The competition: Neil Patrick Harris’ ridiculous playboy (How I Met Your Mother), Denis Leary’s foul-mouthed strategist (Recount), Jeremy Piven’s dedicated agent (Entourage), Blair Underwood’s troubled pilot (In Treatment), and Tom Wilkinson’s Benjamin Franklin (John Adams).
For your information: This is Piven’s fifth straight nomination in this category, which is a big deal since this category combines nominees from four different television media. He won last year. In the past ten years, this award has gone to the star of a regular television series only three times: Piven in 2007, William Shatner for “Boston Legal” in 2004, and Robert Downey Jr. for “Ally McBeal” in 2001.
Who should win: Underwood
Who will win: I’m hoping voters will choose to recognize Underwood, but Wilkinson has just as good a shot
