Emmy Nominees: Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

My predictions: 4/5, missing Zeljko Ivanek for Blair Underwood

I’m absolutely shocked that Blair Underwood didn’t make it in, especially since costars Gabriel Byrne, Dianne Wiest, and Glynn Turman all did. It’s too bad, since he may never have a role like this one again. I wish I could be happier for Zeljko Ivanek, who I think deserved a nomination six years ago for his supporting work on “24”, but I just can’t get past his accent. Good for him, I suppose. His costar Ted Danson is also here, no surprise. Last year’s nominees William Shatner and Michael Emerson return, and John Slattery finally gets an Emmy nomination after floating around quite a number of shows the past few years.

Who should win? Emerson or Slattery
Who will win? I’d say that with Underwood gone, Emerson should have no problem winning, but watch out for that sneaky Ivanek! I still say Emerson.
