Early Emmy Predictions: Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Contenders are listed in the order I think they’re likely to get nominated. The first ten represent my predictions for the top ten run-off, with the first five as my predictions for the eventual nominees.
This race is pretty much the simplest of the bunch to predict. The top ten is almost entirely locked up, though I’d hope that one of the “Flight of the Conchords” men can get in and replace either Kelsey Grammer or Jason Lee, and I know that fans of “The Big Bang Theory” really love Jim Parsons. Otherwise, Alec Baldwin, Steve Carrell, and Tony Shalhoub are all but guaranteed and Larry David should be fine. The only real question is whether voters will wisely choose David Duchovny instead of the evidently terrible Charlie Sheen. And then there’s always the chance that Lee Pace could break through if “Pushing Daisies” is embraced by voters. I'd love to see James Roday from "Psych" break through, but I'm not that optimistic. One important thing to note: Steve Carrell chose quite an unfortunate submission (“Branch Wars”) where he isn’t showy at all. I can’t imagine he’ll be snubbed, but this one is definitely going to…
Current predicted winner: ...Alec Baldwin (go here to see why)
