EMMY REDUX

The Emmy's is inevitably closer to date (yes, it's tomorrow) I'm here and back on the business to tell you who I think will win grinning like a schoolboy for winning the top prize!
So, are you game? If so, let us start with the drama section..

OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES

Breaking Bad
Dexter
Lost
Mad Men
The Good Wife
True Blood

Who will win? Mark my words: this will be third time in a row, it's either Mad Men or nothing. You don't just nominate Mad Men, you make them your champion. It's an Emmy rule.

Who should win? For starter, I think The Good Wife is off with a thrilling and addicting season. It's a plot that you can no longer not think about, it's compelling and very sympathetic for viewers. The disgraced politician's wife off to a rough yet surprising start, it's a very realistic moment.

The Dark Horse? Don't count it that much but Lost might 'steal' the trophy from Mad Men with its final season (despite a disappointing finale)

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Hugh Laurie, House
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
Matthew Fox, Lost
Michael C. Hall, Dexter

Who will win? With the wins in Golden Globe and Screen Actor Guild, it's a safe assumption to point out Michael C. Hall as a winner. However, it's Emmy's and they have different standards approaching winning criteria. Whatever it is, Michael C.Hall is still a front-runner

Who should win? I wouldn't be that biased but I can't help to vote for Hugh Laurie. I mean he's always amazing, yet he had this egregious snubs and I'm just too sick to watch him losing for another year.

Dark Horse? It's a three-peat for Bryan Cranston? Let's just say, keep your minds open to every possibility people!

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES

Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Glenn Close, Damages
January Jones, Mad Men
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Kyra Sedgwick, Closer
Mariska Hargitay, Law&Order:SVU

Who will win? I think it has been locked to Julianna Margulies. Her strong performance as the disgraced politician's wife brought the critics down on their knees. Shall I say, she already bagged half of the Emmy's statue.

Who should win? For the same reason, I believe Julianna Margulies should win this one. She's just affectionate towards the camera with her 'Poker' Face attitude and the despair of the harsh reality acting, she's the perfect winner

Dark Horse? I know, you don't count on it that much but Glenn Close may have her three-peat after all. If she just submitted the right episode for consideration that is

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad
Andre Braugher, Men of Certain Age
John Slattery, Mad Men
Martin Short, Damages
Michael Emerson, Lost
Terry O'Quinn, Lost

Who will win? Between Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn, I would put my money on O'Quinn for his staggeringly brilliant performance in the finale. Beside he's an Emmy's favorite! (not that I say Michael Emerson is not one)

Who should win? IDK, I can't decide, everyone has been so brilliant in this season I guess

Dark Horse? There's a certain possibility that Aaron Paul might snatch this one away!

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES
Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men
Christine Baranski, The Good Wife
Elizabeth Moss, Mad Men
Rose Bryne, Damages

Who will win? Lots of buzzes have been whispering to me, it's Christina Hendricks but I wouldn't count it that much since she has some heavy competitors, say, Christine Baranski is a powerful contender. At one of the Good Wife episode, she gave me chills even by not appearing in the screen, just plain her voice.

Who should win? It's Christine Baranski for the reason I gave you before

Dark Horse? There's a possibility for Rose Bryne to win with the outstanding Ellen's progress in the latest season of Damages

OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES
30 Rock
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Glee
Modern Family
Nurse Jackie
The Office

Who will win? I'm sorry gleeks, but the Emmy won't go that mainstream and give a statue for this year. Count on Modern Family to win this one with hilarious and formula based comedy, the gays, the plays, and the frays!

Who should win? It's enough to see how much of gleeks I am. Glee for the win!

Dark Horse? We seem to get so excited with new series that we completely forgot the big boss, 30 rock. Hey it's Tina Fey, she can be Ms Vice President, she can take the Emmy's home!

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm
Matthew Morrison, Glee
Steve Carrel, The Office
Tony Shalhoub, Monk

Who will win? It's Alec to the Baldwin. He has won this award ever since..the show started!

Who should win? I absolutely adore Jim Parsons in The Big Bang Theory. I think he's one piece of work! (in a good way)

Dark Horse? It's Steve Carrel's last season, who knows Emmy's might be just like us, not ready to let him go!

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Amy Poehler, Parks & Recreation
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Julie Louis-Dreyfus, The New Old Adventure of Christine
Lea Michelle, Glee
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Toni Colette, United States of Tara

Who will win? It's either Fey or Falco? it's the double F combination! As for previous year champ, she's not doing that well this season, at least not good enough to take home the Emmy's

Who should win? Usual stuff, Fey!

Dark Horse?
She's funny as hell and she's Amy Poelher!

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Chris Colfer, Glee
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
Jesse Tyler, Modern Family
Jon Cryer, Two and Half Men
Neil Patrick Harris, How I meet your mother
Ty Burrel, Modern Family

I WOULD SAY, Everything in the category belongs to Ty Burrel for his amazing performance in Modern Family as Phil Dunphy! I would be super pissed if he lost this one!

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Holland Taylor, Two and A Half Men
Jane Krawoski, 30 Rock
Jane Lynch, Glee
Julie Bowen, Modern Family
Kristen Wiig, Saturday Nights Live
Sofia Vegara, Modern Family

Who will win? It's either Jane Lynch or TV fans will be losing their temper. I mean very Kanye west like.

Who should win? For her portrayal as material girl, Jane Lynch deserves this!

Dark Horse? I wouldn't be blindsided and not consider the possibility of Julie Bowen is near to the end in this race.

So what do you say? Who do you think will win the top prize?
SPEAK UP :)
