The nominations are out! Who do you think will win?
Outstanding Lead Actor, Comedy
Nominees:
Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm
Tony Shalhoub, Monk
Steve Carrell, The Office
Matthew Morrison, Glee
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Prediction
I have a feeling Alec Baldwin or Steve Carrell will be grabbing the award again. They’ve proven every season why they were even nominated in the first place.
Outstanding Lead Actress, Comedy
Nominees
Amy Poehler, Parks and Recreation
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, The New Adventures Of Old Christine
Lea Michele, Glee
Toni Collette, United States Of Tara
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Prediction
Toni Collette does a great job playing multiple characters in United States of Tara, and I won’t be surprised if she does win.
Outstanding Lead Actor, Drama
Nominees
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
Hugh Laurie, House
Michael C. Hall, Dexter
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Matthew Fox, Lost
Prediction
Hands down, I think Michael C. Hall should win. Anyone who can convince me to sympathize and root for a serial killer wins in my book.
Outstanding Lead Actress, Drama
Nominees
January Jones, Mad Men
Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer
Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Glenn Close, Damages
Julianna Marguilies, The Good Wife
Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Prediction
Glenn Close is still amazing in Damages, but Julianna Marguilies surprised everyone with her TV comeback in The Good Wife. It could be a close call.
Outstanding Comedy Series
Nominees
Curb Your Enthusiasm, HBO
Modern Family, ABC
The Office, NBC
30 Rock, NBC
Nurse Jackie, Showtime
Glee, FOX
Prediction
I have a strong feeling Modern Family will be taking the award. It’s the hottest comedy show right now, and their unique approach works for them.
Outstanding Drama Series
Nominees
True Blood, HBO
Dexter, Showtime
Mad Men, AMC
The Good Wife, CBS
Breaking Bad, AMC
Lost, ABC
Prediction
I hope if Lost wins, they don’t give it because the show ended, but because it was an amazing show. That being said though, I think Dexter will take it.
