Outstanding Lead Actor in Drama Category
#1 Michael C. Hall in Dexter
C. Hall has projected an early prediction of winning the prize. Looking from the past months, C.Hall has snagged not only Golden Globe but also Screen Actor Guild award, making him a strong contender in ending Bryan Cranston's reign. Last season of Dexter has been on its best, adding with murder and emotional breakdown of Dexter, it's hard to get through C.Hall's skin for this year.
Status: Very Strong (4 out of 5)
#2 Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad
Here, we're talking about two times champion which makes it a safe bet to assume that he's gonna walk away with this one. I'm not a huge fan of Breaking Bad, however I have to admit that Cranston showed a lot of brilliance and poignant in his character.
Status: Very Strong (4 out of 5)
#3 Hugh Laurie in House M.D
Hugh Laurie has always been the person that we're rooting for to win. Too bad, Emmy hasn't realized that Dr.Cranky Pants is nothing but genius in portraying this Sherlock Holmes resemble character. Laurie started the season with strong, compelling performance and ended with a stunning and every humanly as possible. It's hard to imagine Laurie losing this one again. Thus, let's root Laurie for another year!
Status: Strong, everyone's favorite (3.5 out of 5)
#4 Jon Hamm in Mad Men
Like any other, Hamm is an always present in nominee with his critically praised series, Mad Men. However, the chances of him taking the top prize is doubtful. Hamm in Mad Men is attractive at first, but can be boring after a while. It's not that Hamm is a bad actor but Don Drapper is just another of your cowboy casanova in a tux.
Status: Modest (2.5 out of 5)
#5 Matthew Fox in Lost
The newest one to join after 6 years of wait. No offense, the reason that Fox got into this place is that Lost was in its final season. They want to give a proper goodbye, that's all. Yes, Jack can be elusive sometimes, but yet, it's not all Fox's work. The finale was supposed to be epic for him, but..it's just rather disappointing to me, and possibly for the critics.
Status: Low (2 out of 5)
#6 Kyle Chandler in Friday Night Lights
Some of the people keep buzzing about Chandler's outstanding performance. Personally, I couldn't give further comment without watching cause that would be unfair. However, with these powerful gentlemen leading the pack, it would be hard for Chandler to pull an upset.

Outstanding Lead Actress in Drama Category
#1 Julianna Margulies in The Good Wife
or 2 years, Glenn Close has created her reign, where everyone's possibility of winning would be close to zero point. However, this year, a not so newcomer in Emmy (Margulies has won Emmy for her work in E.R) is most likely to pull an upset. Margulies appeared in critically praised and highly rated show, The Good Wife. Margulies portraying the struggle of the disgraced politician wife, that was coming back to her work as a litigator. The performance not only strong but also compelling yet contemplative to some of the viewers. Margulies created such a character that everyone is rooting for and wanting to know what's gonna happen next. This girl is the right one to end Close's two year reign.
Status: Set Locked (5 out of 5)
#2 Glenn Close in Damages
You can't ignore such a strong performance from Close who is now in her 3rd season of Damages. The Tobin case is powerful, critically praised, and of course put the spotlight back on Close. However, with Margulies present, it will be hard for Close to dominate this year Emmy. If it wasn't for Margulies' outstanding performance, I would say that Close got this one wrapped around under her finger.
Status: Strong but Careful For Margulies (4 out of 5)
#3 Kyra Sedgwick in The Closer
This one I can say it's a bit overdue. Sedgwick has been in the nomination for the last 5 or 6 years! This is an example of a constant outstanding work from Sedgwick. She has never done better but never done worse. She's always a favor in the nomination but not enough to take down the others especially with the heavy competition between Close and Margulies.
Status: Modest (3 out of 5)
#4 Connie Britton in Friday Night Lights
Once again a newcomer in this category but a favorite of the viewers. I haven't watched her performance but I can say she got a lot of good reviews to back her up.
Status: Modest (3 out of 5)
#5 January Jones in Mad Men
I'm sorry, I don't get it why she's nominated. Yes, Betty went through a lot of change this season but it's not good enough for Jones to be nominated. Her character is not the strongest one and yet it's not the likeable one too.
Status: Low (2 out of 5)
#6 Mariska Hargitay in Law and Order:SVU
We thought that she wouldn't get nominated for this year, but in fact she is. Like I said, it's about the safe bet. Her spot should've been filled with outstanding performance from Ellen Pompeo or Emily Deschanel that have given quite stuns this season.
