Emmy Rehash

Drama Series
Prediction:
"Mad Men"
Winner: "Mad Men"
(Completely deserved. Exemplary cast. Exquisite writing.)

Comedy Series
Prediction:
"Entourage"
Winner: "30 Rock"
(As previously stated, NBC is a fourth place network. Rewarding their stupidity, will not improve them. Entourage is television’s most underrated. They should have won.)

Reality-Competition Program
Prediction:
"The Amazing Race"
Winner: "The Amazing Race"
(Their sixth consecutive award. Very impressive.)

Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Prediction:
James Spader "Boston Legal"
Winner: Bryan Cranston "Breaking Bad"
(Completely stunning. Does Breaking Bad have viewers?)

Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Prediction:
John Slattery "Mad Men"
Winner: Zeljko Ivanek "Damages"
(Obviously, emerging networks can win.)

Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Prediction:
Steve Carell "The Office"
Winner: Alec Baldwin "30 Rock"
(Does character count? Baldwin is offensive, repugnant, and vile. He should never win. He should never enjoy employment.)

Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Prediction:
Jeremy Piven "Entourage"
Winner: Jeremy Piven "Entourage"
(As previously stated, television’s greatest character.)

Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Prediction:
Holly Hunter "Saving Grace"
Winner: Glenn Close "Damages"
(The evening’s second deepest category. Close is a phenomenal actress.)

Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Prediction:
Rachel Griffiths "Brothers & Sisters"
Winner: Dianne Wiest "In Treatment"
(Another shocker. With that stated, Wiest is completely deserving. On Law & Order, she sparkled. On HBO’s newest gem, she is a cornerstone.)

Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Prediction:
Christina Applegate "Samantha Who"
Winner: Tina Fey "30 Rock"
(Fey merits every recognition. Despite her apocryphal castmates, she is genius.)

Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Prediction:
Vanessa Williams "Ugly Betty"
Winner: Jean Smart "Samantha Who"
(Slightly surprising. However, this program is stellar.)

Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie
Prediction:
Kevin Spacey "Recount"
Winner: Paul Giamatti "John Adams"
(This evening’s deepest category. Both Giamatti and Spacey were outstanding. Giamatti’s exposure was greater.)

Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie
Prediction:
Laura Linney "John Adams"
Winner: Laura Linney "John Adams"
(Linney is Hollywood’s most versatile.)
