The TV Chick

It’s that time again! Emmys are right around the corner, and I can’t wait! I’m very into award shows, and I am especially excited for this years nominees. Some of the awards were already given out at the Creative Arts Emmy Award Ceremony — including one for Betty White for hosting Saturday Night Live and one for Neil Patrick Harris for guest starring on Glee. I adore both of them, so I was happy to see them take home a statue. Below, I list the big category nominees. I will say who I think will win and who I want to win. Weigh in with your thoughts as well!

OUTSTANDING DRAMA
Lost
Breaking Bad
Dexter
Mad Men
True Blood
The Good Wife

This is a very tough category. I want Lost to win. I think The Good Wife might win.

OUTSTANDING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA
Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)
Mariska Hargitay (Special Victims Unit)
Glenn Close (Damages)
Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
January Jones (Mad Men)
Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights)

I think Julianna Margulies will win. I want her to win as well, but I love Kyra Sedgwick and Connie Britton.

OUTSTANDING ACTOR IN A DRAMA
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights)
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)
Hugh Laurie (House M.D.)
Michael C. Hall (Dexter)
Matthew Fox (Lost)

I think Jon Hamm will probably win. I enjoy Jon Hamm, but I want Michael C. Hall to win.

OUTSTANDING ACTOR IN A DRAMA
John Slattery (Mad Men)
Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad)
Martin Short (Damages)
Terry O’ Quinn (Lost)
Michael Emerson (Lost)
Andre Braugher (Men of a Certain Age)

I think Michael Emerson will win, and I want him to win as well.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA
Sharon Gless (Burn Notice)
Christine Baranski (The Good Wife)
Christina Hendricks (Mad Men)
Rose Byrne (Damages)
Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife)
Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men)

I think Archie Panjabi will win, and I want her to win as well.

OUTSTANDING COMEDY
Glee
Modern Family
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Nurse Jackie
30 Rock
The Office
Curb Your Enthusiasm

I think and want Glee to win. However, Modern Family is incredibly brilliant and I would be happy if it won.

OUTSTANDING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Lea Michele (Glee)
Tina Fey (30 Rock)
Toni Collette (The United States of Tara)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine)
Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie)
Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation)

I think Tina Fey will win (history tends to repeat itself). I want Lea Michele to win.

OUTSTANDING ACTOR IN A COMEDY
Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm)
Alec Baldwin (30 Rock)
Matthew Morrison (Glee)
Steve Carell (The Office)
Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory)
Tony Shalhoub (Monk)

This past season of The Office was pretty up and down, but I think Steve Carell to win. I would also be very happy if Matthew Morrison won.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY
Chris Colfer (Glee)
Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother)
Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family)
Jon Cryer (Two and A Half Men)
Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family)
Ty Burrell (Modern Family)

This is the toughest category EVER. Neil Patrick Harris already won an Emmy this time around (finally) so I’m inclined to say he won’t win. Generally, multiple nominees from the same show in the same category cancel each other out. Can they give the Emmy to Chris Colfer and Eric Stonestreet and Ty Burrell? Because that’s my hope. But I think Chris Colfer will edge them out, and he is very deserving.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
Jane Lynch (Glee)
Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live)
Jane Krakowski (30 Rock)
Julie Bowen (Modern Family)
Sofia Vergara (Modern Family)
Holland Taylor (Two and A Half Men)

I think Julie Bowen will win, and I want her or Sofia Vergara to take the statue home.

OUTSTANDING VARIETY, MUSIC, OR COMEDY SERIES
The Colbert Report
The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
Real Time With Bill Maher
Saturday Night Live
The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien

It could go to Conan, but I would guess The Daily Show will win.
