Emmy Nominees: Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series


My predictions: 5/6, picking Jon Cryer over Bateman

I’m both happy and surprised with my misstep here: Jon Cryer is finally not nominated, and Jason Bateman (Arrested Development) is. He is, however, the lone nominee from his show, since the other four I predicted were snubbed. It’s beyond interesting to see that. The rest of the category is strong, welcoming back Matt LeBlanc (Episodes) after a year off the air for a year, and permitting Don Cheadle (House of Lies) the chance to stick around for his efforts on his show. Louis C.K. (Louie) finally netted his show a Best Comedy Series nomination, while Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) and Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) saw strong showings for their series as well. No Jake Johnson or Adam Scott, but oh well.

Who should win? I’d go with LeBlanc or Cheadle
Who will win? I assume it will be Baldwin, Bateman, or C.K.
