I'm thinking Series, Actor, Actress, Writing, Will Arnett in Guest Actor and Elaine Stritch in Guest Actress. It had such a strong year and I'm sure they have a lot of nominations coming their way. On the drama side, I have no clue. This could be the year Lost makes it back in. I'm expecting Mad Men and Boston Legal to do well in terms of nominations. For reality host, I'm not expecting a lot of competition based series hosts to make it in. I think that category will be filled by hosts that actually do something like the guy who hosts Survivorman. From reality competition bases series, I could imagine Phil Keoghan because the Academy loves The Amazing Race and Jeff Probst.

He has the same schtick every show - make fun of Simon. Probst has to come up with his own shit and hosting those challenges must be rough sometimes. He deserves it. I'm betting 1. Jeff Probst 2. Ryan Seacrest 3. Phil Keoghan - I like the Philiminator, but it won't be fair if he wins just for the show being TAR 4. Tom Bergeron 5. Heidi Klum Where's the love for the Amazonian goddess Cat Deeley?

Loves me some Koeghlan, but he's merely the maestro of the greatness that is TAR rather than the star ... as if one person could outshine the show itself. Lots more behind-the-scenes stuff, whereas Jeff "is" Survivor in many respects. Tina Fey has changed her submission to "Sandwich Day" ... bravo ... and "congratulations on your Emmy Ms. Fey". This airport scene is a classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxV_Rz67MWs&eurl=http://memles.wordpress.com/2008/06/17/60th-primetime-emmy-awards-preview-lead-actress-in-a-comedy-series/ (Hopefully I can link here; I've looked for rules on it, and also looked in FAQ on "how-to" embed YouTube ... to no avail.)

Her submission was the season finale of Old Christine, "One and a Half Men" and her performance is out of this world. I wish both of them could win.

Every episode (except maybe Jacks) kicked ass this season. Thank fuckin God that crap Sopranos is finally out of contention. I take it you play a lot of video games and LOST is one of the only dramas on television you've watched. Saying LOST should sweep when The Wire and Dexter are eligible is pretty sad. Best Drama Nominees If They Weren't Made By Old Fucktards But People That Actually Watch Television: Damages Dexter Mad Men Pushing Daisies (only network drama worth two shits) The Wire Best Comedy Under The Same Criteria: 30 Rock Entourage (diminishing returns to say the least but it didn't decline as much as It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) Flight Of The Conchords (totally off or on depending on the episode. When they're at their best, they're the best though, hence the nomination) The Office Scrubs Best Variety Show: Colbert Report Daily Show Late Night With Conan O'Brien Late Show With David Letterman Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson Best Reality Competition: The Amazing Race Big Brother (unfortunately critics wrote this summer series off after the first season and haven't watched since) Hell's Kitchen Project Runway Survivor Best Animated Series: The Boondocks King Of The Hill The Simpsons some kid show South Park

Chuck Battlestar Galactica into the fifth slot for dramas and replace Entourage in the comedy section with Pushing Daisies. Note that I have a fondness for Doctor Who as well but the Emmys are primarily around to reward American made series while the Brits have the BAFTAs.

Or will it be criminally overlooked for the 5th time? I'm going with the latter so I am not disappointed and outraged later. It's a damn shame Michael Williams was never nominated - Omar's one of the best characters ever written.

Boston Legal will probably sneak in and take the Tudors spot, but I just have a feeling about this one. Best Comedy 30 Rock Curb Your Enthusiasm The Office Pushing Daisies Samantha Who I'd love Flight of the Conchords and Chuck make the list, but I doubt they will. Entourage might push out Pushing Daisies. Ugly Betty might undeservedly squeeze past Samantha Who Best TV movie/mini-series/all performances and production elements John Adams John Adams John Adams John Adams John Adams

I don't see the Emmy voters changing their tune this year. There's no incentive for them to recognize The Wire. The show is done, and nominating it now only calls attention to the snubs of previous years. They are more likely to reward the trendier Mad Men instead. Also, season 5 of The Wire wasn't as universally praised by the critics as seasons 1-4. I will be pleasantly surprised if it picks up nominations, but I doubt it.

I've met plenty of people that regularly watch like thirty programs, all of them shitty. Same with those that call themselves movie buffs and only go see the blockbuster shit-fests every other week.

They are.... Comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm Entourage Family Guy Flight of the Conchords The Office Pushing Daisies 30 Rock Two and a Half Men Ugly Betty Weeds Drama Boston Legal Damages Dexter Friday Night Lights Grey's Anatomy House Lost Mad Men The Tudors The Wire I don't know what surprises me more that Family Guy is getting credit as an animated series or that Boston Legal is still on the air.
