Even if you don't like the character of Jack, Fox is the star of Lost and does a damn good job at it. I'm definitely surprised Jonathan Rhys Myers and Bill Paxton are missing too. I'm so sick of Boston Legal and Spader and Shatner getting noms. FUCK the Emmys!!

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers gets lambasted by the critics for his wooden performance. I would have been surprised if he HAD been seriously considered for a nomination.

And Jonathan Rys-Meyers is as wooden as Tudor furniture, however he's a 'movie star' so I thought that might account for something. From the useless category of 'guest actress'. But lots of 30 Rock appearances! TOP 11 SEMIFINALISTS: GUEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES Polly Bergen, "Desperate Housewives" ("Distant Past") Edie Falco, "30 Rock" ("Episode 210") Vivica A.

Charlie Sheen, "Two and a Half Men" ("Is There a Mrs. Waffles?") IMPOSSIBLE Kelsey Grammer, "Back to You" ("Pilot") POSSIBLE Zach Braff, "Scrubs" ("My Princess") Jermaine Clement, "Flight of the Conchords" ("Sally Returns") Kevin Connolly, "Entourage" ("Malibooty") Johnny Galecki, "The Big Bang Theory" ("The Hamburger Postulate") Brad Garrett, "'Til Death" ("Swimming with Starks") Adrian Grenier, "Entourage" ("Adios Amigos") Jason Lee, "My Name Is Earl" ("Bad Earl") Bret McKenzie, "Flight of the Conchords" ("Girlfriends") Jim Parsons, "Big Bang Theory" ("The Pancake Batter Anomaly") Josh Radnor, "How I Met Your Mother" ("Ten Sessions")

Williams (freakin' Omar)). Still it's a good list with 11 semifinalists, making it possible and likely to have 6 finalists this year. Only locks I see are Ted Danson, Michael Emerson, Shatner and possibly Underwood (his tape was excellent). I haven't see Mad Men yet but he may be a lock as well. BEST SUPPORTING DRAMA ACTOR Naveen Andrews, "Lost" ("The Economist") Bruce Dern, "Big Love" ("Good Guys and Bad Guys") Christian Clemenson, "Boston Legal" ("Roe vs. Wade, The Musical") Ted Danson, "Damages" ("Jesus, Mary and Joe Cocker") Michael Emerson, "Lost" ("The Shape of Things to Come") Zeljko Ivanek, "Damages" ("I Hate These People") T.R. Knight, "Grey's Anatomy" ("Freedom, Parts 1 & 2") William Shatner, "Boston Legal" ("Mad About You") John Slattery, "Mad Men" ( "Long Weekend") Blair Underwood, "In Treatment" ("Alex: Week 6") Jake Weber, "Medium" ("Wicked Game, Part 1") YAY Hands!!! Hope he makes it I love shatner and would be happy with him winning too but Christian is great too!!

It was Yunjin Kim who was robbed this season. Hopefully we can still see Jonathan Rhys Myers in a tux... Last Edited By: managerr 07/02/08 8:06 PM. Edited 1 times.

I could understand season 1, it was good but nothing great, but Season 2 was absolutely fuckin wonderful. Is it because it aired during last summer crossing the border between the 06-07 and the 07-08 seasons?

I'm too familair with how the process works but I don' recall them ever naming off that many nominees during the award show.

This business of leaking the proposed top ten is new this year, I think. Any word on best supporting comedic actress list yet?

Posts: 505 (07/03/08 12:02 AM) I don't get most of the jokes Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I'm pleased to see the Pushing Daisies love. I hope to see Kristin Chenoweth on the list of Supporting Actress in a Comedy. I agree with the Piranhahaha; WTF at Josh Radnor as lead and NPH as supporting? Whatever, as long as HIMYM gets some recognition I'll be happy.

TOP 10 FINALISTS: SUPPORTING COMEDY ACTRESS Kristin Chenoweth, "Pushing Daisies" ("Girth") Conchata Ferrell, "Two and a Half Men" ("Fish in a Drawer") Jenna Fischer, "The Office" ("Fun Run") Jane Krakowski, "30 Rock" ("The Collection") Judith Light, "Ugly Betty" ("I See Me, ICU") Elizabeth Perkins, "Weeds" ("Risk") Amy Poehler, "Saturday Night Live" ("Tina Fey") Jean Smart, "Samantha Who? ("The Girlfriend") Holland Taylor, "Two and a Half Men" ("Media Room Slash Dungeon") Vanessa Williams, "Ugly Betty" ("Bananas for Betty") Amy Poehler is eligible because they changed the rules so that variety show actors can compete in this category. Of course there's no Kristen Wiig though! But otherwise -- a great category.
