The Emmys air on FOX this Sunday evening. I'm looking forward to the fashions and, of course, the awards themselves. While I can't wait to watch, the Emmy's are actually my least favorite awards show of the major awards. But, alas, I always get sucked in and so here are my predictions...
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series: Apparently I don't like comedies seems as how the only show I've seen that has been nominated is 30 Rock. I guess I'm just a super serious person. So I'm going with Liz Lemon. I mean Tina Fey.
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: Again, the only one I watch is 30 Rock. I mean, yes, I've watched a few episodes of The Office, and I didn't find it funny. (On a side note, Zombie just came on. Gotta love the 90s.) I am voting for Alec Baldwin, who I would have voted for anyways even if I did watch the other shows.
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series: The Modern Family characters. They are both so great. Maybe I should just flip a coin. Heads: Julie Bowen. Tails: Sofia Vergara. Tails. Sofia is my prediction. But can I just add that I love that Kristen Wiig has been nominated for "various characters"?
(Brandon Flowers - Right Behind You. Love, love, love).
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series: Oh wow. All four of the men on Modern Family have been nominated. All are great. Although Mitchell drives me insane sometimes. So that narrows it down to three. This poses a problem (Lenny Kravitz - Rock and Roll is Dead). Don't be confused. I don't mean that Lenny Kravitz poses a problem. I mean that I have three options, but a coin only has two sides. So I guess I will just have to choose. Umm. We'll go with Phil. Whose real name is Ty Burrell.
Outstanding Comedy Series: Modern Family
Outstanding Lead Actress is a Drama Series: (The Killers - Losing Touch). This is hard. I love many of the actresses on this list while at the same time have a love/hate relationship with their characters. Peggy from Mad Men - I love that she doesn't take crap from the chauvinist pigs of the 1960s, but at the same time, why does she have to be so annoying. And get a better haircut, please. Mrs. Coach from FNL. I love her y'alls and the fact that she wants to try to get the kids out of the hell hole that is Dillon, TX. And now that I'm writing this, I realize that she doesn't really bother me that much. She didn't back down when crazy Luke's e-van mom came after her, and she didn't put up with Coach's crap. (Elvis Presley - Wooden Heart. We may have hit a snag in the playlist). Alicia Florrick - The Good Wife. It's great that you went back to work after being the homemaker and going through your husband's sex scandal. But seriously, Alicia. Make up your mind. Either give Peter a chance or divorce him. And am I crazy to be on Peter's side for their last fight? So Kalinda slept with Peter. Like Peter said, she wasn't Alicia's best friend when he slept with her. I'm just saying. I don't really know why the chick from The Killing was nominated, but she is giving gingers a voice, so I guess that is good. After typing all of this out, I guess I'm going to have to go with Connie Britton, although I know she's not going to win it. It will come down to Peggy or Alicia. (Bruce - No Surrender. Thanks Bruce, for coming through and saving the day).
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series: Here I am, scrolling through the nominees list and saying, Jon Hamm for sure. Then what happens? I scroll down a bit more and see Timothy Olyphant for Justified. I'm still going with Jon Hamm, but Olyphant is really fantastic as well. And you never know if that really weird looking guy will come out of no where (and by really weird looking guy, I mean the oddly hilarious Steve Buscemi).
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series: (Edgy cover of Who Wants to Live Forever). Christina Hendricks. CHRISTINA HENDRICKS!!!! Gingers of the world Unite! Christina, Christina, would you like to play the single mother to an angst-ridden, pre-adolescent ginger?
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series: I was thinking to myself that I really want the guy that plays Jesse in Breaking Bad to win, and then I realized that Breaking Bad hasn't been nominated in any of the categories. I then remembered that they were not eligible for any awards for some reason. It's a shame really. And now I've looked at the nominees. WTF? How am I supposed to choose? I thought the Lead Actress/Drama was a hard decision. I feel like you could just pull any one of these guys' name out of a hat, and that would be a fair assessment of the talent. Okay. Let's get serious. John Slattery. Obviously love him. Don't know much about Andre Braugher. Wolton Goggings - Gimmick guy from Justified! Who would have known that a criminal could be so charming. Peter Dinklage looks like a midget, so he's bound to be funny. Josh Charles. I think he's fabulous. He is just one part of a great love triangle on The Good Wife. And then you have Alan Cumming, who plays the brilliant Eli Gold. I'm narrowing it down to John Slattery and Alan Cumming, with my final vote to John Slattery.
And Finally (Because I don't care about mini-series/made for TV) Outstanding Drama Series: Mad Men.
