Tara
- Pretty obvious line up there's always room for surprises though....

Comedy Supporting Actress
Elisabeth Perkins - Weeds *
Kristin Chenoweth - Pushing Daisies *
Jenna Fischer - The Office *
Jean Smart - Samantha Who? *
Vanessa Williams - Ugly Betty *
Jane Krakowski - 30 Rock *
Holland Taylor - Two and a Half Men
Conchata Ferrel - Two and a Half Men
Jaime Pressly - My Name Is Earl
Dana Delany - Desperate Housewives
- Again an obvious line up Kristin Chenoweth or Jane Krakowski can be changed for one of the Two and a Half Men ladies

Guest star nominee predictions coming!
