1) ...I have HUGE doubts about this category since:<br /><br />1) it is one of the weakest and<br />2) apart from Carell, Baldwin and (probably) Monk, nobody has his ass safe.<br /><br />So:<br /><br />1. I feel inclined to say the same thing for Jim Parsons as I said for Simon Baker. On-going public popularity, show with excellent critics and rave about his performance: I say he is in, too.<br /><br />2. My quintessential doubt: what to make of David Duchovny? I'm counting him out again this year. I'm also thinking the same way about Kevin Connolly from Entourage.<br /><br />3. That leaves us with three newbies, Morrison, Jane and McHale, and two veterans, Sheen and David. And two spots to fill.<br /><br />And although I'd be inclined to say McHale because of his Emmy nominees' presentation (it's been 4 years since the presenters were not nominated) I'm saying Morrison. And between Sheen and David, I'll say Larry David. The scandals over Sheen's personal life will probably sent him out of their ballots (same with Piven and Heigl last year).<br /><br /><br />3. Just a left-of-the-field choice: and what if JAY HARRINGTON gets nominated? :D I'd be thrilled!<br /><br /><br />I hope to see Thomas Jane in the race next year, along with MATTHEW PERRY (!) and Joel McHale at some point.<br /><br />And you're right, Modern Family submitted the entire cast as supporting: you can see the Emmy ballots here: http://www.emmys.tv/sites/emmys.tv/files/performers.pdfJorge Rodrigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773926428295140628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310224605699723947.post-29126505230663054882010-06-16T16:19:09.833-04:002010-06-16T16:19:09.833-04:00I didn't consider that McHale is one of the pr...I didn't consider that McHale is one of the presenters, and most often that does lead to a nomination, though the famous example is Eric McCormack who didn't get nominated the year after he won. For the record, I prefer "The Big Bang Theory" to "Community" in a big way. I recognize that Parsons is very talented, and I'm fine with him getting nominated. Honestly, I'd be okay with McHale too, I guess. I just hate the show. I don't think Morrison necessarily deserves it, I just wish it could go to David Duchovny, or James Roday, or Zachary Levi.<br /><br />Regarding "Modern Family," Gold Derby has reported that the entire cast is supporting. O'Neill does make sense as a lead, but I don't know about Burrell. I think they'll all end up in supporting.<br /><br />And yes, Vergara being a presenter does bode very well for her.Movies with Abehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131694123939904629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310224605699723947.post-85851729552333677652010-06-16T15:58:01.608-04:002010-06-16T15:58:01.608-04:00Joel McHale is one of the presenters of the Emmy n...Joel McHale is one of the presenters of the Emmy nominations this year, which I think may bode well for him. It did for Jim Parsons and Chandra Wilson last year, and if you want better news, his presenting partner is Sofia Vergara (let's see if she gets nominated). As for Jim Parsons, I know you don't like The Big Bang Theory, but I really think he deserves to win. He's amazing as Sheldon, and he continues to surprise us with a character that could easily be one-note. And, between Baldwin and Carrell, I would rather it be Carrell because Baldwin wasn't as good as he's been in the last three years (he's still really good, but he already won, other people should).<br /><br />Also, Abe, have you considered the possibility of anyone from Modern Family submitting lead. If someone does, I think he should be considered. My guess would be Ed O'Neill, since he's the most known actorof that show, and the family patriarch, so they could put him lead, or maybe Ty Burrell. I think someone from that show should submit lead, to avoid votes being split in supporting.<br /><br />I actually think Matthew Morrison is a pretty decent actor and he impressed me a few times. He's not that funny, and he is a better singer than actor, but he's got some acting chops.Richter Scalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820925728032551527noreply@blogger.com
