The Inevitable Emmy entry

You thought you have escaped this when I was on vacation when the nominations came out, you thought you were safe. Ha. I can still magically have opinions about TV shows I do not watch and Actors I don't even recognize, even weeks after the nominations are announced.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series

Ricky Gervais - Extras
Tony Shalhoub - Monk
Steve Carell - The Office
Alec Baldwin - 30 Rock
Charlie Sheen - Two And A Half Men

Ricky Gervais is over, he was funny but now he's just British and as much as audiences love brits, it's more like puppy love and we have moved on. Tony Shaloub already has a couple of these and while I like Monk, Shalhoub isn't really doing any heavy lifting over there. I am the only person in America who does not think Steve Carell and The Office is Hi-larious. Charlie Sheen is funny, but I want Alec Baldwin to win - it has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that I find his ex to be tiresome.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series

James Spader - Boston Legal
Hugh Laurie - House
Denis Leary - Rescue Me
James Gandolfini - The Sopranos
Kiefer Sutherland - 24

Denis Leary is brilliant and Hugh Laurie should have won the last two years, but for reals, like anyone has a chance against The Sopranos. Right.

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series

Felicity Huffman - Desperate Housewives
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - The New Adventures Of Old Christine
Tina Fey - 30 Rock
America Ferrera - Ugly Betty
Mary-Louise Parker - Weeds

I wuv Tina Fey. I want her to win and I want her to market a line of glasses which I would wear despite the fact that they may not flatter me. If it says "Tina Fey" on it, I want it. But I'm pretty sure it's going to Mary-Louise Parker because she's a movie star. it's like the Tony awards, always bet on the slumming movie star.

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series

Sally Field - Brothers & Sisters
Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer
Mariska Hargitay - Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Patricia Arquette - Medium
Minnie Driver - The Riches
Edie Falco - The Sopranos

I hate Minnie Driver. And again, like any one has a chance againts anyone from The Sopranos.

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series

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

A Kevin Dillon win would make me happy, but it' going to be Neil Patrick Harris, just watch. Or the guy from The Office.

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series

William Shatner - Boston Legal
T.R. Knight -Grey's Anatomy
Masi Oka - Heros
Michael Emerson - Lost
Terry O’Quinn - Lost
Michael Imperioli - The Sopranos

T.R Knight because he was "victimized". But again, no chance against The Sopranos, no matter how many mean words are hurled at you.

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series

Jaime Pressly - My Name is Earl
Jenna Fischer - The Office
Holland Taylor - Two and a Half Men
Conchata Ferrell - Two and a Half Men
Vanessa Williams - Ugly Betty
Elizabeth Perkins - Weeds

Jaime Pressly is my homegirl. Kind of.

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series

Rachel Griffiths - Brothers and Sisters
Katherine Heigl - Grey's Anatomy
Chandra Wilson - Grey's Anatomy
Sandra Oh - Grey's Anatomy
Aida Turturro - The Sopranos
Lorraine Bracco - The Sopranos

I don't care if the entire female cast of Grey's Anatomy is nominated, The Sopranos will win OR, the three from GA and the two from TS will cancel each other out and Rachel Griffiths will get it.

Outstanding Comedy Series

Entourage
The Office
30 Rock
Two And A Half Men
Ugly Betty


30 Rock! 30 Rock! 30 Rock!

Outstanding Drama Series

Boston Legal
Grey’s Anatomy
Heroes
House
The Sopranos


Puhleese.

Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series

The Colbert Report
The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
Late Night With Conan O’Brien
Late Show With David Letterman
Real Time With Bill Maher


I want TDS and TCR to both win. But, if one can, it must be The Daily Show
