No Kiefer Sutherland when he was even nominated for the Season 6 garbage? Fail!
No way will Leary get in over Jon Hamm.
LOL I meant Gabriel Bryne. idk why I put Hamm.
House for best drama? ..
Greys Anatomy has a better chance.
I still don’t see why Anna Paquin won’t get a nomination for “True Blood.” I’m VERY hopeful, obviously, but I think that the fact that she WON the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama this year should still keep her in the running for a slot on the Emmy ballot. I really hope she gets it, too, since I think she’s marvelous as Sookie and deserves an Emmy. As does “True Blood,” obviously, but I think the show will get its recognition at the Emmy’s NEXT year after this season has finished (because this season is huge).
The Shield better get some Love. Michael Chiklis gave a stellar performance in it’s final season.
Love the James Spader nod as well. Though i’d prefer Boston Legal over House.
House?srsly?
Greys anatomy has a better chance.
My fingers are crossed for Mariska. Seriously hope she wins this year. She should have won last year. She was incredible in Undercover.
LOST FTW
Come on Bones need to get a nom this year!!
it always the same shows that get noms every year!!
well i think that the actual emmy list is gonna be just like ausiello predict it, it’s a little bit too classic just like tha academy likes it unfortunately
In other words… boring, safe crap for the idiot masses rises to the top?
No Chuck? Big Bang Theory gets one nom? No HIMYM? Battlestar Galactica, Mary McDonnell, Michael Hogan get snubbed yet again?
This is why awards show are junk.
House had a terrible season, and should not get nominated. True Blood should be there definitely!

Family Guy? Really? If that “comedy” gets a nom I think the Emmys will have pretty much no credibility left. It’s pretty much the laziest written show ever. Especially since The Simposons never got a Best Comedy nod. Ugh.
Is anything wrong with me if I don’t see the ‘charm’ of “Two and a Half Men”?
