Emmy Nominees: Best Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Made-for-TV Movie


My predictions: 1/5, picking only Tom Wilkinson

Wow, only “John Adams” and “Recount” here. David Morse, Stephen Dillane, and Tom Wilkinson get nominated for playing George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, respectively. I’m a bit surprised that Danny Huston isn’t here for his portrayal of Sam Adams. In any case, instead of John Hurt, who I predicted for “Recount”, we have Denis Leary and Bob Balaban, both good choices who do in fact provide good support in the film to their respective teams. No Alfred Molina (he should have submitted “As You Like It”) or Michael Keaton from “The Company”. I’m glad that Kevin Kline isn’t here, since he totally didn’t deserve that SAG win for “As You Like It”. I didn’t get far enough into “John Adams” to meet the characters nominated here, but overall it looks like a good list.

Who should win? Leary between him and Balaban
Who will win? Wilkinson
