SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Michael Emerson, Lost
Michael Imperioli, The Sopranos
T.R. Knight, Grey's Anatomy
Terry O'Quinn, Lost
Masi Oka, Heroes
William Shatner, Boston Legal
I'd give it to: MICHAEL EMERSON
This (along with Lead Actress, Comedy) is perhaps the strongest field. Imperioli, O'Quinn, and Oka are all more than deserving, but my pick would be Emerson, who plays creepy, vulnerable, manipulative mastermind better than anyone.
SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES
Lorraine Bracco, The Sopranos
Rachel Griffiths, Brothers & Sisters
Katherine Heigl, Grey's Anatomy
Sandra Oh, Grey's Anatomy
Aida Turturro, The Sopranos
Chandra Wilson, Grey's Anatomy
I'd give it to: RACHEL GRIFFITHS
This has to be the weakest field, by far. As great as The Sopranos was this year, it wasn't so much due to Bracco and Turturro, and even the Grey's cast admits it was a down season for that show. That leaves us with Griffiths, who, like Field, rises above some of the material that is written for her.
COMEDY SERIES
Entourage
The Office
30 Rock
Two and a Half Men
Ugly Betty
I'd give it to: THE OFFICE
Yes, 30 Rock improved immensely during the course of the season, and Ugly Betty was a campy pleasure, but The Office still made me laugh out loud more than either of them. Remember what I said about killing myself if Boston Legal wins Best Drama? Same deal with the vastly overrated Entourage here.
