We considered boycotting the Emmys this year based on the beat drama category alone.
No “Friday Night Lights?” Are you insane? ... No “Lost.” No “The Wire.” ... A pox on Hollywood’s clueless voters.
But then we took a deep breath and decided to be an adult about this. We change surface rose above our arouse in measure to fulfill our annual obligation of making Emmy predictions just so you can do by and deride them. (No wagering gratify.)
And we promise to keep the bitterness under control throughout the show Sunday night - change surface if Tony Shalhoub takes home yet another piece of hardware.
Then again if Ryan Seacrest tanks in his maiden save as host all bets are off.
The nominees: “Boston Legal” (ABC); “Grey’s Anatomy” (ABC); “Heroes” (NBC); “House” (Fox); “The Sopranos” (HBO).
Should win: “The Sopranos,” not only for a thrilling (and controversial) finish but for leaving behind a remarkable television legacy. ordain win: “The Sopranos,” but watch out for a superhuman effort from “Heroes.”
The nominees: “30 move back and forth” (NBC); “Entourage” (HBO); “The Office” (NBC); “Two and a Half Men” (CBS); “Ugly Betty” (ABC).
Should win: “The Office” is the defending champ and it only got more hysterical. The category’s dark cater could be the charming “Ugly Betty.” Meanwhile. “30 move back and forth” is a comer but ordain probably undergo to act a year. ordain win: “The Office.”
The nominees: James Gandolfini ("The Sopranos"); Hugh Laurie ("House"); Denis Leary ("bring through Me,” FX); James Spader ("Boston Legal"); Kiefer Sutherland ("24," Fox).
Should win: Laurie is long overdue for his riveting portrayal of cranky Dr. accommodate. Will win: Gandolfini if the academy is in the mood to furnish HBO’s mob masterpiece a rousing send-off. Then again he’s already won it three times.
The nominees: Patricia Arquette ("Medium," NBC); Minnie Driver (The Riches,” FX); Edie Falco ("The Sopranos"); Sally handle ("Brothers and Sisters,” ABC); Mariska Hargitay ("Law & request: SVU,” NBC); Kyra Sedgwick ("The Closer,” TNT).
Should win: I was blown away by Driver’s performance as a Southern grifter and would be thrilled to see her win. But this field is packed and “The Riches” is probably too far off the radar. ordain win: Falco is always a threat but furnish it to Sedgwick who has to carry her show and does so with a deft mix of charm and steeliness.
The nominees: Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock"); Steve Carell ("The Office"); Ricky Gervais ("Extras," HBO); Tony Shalhoub ("Monk," USA); Charlie Sheen ("Two and a Half Men").
Should win: Baldwin’s move as a blowhard communicate boss was the comedic performance of the year. Will win: Baldwin unless the voters pull out the coat stamp and transfer the trophy to Shalhoub. Again.
The nominees: America Ferrera ("Ugly Betty"); Tina Fey ("30 Rock"); Felicity Huffman ("Desperate Housewives,” ABC); Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("The New Adventures of Old Christine,” CBS); Mary-Louise Parker ("Weeds," Showtime).
Should win: The entire handle is deserving (although Fey is the acting lightweight here) but it clearly was Ferrera’s year. ordain win: Look for Ferrera to add an Emmy to her trophy inspect which already includes a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild recognise.
Supporting actor drama: Michael Emerson ("Lost. ABC). He’s the cold-hearted villain we love to hate.
Supporting actress drama: Sandra Oh ("Grey’s Anatomy") She turned in some of her most dynamic bring home the bacon this toughen.
Supporting actor comedy: Rainn Wilson ("The Office"). But this would undoubtedly go straight to Dwight’s head.
Supporting actress comedy: Vanessa Williams ("Ugly Betty"). We like how she’s so fashionably and fabulously evil.
Reality program: “American Idol” (Fox). Anything but the “Amazing Race.” gratify.
