Emmy Nominees: Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

My predictions: 4/5, missing Gervais for Zach Braff.
My ballot: 3/5 Shalhoub, Carrell & Baldwin

The only real shock here is Ricky Gervais whose understated performance as disgruntled extra Andy Millman on "Extras" seems to have made the cut. Too bad for Zach Braff, who wisely chose the musical episode and so deserved this award for the first two seasons of "Scrubs." The rest is business as usual, Charlie Sheen (who I never thought would actually be an Emmy nominee), Steve Carrell, Tony Shalhoub, and the fantastic Alec Baldwin.

Who will win? As much as I enjoyed Gervais' Golden Globe win for "The Office" a few years ago, this had better go to either Baldwin or Carrell, I do not personally care which since they both deserve it. Carrell actually has the edge with his episode, "Business School".
