Emmy Hopes

First of all, let me say these are not my predictions for who will win the Emmys this year. These are just who I like in each category.

Lead Actor Comedy -- Jim Parsons, Big Bang Theory. Alec Baldwin is great but always wins, and Steve Carrell is great too but the Office is winding down
Lead Actress Comedy -- Tina Fey, 30 Rock. I like Glee, but I just don't get enough of a lead vibe from Lea Michelle to warrant her nomination winning
Lead Actor Drama -- VERY tough call. I'm going with Hugh Laurie from House this year. I love Bryan Cranston's work on Breaking Bad, but he's won twice and this year felt a little less for me. Fox did some of his better work this year, but he won't win unless there's a big Lost sympathy push. Hugh Laurie has done a lot of particularly good work this year; I wonder what episode he submitted?
Lead Actress Drama -- ...who cares? Give it to January Jones because I'm sick of most of the others
Comedy series -- Glee. Love 30 Rock, but it doesn't have to win every year.
Drama series -- very tough call. I'll say Breaking Bad, though I wasn't as crazy about this season. Lost is being judged purely on the finale, I think, and it's the sort of thing voters like, so Lost might squeak in another win, but it will probably go to Mad Men again. ...I should really start watching Mad Men.
Lead Actor Miniseries -- Michael Sheen as Tony Blair, just because he does it so well.
Lead Actress Miniseries -- don't care in any way. It'll probably go to Claire Danes.
TV Movie -- don't care
Miniseries -- The Pacific. Thank God they didn't nominate that awful Prisoner remake
Reality competition -- Amazing Race. It always wins because it's the lesser of evils
Variety/Comedy show -- would love to see it go to Conan O'Brien's tonight show
Animated -- hope it doesn't go to South Park's big 2-parter with Mohammed. Otherwise don't care. Maybe Ricky Gervais Show

Art Direction multi-camera -- How I Met Your Mother
