The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, July 18th. Please refer to my Emmy musings for this category for a detailed analysis of the contenders, and, as always, chime in below in the comments with any thoughts of your own.
Last year’s nominees: Dylan Baker, Jeremy Davies, Ben Feldman, Michael J. Fox, Mark Margolis, Jason Ritter
The competition: Of last year’s nominees, Davies and Margolis did not appear on their shows this year, and Feldman has been promoted to the supporting category, where he is almost guaranteed not to be nominated. Of the remaining three, I suspect that Michael J. Fox (The Good Wife), who had storylines just as juicy as always this season will return. I’m not as confident about Dylan Baker (The Good Wife), who will likely be overshadowed by a more frequent recurring guest on his show, Nathan Lane (The Good Wife). Matthew Perry (The Good Wife) is a possibility too, though his snub last year doesn’t bode well. The same reasoning applies to Jason Ritter (Parenthood), who may find himself missing from the list thanks to costar and fellow Sarah Braverman love interest Ray Romano (Parenthood). On the “Mad Men” front, less front-and-center partners Harry Hamlin (Mad Men) and Robert Morse are possibilities. I think, however, that the remainder of the slate belongs to two FX shows. Among the plethora of “Justified” contenders, Mike O’Malley leads the pack, but watch out for Jim Beaver, Patton Oswalt, Raymond J. Barry, or Ron Eldard. Though it doesn’t have a positive Emmy history, I think two past Emmy faces, Jimmy Smits (Sons of Anarchy) and Walton Goggins (Sons of Anarchy) should help it break into the race.
The predicted nominees: Michael J. Fox, Walton Goggins, Nathan Lane, Mike O’Malley, Ray Romano, Jimmy Smits
The predicted winner: O’Malley
Next up: Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series
