Emmy’s tonight: Let’s chat
I’ll be blogging the Emmys live right here, and we’re talking really live, starting at about 5 p.m. on the West Coast and 8 p.m. for the rest of you, since the West Coast event is tape-delayed for us. Come and join in the commenting. We’ll mock at will.
So here’s a quick list of the major categories, with our choice for who should win. And we’re not hedging with that silly who-will-win, who-should-win, who-could-win stuff that allows you to have three chances to get it right.
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”
Great field, but Parker lit up the screen this season.
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”
They’re all winners in our book, but this is Falco’s year.
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”
Love them all, but have to go with Alec Baldwin.
Lead Actor
in a Drama Series
James Spader, “Boston Legal”
Hugh Laurie, “House”
Denis Leary, “Rescue Me”
James Gandolfini, “The Sopranos”
Kiefer Sutherland, “24”
Anyone other than Gandolfini? Fuggedaboutit.
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”
We’ve got to go with Perkins, although Taylor and Ferrell are our sentimental favorites.
Supporting Actress
in a Drama Series
Rachel Griffiths, “Brothers & Sisters”
Katherine Heigl, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Chandra Wilson, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Sandra Oh, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Aida Turturro, “The Sopranos”
Lorraine Bracco, “The Sopranos”
All strong performances, but Wilson stands out.
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”
You’ve got to go with Wilson, if only for the bat episode.
Supporting Actor
in a Drama Series
William Shatner, “Boston Legal”
T.R. Knight, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Masi Oka, “Heroes”
Michael Emerson, “Lost”
Terry O’Quinn, “Lost”
Michael Imperioli, “The Sopranos”
Oka was the break-out star of the year, but Imperioli did some of his best work this season and deserves the Emmy.
Outstanding Comedy
“Entourage”
“The Office”
“30 Rock”
“Two and a Half Men”
“Ugly Betty”
No contest: “The Office.”
Outstanding Drama
“Boston Legal”
“Grey’s Anatomy”
