emmy winners
What to watch: A “30 Rock” victory will make it four in a row. [1]
Breakdown: I haven’t stopped believin’ in “Glee,” but I’m not convinced the show plays to Emmy voters’ demographics. [2]
Nominees: “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Glee,” “Modern Family,” “Nurse Jackie,” “The Office,” “30 Rock.” [1]
The only other comedy to do that was “Frasier.” [...] It would be sweet justice if Conan O’Brien went home Sunday night with a couple of Emmys - a slap in the jaw to Jay Leno and NBC, who sabotaged his version of “The Tonight Show” after just eight months on the air. [2]
Breakdown: Collette is the reigning champ, but look for Falco to take the title from her Showtime colleague. [1]
What to watch: A win by former “Sopranos” star Falco will make her only the second performer to be honored for both comedy and drama in a lead category. [2]
“Daily Show” has come out on top in the variety category for seven straight years and while I’d personally cast my vote to the riskier and rewarding “Real Time,” there’s good reason to believe Stewart will do it again. [...] Breakdown: Sedgwick is due, but Margulies was as good as it gets. [...] Breakdown: Past winners Baldwin and Shalhoub will put up a fight, but my money’s on Parsons, who earned more “nerd love” than the entire cast of “Glee.” [1]
Nominees: Kyle Chandler, “Friday Night Lights”; Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad”; Matthew Fox, “Lost”; Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”; Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”; Hugh Laurie, “House.” [...] Nominees: Connie Britton, “Friday Night Lights”; Glenn Close, “Damages”: Mariska Hargitay, “Law & Order: SVU”; January Jones, “Mad Men”; Julianna Margulies, “The Good Wife”; Kyra Sedgwick, “The Closer.” [...] Breakdown: “Dexter” had a killer year, but it’s too violent for many to swallow. [2]
Nominees: Edie Falco, “Nurse Jackie”; Toni Collette, “United States of Tara”; Tina Fey, “30 Rock”; Amy Poehler, “Parks & Recreation”; Lea Michele, “Glee”; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Old Christine.” [...] Nominees: Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”; Steve Carell, “The Office”; Larry David, “Curb”; Matthew Morrison, “Glee”; Jim Parsons, “The Big Bang Theory”; Tony Shalhoub, “Monk.” [1]
