Last year’s nominees: Bryan Cranston, Steve Buscemi, Michael C. Hall, Damian Lewis, Michael C. Hall
Emmy nominees: Bryan Cranston, Jeff Daniels, Jon Hamm, Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Spacey
Semi-finalists: Michael Ealy (Almost Human), Antony Starr (Banshee), Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice), Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels), Robert Taylor (Longmire), Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex), Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom), Peter Krause (Parenthood), Michael Emerson (Person of Interest), Jason Mamoa (The Red Road)
Finalists: Timothy Olyphant (Justified) was equally perplexed, amused, and calm dealing with the latest ludicrous criminals to come through Kentucky. William H. Macy (Shameless) became even more impossibly depraved than ever before and made some surprising unintentionally sincere connections. Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) saw his life implode, desperately trying to retain control of a situation far beyond his grasp. Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary) became more solitary as his dependable companion drifted away yet remained just as brilliantly compelling. Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) turned a laughable screwup into a complicated and unexpectedly endearing protagonist.
The nominees:
Demian Bichir (The Bridge) imbued his Mexican detective with a humor and humanity that was just as strong as his incorruptible nature. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) finished up a masterful six-season long turn with just as much commitment as he had from day one. Jon Hamm (Mad Men) was at his most fascinating when Don didn’t have enough to do, forced to adjust to a workplace where he wasn’t the one in charge. Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) hammed it up in the most marvelous fashion as the ladder-climbing politician whose intentions were never pure or kind.
The winner:
Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan) inhabited his role completely, becoming a fixer skilled at cleaning up other people’s messes but unable to keep his own life in order.
