Drama Series: Grey's Anatomy, ABC; House, Fox; The Sopranos, HBO; 24, Fox; The West Wing, NBC.
My Pick: I wonder which one of these series I'm going to pick. Obviously the Sopranos, despite being an off-season. I'll say I enjoyed the episode of Greys Anatomy I saw. Not enough to rent season after season of DVD to catch up.
Comedy Series: Arrested Development, Fox; Curb Your Enthusiasm, HBO; The Office, NBC; Scrubs, NBC; Two and a Half Men, CBS.
My Pick: This is my most conflicted category. I really like Scrubs and The Office, but my heart is with Arrested Development. What better way to say Fuck You Fox than by winning yet another Emmy.
Miniseries: Bleak House (Masterpiece Theatre), PBS; Elizabeth I, HBO; Into the West, TNT; Sleeper Cell, Showtime.
My Pick: Admittedly I only saw one of these mini-series, but Sleeper Cell was awesome. It was edge of your seat hearth thumping entertainment. Probably the best 10 hours of TV I saw last year.
Made-for-TV Movie: Flight 93, A&E; The Flight That Fought Back, Discovery Channel; The Girl in the Cafe, HBO; Mrs. Harris, HBO; Yesterday, HBO.
My Pick: I saw none... I could care less
Variety, Music or Comedy Series: The Colbert Report, Comedy Central; The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, Comedy Central; Late Night With Conan O'Brien, NBC; Late Show With David Letterman, CBS; Real Time With Bill Maher, HBO.
My Pick: Jon Stewart, with humorous though scathing remarks by host Conan O'Brien right afterwards. Luck 'o the Irish indeed.
Variety, Music or Comedy Special: 78th Annual Academy Awards, ABC; Bill Maher: I'm Swiss, HBO; George Carlin: Life Is Worth Losing, HBO; McCartney in St. Petersburg, A&E; The XX Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony, NBC.
My Pick: Don't care
Actor, Drama Series: Denis Leary, Rescue Me, FX Network; Peter Krause, Six Feet Under, HBO; Kiefer Sutherland, 24, Fox; Martin Sheen, The West Wing, NBC.
My pick: James Gandolfini, The Sopranos, HBO, what he's not nominated. Are the voters nuts? The Kevin Finnerty stuff in the early episodes was brilliant. Idiots.
Actress, Drama Series: Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer, TNT; Geena Davis, Commander in Chief, ABC; Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, NBC; Frances Conroy, Six Feet Under, HBO; Allison Janney, The West Wing, NBC.
My Pick: This is just pure bullshit, no Edie Falco. Did the voters not see any of the episodes when Tony was in the coma, and Carmella was tending to him. This was her best season by far. Didn't Commander-in-Chief get cancelled?
Also snubbed
Supporting Actor, Drama Series: William Shatner, Boston Legal, ABC; Oliver Platt, Huff, Showtime; Michael Imperioli, The Sopranos, HBO; Gregory Itzin, 24, Fox; Alan Alda, The West Wing, NBC.
My Pick: Imperiolli, though he wasn't nearly as good or relevant in this past seasons as he was in season five when he took home the Emmy.
Supporting Actress, Drama Series: Candice Bergen, Boston Legal, ABC; Sandra Oh, Grey's Anatomy, ABC; Chandra Wilson, Grey's Anatomy, ABC; Blythe Danner, Huff, Showtime; Jean Smart, 24, Fox.
My pick: Candace Bergen ...Really? I didn't even know she was on this show. How about someone from Big Love.
Actor, Comedy Series: Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm, HBO; Kevin James, The King of Queens, CBS; Tony Shalhoub, Monk, USA; Steve Carell, The Office, NBC; Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men, CBS.
My Pick: The King of Queens has gotten worse and worse as the years have gone on. I guess no one saw Arrested Development (really they didn't) because they would have seen Jason Bateman who was great and was the true star of his show, unlike my horse in this race Steve Carell - who is not the star of The Office
Actress, Comedy Series: Lisa Kudrow, The Comeback, HBO; Jane Kaczmarek, Malcolm in the Middle, Fox; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, The New Adventures of Old Christine, CBS; Stockard Channing, Out of Practice, CBS; Debra Messing, Will & Grace, NBC.
My pick: What is "Out of Practice"? I didn't know Malcolm in the Middle was still on the air, didn't The Comeback get cancelled because it was bad. I guess Lauren Graham - TV's favorite (but not Emmy Voters apparently) MILF - was not better than Debra "Lets phone it in for one more season" Messing.
