My predictions: 3/5, picking Albert Brooks and Roger Bart over Justin Timberlake and Beau Bridges
So, even when “Weeds” gets nominated for the top award, it still can’t earn a place for its recurring male players (Martin Donovan and Matthew Modine previously, Albert Brooks and Demian Bichir this year). Instead, it’s three deserving “30 Rock” gents: Alan Alda, Jon Hamm, and Steve Martin, which is a real relief considering the males nominated from the show last year barely had a part. These three all did a terrific job and deserve their nominations. I haven’t seen the episode of “Saturday Night Live” that Justin Timberlake guests in, but I’m wary of mixing variety and series players in the same category. The last person here is really a filler nominee - Beau Bridges, who just nods and smiles as he conducts the plotline of his episode, serving as the only indication that “Desperate Housewives” is still on the air as far as Emmy voters are concerned.
Who should win? Martin or Hamm
Who will win? It might be Alan Alda, but I’ll go with Jon Hamm, especially since he may not win for his other nominated role.
