Emmy Nominees: Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series


My predictions: 2/6, picking only Burrell and Hade

I bet on all the wrong horses in this race. That said, there were some pretty big surprises afoot. Who would have expected last year’s winner, Eric Stonestreet, to be snubbed when his other three costars - Ty Burrell (Modern Family), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), and Ed O’Neill (Modern Family) – all made the cut? And who thought Max Greenfield would be omitted along with anything else from his show? And to presume that Jason Bateman would be the lone acting nominee from “Arrested Development,” leaving Jeffrey Tambor and Will Arnett out in the cold? Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live) somehow got to stick around, and joining him were two unexpected but possible nominees. Adam Driver (Girls) is an interesting choice since his character was so detestable this season, and then there’s the wonderful Tony Hale (Veep), a truly terrific choice. So much for Nick Offerman, but I’m relatively happy.

Who should win? Hale
Who will win? No idea with this crew! Probably Burrell, but I’d love if it was Hale.
