Emmy Race Update: Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

I am in the process of updating all my Emmy predictions due to the continuously leaking top 10 lists. For the moment, I will only post categories which have been substantially affected, in my eyes, by some or all of the revised contenders. I have made a quick change to my predictions for the Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series category. The top 10 finalists that have been confirmed thus far are as follows:

RICKY GERVAIS, EXTRAS
TONY SHALHOUB, MONK
JASON LEE, MY NAME IS EARL
STEVE CARRELL, THE OFFICE
ALEC BALDWIN, 30 ROCK
CHARLIE SHEEN, TWO AND A HALF MEN

So, in light of this, and the general surprise seeming popularity of "Extras", I am dropping Kevin Connolly for Gervais. Rounding out the top 10, in this order: Kevin Connolly, Charlie Sheen, James Roday (Psych), Jason Lee, and Kevin James. So, my new predictions:

RICKY GERVAIS, EXTRAS
TONY SHALHOUB, MONK
STEVE CARRELL, THE OFFICE
ZACH BRAFF, SCRUBS

ALEC BALDWIN, 30 ROCK

More news to come.
