Emmy Nominees: Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series


My predictions: 2/6, picking only Michael J. Fox and Nathan Lane

I suppose it was too much to hope that any one of the excellent guest stars on an FX show this year would actually be recognized. I don’t watch “Scandal” anymore, so I can’t comment at the moment on Dan Bucatinsky’s nomination. In fact, the other five are all good choices - Michael J. Fox (The Good Wife) was as good as ever, Nathan Lane (The Good Wife) deserves this nod much more than the one in the comedy guest race, Robert Morse (Mad Men) is terrific in small doses, Harry Hamlin (Mad Men) was fantastic all season, and Rupert Friend (Homeland) was great too. So I’m disappointed by the omissions, but the category is actually rather strong.

Who should win? Hamlin, though Friend or Lane would be good too
Who will win? I think Lane or Hamlin will take it.
