SAG Nominees: Best Ensemble in a Drama Series

My predictions: 3/5, missing "The Good Wife" and "True Blood"
Who’s missing: “House,” “Breaking Bad

With the departure of “Boston Legal,” a slot is open, and it goes to a fall network freshman series, which is quite rare in this category. I suppose that the ensemble of The Good Wife is probably the strongest part of the show, so it’s a decent inclusion. Though I didn’t predict that the cast of “House” would be omitted, I picked “Breaking Bad” to take over a slot. It turns out I had the wrong now-sophomore show that was shut out last year, and I’m so delighted by my error. True Blood has one of the most exciting and diverse ensembles on television, and it’s really cool that it got nominated here. Both The Closer and Dexter are back from last year, which is great, and then there’s last year’s winner and the likely choice by most for the best ensemble on television, the cast of Mad Men.

Who could win? Probably a repeat for Mad Men.
