My Dream Emmy Nominations part 1: Best Supporting Actor and Actress (comedy)

yes to all the Office nominees. after six years of amazing acting please give them some credit. john, jenna, and steve ftw! and @Bobby’s Robot, rainn COMPLETELY deserves a nom. he’s literally so fantastic.

Keir Gilchrist in United States of Tara! please!

I’m always voting for Chris Colfer. He steals every scene he’s in and is the only cast member to bring me to tears (alongside Mike O’Malley)

Both deserve a nod and are honestly the only two I’m rooting for this year…although I wouldn’t say no to a Jane Lynch nomination, but if she’s nominated she had better win.

I think Rico Rodriguez from Modern Family needs to be nominated for an Emmy! I’m tired of Glee winning every award, MF is such an amazing show!

Michael Urie all the way!!!!!

I agree 100% with Rayven. I’m an artist cetlunrry signed with Warner Bros I love answering questions like this in hopes that people will spread the word! There’s nothing that I despise more than some management company or production company attempting to sale me a song that they have on their myspace, facebook, public websites. Silently Im thinking .. why would I want them after everyone has heard them already????? Duuuuhhh! That’s the question that I always ask them in our meetings, and to be honest I don’t think they even think about it that way. LOL! If you want to be an artist then I say put the songs on your myspace page. But if you want to sell your music/songs then something like myspace, facebook, twitter etc is not only the WRONG place to go, but a definite dead end to your music/song as far as shopping goes. Perhaps you can keep the song for yourself perform it as your own if its already doing well on your myspace page.

Definately Howard

Totally agree for Chris Colfer. His scenes with Mike O’Malley are always amazing.

Seriously? Aubrey Plaza?

Ya seriously there’s too many to choose this year ..then shows like us of Tara and weeds and nurse Jackie and such could go in that category

i couldn’t agree more.
she’s been robbed EVERY year since Ugly Betty began.

yes absolutely… she totally deserves the win too

YES! As much as I enjoy Jane Lynch and the Modern Family women, Vanessa Williams deserves the Emmy after being robbed for the past three years. And Michael Urie too– after watching some season one episodes, you can really see how Marc has changed and grown.

Oh THANK YOU for mentioning it. I think Jane Lynch is hilarious on Glee, but VW to me is still better. And she’s been doing it longer and more consistently. How could she not even make this list???

The whole cast is brilliant, but I’d also include Jesse Tyler Ferguson… I could do without Parks & Rec myself, so throw Jesse Tyler in there.

When then you are an idiot.

It’s easy for Jane Lynch to steal the show – the “Glee” cast can’t act for spit.

Your list is incomplete – Jim Parsons!

Dontcha love it when ill-informed people comment? LOL

YES! I’m so glad someone finally mentioned Portia de Rossi. That woman is hilarious.

I have to agree – most of them cant act.

Thank you Will! So good to know I’m not alone. I cringe watching his scenes. And turn away from the tv when he sings. He tries so damn hard with his weird expressions. urgh! ruins the show

AGREED!

While this is VERY true, I think Lea Michele and Chris Colfer really shine. Especially in recent episodes, Lea has really impressed me.

Just watch the episode where Will finds out his wife has been faking her pregnancy. That was some great acting on his part…I really thought he would hit her. I do wonder, however, if Aus only watches five TV shows….

“COME UP WITH SOME ORIGINAL SONGS”-Jeff Winger, The Show Better Than Glee. Abed And Shepherd’s Ex Wife For The Win

WHAT A SHOCKER! There are people that ALWAYS have to bring something down. My guess is half of you have never seen the show for more than two minutes and have to put it down because it is all over the place. Typical.

Eden Sher (The Middle) and Ed Helms (The Office) gave me big-time laughs this season.

Aziz!! for the DJ Roomba episode and his sad storyline with his divorce, he kept it real and funny at the same time.

early july i beleive.

With all the new freshman shows that are taking television by strom. The comedy are where the real competition is this year. The whole drama category is just weak this year.

jane krakowski is definitely the most underrated on 30 rock. and chris pratt from p&r would be a dream nomination! he can’t be not funny.

Amen. The cast as a whole is awful. Jane is amazing though.

There are a lot of good actors on Glee. For those who have a hate on for Mathew Morrison, I like an actor with an expressive face – I don’t find him overdoing things at all. However, I can advise that you switch to CSI (Miami in particulr) as you can there enjoy all the expressionless acting you prefer.

I like rachel/jessie/brittany(her one-liners should get an honorary emmy)/emma. But yeah, most of the others are either poor actors or are average-decent hampered by poor scenarios, imo.

“COME UP WITH SOME ORIGINAL SONGS”-Jeff Winger, The Show Better Than Glee. Abed And Shepherd’s Ex Wife For The Win

Eden Sher (The Middle) and Ed Helms (The Office) gave me big-time laughs this season.

yes! kaitlin olson needs to be nominated.

haterrrrrrrrr! If anything, I feel sorry for you honey…Ugly Betty is and will always be a show to remember for it’s boldness and beautiful message.
Geez hunny, you’d think someone who spells their name ‘lyndsay’ would be able to accept a different show like Ugly Betty. Damn you have bad taste.

um i can! Vanessa Williams and becki newton!

You forget this is the Emmys where new shows beat out old shows all the time. I don’t see Ugly Betty’s mediocre run this year having enough strength to muscle its way into the race. With Glee Modern Family and Community and Big Bang Theory basically comming onto our cultural radar this year Betty is knocked out.

*Alec oops lol

What..? Hello 30 Rock? Tina Fey? Alex Baldwin? They’ve won 3 times in a row honey. Old is gold.

Agreed!

Get in line!

completley agree love both of them but after the last few episodes i would have to give it to Beckeet if only one was chosen

WORD to Merritt Wever. She is the best thing about that amazing show. A totally glamorless role, and she just goes for it.

Merrit Wever as Zooey is amazing! The best part of the entire show Dr. O’Hara and Akalitus are inspired as well. Actually my least favorite part of the show is Jackie, which is saying something b/c Edie Falco is amazing! Coop deserves a nod as well! I’m sick of the same shows getting nominated year after year these lists need to be shaken up even if 30 Rock and Mad Men win ultimately. At least let the little guys into the club!

Absolutely right about Kaley Cuoco from the Big Bang Theory. Her combination of confusion, admiration and exasperation about the three nerd geniuses that surround her make Cuoco the perfect audience entrance point. Getting laughs despite the larger than life personalittes around her is hard work. The show’s hidden gem!

@Cara – Mike O’Malley (and yes, he’s fantastic!)

Absolutely agree – no one does comedy better than Jane Lynch!

I like both Colfer and O’Malley, maybe O’Malley hasn’t done enough epis but he has been great, probably in large part to do with the writing. I bet he’d be up for an Emmy if he were a b*stard of a father in a gritty cable show, but being a struggling, midwestern dad trying to do right by his motherless son is not worthy??

@cc
don’t get me wrong, i think (chris colfer and Mike O’Malley) there scenes are great…but they are more dramatic than comedic…

Fringe is not a comedy. John Noble IS mentioned in the drama category

I second that!
