Emmy Nominees: Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series


My predictions: 3/5, picking David Duchovny and Larry David over Lee Pace and Charlie Sheen

I’m very upset about the omission of David Duchovny. He was terrific on his show and I thought with a Golden Globe win he could at least get nominated for an Emmy. It’s as if voters pretended “Californication” wasn’t even on, nominating it for just two awards (casting and cinematography, both deserved). It turns out I was wrong about Lee Pace not being nominated if his show wasn’t also nominated, but I think almost everyone was surprised by that. And I guess there’s no stopping Charlie Sheen. A lot of people thought Tony Shalhoub wouldn’t make the cut, and I know that he’s reviled almost as much as James Spader, but watching his show, I do think he deserves accolades, it would be nice to see someone else win for a change though, like maybe Alec Baldwin or Steve Carrell

Who should win? With Duchovny out of the picture, I’d be happy with either Baldwin or Carrell.
Who will win? It has to be either Baldwin or Carrell. Baldwin has one amazing scene and Carrell has a whole episode – my bet is Baldwin.

Just a callback to your prediction post, which i just read for this category, it broke my heart to see:

"I’d otherwise suspect the overrated Ted Radnor (How I Met Your Mother)"

I know you don't like HIMYM nearly as much as I do (clearly because your heart is made of stone) but cmon man thats not even his name! haha

when your supporting comedic actor post comes out to an undoubted NPH diss, I might just be disappointed enough to go as crazy as some of the other comment leavers on this blog. And on your Youtube videos. Oh yeah. I'm talking those crazy bastards on your Indiana Jones review crazy.

But i won't. Mostly because you still have my season 9 of The X-Files. haha. And I'm not crazy. Yet.

My bad. Quick typing. Combined the character and actor names. Won't happen again.
