-----
My personal choices for TV dramas thus far:
Big Love -- if this isn't nominated, then I'm boycotting
Breaking Bad
Damages
Lost
Mad Men
House will probably get in, but in my own opinion, I don't know what it would replace. Also, any one of Fringe, True Blood or Battlestar Galactica would be a very nice surprise
ER could get an honorary nomination. Grey's Anatomy will probably undeservedly sneak in. Jury's still out on #1 Ladies Detective Agency and new season of Rescue Me..
