Welcome to The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Nominations Game! It’s that time again kids. On Sunday, September 21 the Primetime Emmy Awards will be announced and I want to know what your Award predictions are! And since we have done this before, I will quickly explain. All you have to do is choose from the nomination list provided below and then post your choices. (It’s best to just quote this post and then edit.) Let’s see who can get the most correct! And if you don’t know which to choose just guess. The more answers you give the better the chance you have at winning. Entries will be taken until 7pm EST on the 21st. After the telecast, I will announce the winner! Good luck and happy guessing. I also wanted to remind all you television lovers that I will be starting the Primetime Emmy Award Discussion Thread on Friday, September 19. Be sure to stop by and let us know what you think of the hosts, the nominations and of course the winners. (And because this thread can get pretty crowded with entries I have to ask that you hold off discussing the show until the discussion thread is posted. Unfortunately the extra posts make it difficult to grade the winners. But if you would like for me to post the discussion thread earlier, please feel free to PM me. Thanks!) For more information about the nominations and the awards please visit the Official Website for The Primetime Emmy Awards. Award Nominations Please note: This is an edited nomination list. Due to the large number of categories and my limited sanity, I have removed some of the superfluous information from the nominations. I have also removed the producer and writer lists from several categories. This was done to make voting and grading easier. For a complete list of nominations please visit the Official Website.

I suck at this game, so I'll vote for the ones I want to see win! Outstanding Comedy Series Entourage • HBO People said they didn't like this season because of the Medellin plotline? I thought it was great. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia deserved a nomination as well. Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series Tina Fey as Liz Lemon • 30 Rock Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series Lee Pace as Ned • Pushing Daisies Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook • Pushing Daisies Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series Kevin Dillon as Johnny Drama • Entourage ...because I'm sick of Piven winning all the time. Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series Pushing Daisies • Pie-Lette • Barry Sonnenfeld, Director Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series Pushing Daisies • Pie-Lette • Bryan Fuller, Written By Outstanding Drama Series Dexter • Showtime Ay caramba, this one's impossible - both Lost and Dexter had phenomenal seasons, just about the best I've ever seen for any TV shows. I'll go with Dexter since Lost already won once, even tho I think this season is better than the season Lost won for. Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan • Dexter Yeah Hamm will win, but dammit Hall deserves it! There is no justice in the universe!!!! I'm tempted to break out the power tools. Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series Glenn Close as Patty Hewes • Damages One of the few instances where I agree with the option likely to win. Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series Michael Emerson as Ben • Lost The guys from Damages were also very good, but Emerson owns this catetory like Hall and Close own theirs. Slattery's nomination is odd - I would have gone for Vincent Kartheiser instead. Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series No idea. Why weren't the ladies of Mad Men and Big Love nominated? Those two shows alone could have provided five worthy nominees. Outstanding Directing For A Drama Series Mad Men • Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (Pilot) • Alan Taylor, Director The "style" categories like direction, costume design, etc are where Mad Men clearly dominates. Dexter wins for music, tho. Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series Mad Men • The Wheel • Matthew Weiner, Written By; Robin Veith, Written By Where the frak were Resistence is Futile from Dexter and The Constant, The Shape of Things to Come, and There's No Place Like Home from Lost? Outstanding Made For Television Movie Recount • HBO Outstanding Miniseries John Adams • HBO What a weird category. A couple lousy sci fi miniseries - Razzies nominations would be more appropriate - and Cranford, which was so saccharine and cutesy-poo I couldn't even get thru it. And I'm a girl! Outstanding Lead Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie Laura Linney as Abigail Adams • John Adams Outstanding Lead Actor In A Miniseries Or A Movie Paul Giamatti as John Adams • John Adams Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie Laura Dern as Katherine Harris • Recount Scary-funny performance, everyone should see Recount for Dern alone. Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Miniseries Or A Movie David Morse as George Washington • John Adams Very tough category. All the guys from John Adams were great and Leary, too. Outstanding Directing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Dramatic Special John Adams • HBO • Tom Hooper, Director I thought The Company was nominated last year? Too bad it's been so long, it's been forgotten. Outstanding Writing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Dramatic Special John Adams • Kirk Ellis, Written By Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series The Colbert Report • Comedy Central As a card-carrying member of the Colbert Nation, I can do no less. Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Special ??? Outstanding Individual Performance In A Variety Or Music Program Stephen Colbert, Host • The Colbert Report Outstanding Directing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy The Colbert Report • #4051 • Comedy Central • Jim Hoskinson, Director Outstanding Writing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Program The Colbert Report • Comedy Central Straight Colbert ticket. Outstanding Reality-Competition Program Project Runway • Bravo I hate reality TV, but I have to admit, it's not a bad thing when a show promotes creativity of any sort, even if it's making costumes for 300-pound drag queens. Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality - Competition Program Ugh, I refuse to even think about the nominees. Kill them all, chop them up, dump them in the ocean and give their trophy to Michael C. Hall.
Here's who I'd pick of the choices (and Lord knows I'd pick different choices): Outstanding Comedy Series Curb Your Enthusiasm • HBO Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Christine Campbell • The New Adventures Of Old Christine Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk • Monk Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series Amy Poehler, Performer • Saturday Night Live Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute • The Office Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series No clue. Didn't watch any of them. Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series Ditto. Outstanding Drama Series Lost • ABC Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House • House Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series Glenn Close as Patty Hewes • Damages Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series Michael Emerson as Ben • Lost Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series Don't watch any. Outstanding Directing For A Drama Series Damages • Pilot • Allen Coulter, Director Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series The Wire • 30 • David Simon, Teleplay By/Story By; Ed Burns, Story By Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series The Daily Show With Jon Stewart • Comedy Central Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Special George Carlin: It's Bad For Ya! • HBO Outstanding Individual Performance In A Variety Or Music Program Stephen Colbert, Host • The Colbert Report Outstanding Writing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Program The Daily Show With Jon Stewart • Comedy Central ******* Keep in mind, I won't even be watching the awards.

Interesting article about the significance of Mad Men winning (if it does). Of course, they could achieve the same goal with critically lauded Dexter - a mere 2M viewers. I'm willing to split the difference. Mad Men gets Best Drama, Michael C. Hall gets Best Dramatic Actor.
