About those Emmy nominations...
Emmy nominations were announced yesterday. Here are the major categories, along with my picks and predictions...
BEST DRAMA: Deadwood, Lost, 24, Six Feet Under, The West Wing. For me, it's a really tight race between Lost and 24, but I'd probably vote for 24, although I predict Lost. (And btw, I think House, Battlestar Galactica and Rescue Me were more worthy than The West Wing and Six Feet Under.)
BEST COMEDY: Arrested Development, Desperate Housewives, Everybody Loves Raymond, Scrubs, Will & Grace. Hands down, Arrested should win; sadly, Desperate will. (And The Venture Brothers deserved a nod far more than Will & Grace.)
LEAD ACTOR, DRAMA: Hank Azaria (Huff), Hugh Laurie (House), Ian McShane (Deadwood), James Spader (Boston Legal), Kiefer Sutherland (24). Probably the strongest category this year (even without Lost's Matthew Fox and Rescue Me's Dennis Leary, who were also deserving). I'm torn between Laurie and Sutherland, but I gotta give it to Laurie, who I think may actually win.
LEAD ACTRESS, DRAMA: Patricia Arquette (Medium), Glenn Close (The Shield), Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under), Jennifer Garner (Alias), Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU). I'm kinda ambivalent about this category, but I'll guess Close will win, and probably deserves to.
LEAD ACTOR, COMEDY: Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), Zach Braff (Scrubs), Eric McCormack (Will & Grace), Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond), Tony Shalhoub (Monk). Bow to the Bateman!
LEAD ACTRESS, COMEDY: Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives), Teri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives), Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond), Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle). I watch none of these shows, so I find it hard to care (although I do adore Ms. Hatcher).
SUPPORTING ACTOR, DRAMA: Alan Alda (The West Wing), Naveen Andrews (Lost), Terry O'Quinn (Lost), Oliver Platt (Huff), William Shatner (Boston Legal). O'Quinn's both my pick and prediction, though I think James Callus (Gaius Baltar on Battlestar Galactica) was robbed, as he consistently gave perhaps the single best performance on TV last season, period.
SUPPORTING ACTRESS, DRAMA: Stockard Channing (The West Wing), Tyne Daly (Judging Amy), Blythe Danner (Huff), Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy), CCH Pounder (The Shield). Most of these shows I don't watch, so more ambivalence (though I adore Channing).
SUPPORTING ACTOR, COMEDY: Peter Boyle (Everybody Loves Raymond), Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond), Sean Hayes (Will & Grace), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development). I'm really torn between Piven and Tambor, but there's no way Piven won't win.
SUPPORTING ACTRESS, COMEDY: Conchata Ferrell (Two and a Half Men), Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond), Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men), Jessica Walter (Arrested Development). Walter should and hopefully will win.
