Emmy Nominees: Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

My predictions: 3/5, missing Jon Cryer and Kevin Dillon for John Krasinski and Jack McBrayer.

Why must John Krasinski be continually snubbed? He’s now put in four seasons of terrific work on “The Office” and has zero awards nominations to show for it. I was hoping for some new blood in this category, but instead we’re treated to the exact same lineup as last year, something which I think happens extremely rarely in any of the categories. I have no problem with Kevin Dillon, who I probably should have put in my predictions when I realized how good his episode submission was, but I don’t think he’s deserving of a spot. He’s good, but in a very crowded field, he’s not one of the best. His costar Jeremy Piven is, and it’s good that he’s here, along with Rainn Wilson from “The Office”. I’m okay with Neil Patrick Harris, who’s currently entertaining me on “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, though I’d rather see other faces here. And why does Jon Cryer keep getting nominated? Enough already. New blood! John Krasinski! Jack McBrayer! Chi McBride! Michael Urie! Hey, maybe even John C. McGinley next year for what should be the final season of “Scrubs”! He’s only had it coming for eight years.

Who should win? Piven or Wilson
Who will win? While Piven could easily scoop up yet another trophy, I’m tempted to say that Harris or Wilson has a shot. For the moment, I’m thinking Wilson.
