Emmy Nominees: Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series

My predictions: 3/6, missing Durning, Morse, and Platt for Carradine and O’Toole

How did Peter O’Toole manage to get snubbed here? Maybe it was a case of a well-known and respected performer making it on name recognition alone and not having the episode or performance to back it up? In any case, I’m very saddened for Keith Carradine especially given that “Dexter” was able to get nominated for Best Drama Series. Good for Charles Durning, getting nominated at the end of his four-season-long turn as Tommy’s dad on “Rescue Me”. Robert Morse doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, given the success and popularity of “Mad Men”. I do like Oliver Platt, though I haven’t seen him on “Nip/Tuck”, but it’s good that he got nominated here especially since his work in the miniseries “The Bronx is Burning” was ignored. Stanley Tucci is doing well for himself, ensuring that “ER” continues to have a guest acting nomination year-to-year. I’m glad that Glynn Turman did make it in, especially after Blair Underwood’s shocking snub. And who
didn’t expect Robin Williams?

Who should win? I haven’t seen Platt or Tucci, so I’d go with Turman
Who will win? Probably Williams though maybe Turman
