Full Emmy Predictions

Its the moment you've all waited a day for, Sam's Emmy predictions.

I'm not going to do every category but all the main ones (i.e. Not miniseries, TV movies etc.), I'll give the nominees and my guess as to who the potential winners are. So here goes...


Outstanding Comedy Series: Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, Scrubs, Two And A Half Men
Surely a win for Arrested Development with Curb having lost some of its lustre in Series 5 and Scrubs not quite up to the same standard. The Office stands as a dark horse but no chance in hell for Two And A Half Men. I hope.

Outstanding Drama Series: Grey's Anatomy, House, The Sopranos, 24, West Wing
Tough one to call here. Grey's will be edged out by 24 but either Sopranos or West Wing, at the end of their reigns, could deservedly win. No chance for House.

Lead Actor (Comedy): Steve Carell (The Office), Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Kevin James (King Of Queens), Tony Shalhoub (Monk), Charlie Sheen (Two And A Half Men)
Shalhoub tends to win all these awards but either David or Carell could well snatch it this year. James and Sheen (former deserving, latter ridiculous) won't win.

Lead Actress (Comedy): Stockard Channing (Out Of Practice), Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm In The Middle), Lisa Kudrow (The Comeback), Julia Louis Dreyfus (New Adventures Of Old Christine), Debra Messing (Will & Grace)
Messing must be the frontrunner for being the most consistently underrated thing in Will And Grace for years. But anyone could win this one with only Channing unlikely despite her excellent performance.

Lead Actor (Drama): Peter Krause (Six Feet Under), Denis Leary (Rescue Me), Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU), Martin Sheen (West Wing), Kiefer Sutherland (24)
Two way race between Sutherland and Sheen, the two TV heavyweights on show. Krause could well be one to watch but Meloni and Leary are both unlikely to win.

Lead Actress (Drama): Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under), Geena Davis (Commander In Chief), Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU), Alison Janney (West Wing), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
While the pure evil that is Davis could nick it, Janney should win for being hands down the best actress on TV for the last 7 series of The West Wing. I can't really see anyone else challenging.

Supporting Actor (Comedy): Will likely go to Will Arnett (Arrested Development) or Jeremy Piven (Entourage), both scene-stealers in their respective shows.

Supporting Actress (Comedy): Three horse race here between two favourites in Megan Mullally (Will & Grace) and Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) with Jaime Pressly (My Name Is Earl) in with a reasonable chance.

Supporting Actor (Drama): Quite an open race here but likely to go to either William Shatner (Boston Legal) or Alan Alda (West Wing).

Supporting Actress (Drama): Surely will go to Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy) for being the sole interesting part of that show. Only challenges from Candice Bergen (Boston Legal) and Blythe Danner (Huff)

Likelyhood will be that 24 will clean up in the Drama categories with only the West Wing to compete and Arrested Development to take home a few Comedy statuettes.

And thats it folks. I also predict Simpsons to win Best Animated and Into The West to sweep the boards for Miniseries categories. Let's see how it all pans out.
