2010 Primetime Emmy Predictions

My scorecard. 1 & 2 as most likely and second most likely to win; asterisk denotes who I think deserves it!


Drama Series
* Breaking Bad
Dexter
2. The Good Wife
Lost
1. Mad Men
True Blood

The Good Wife is a strong network contender, but I don't think it can stand up to AMC's crown jewel; but as always, I'm rooting for BB.


Comedy Series
Curb Your Enthusiasm
2. Glee
* 1. Modern Family
Nurse Jackie
The Office
30 Rock

Glee and Modern Family are critic and Emmy voter favorites, but MF is more consistent; however, this is really Glee's time to snag a Best because I predict a sophomore slump (and maybe worse) for the uneven show.


Actor in a Drama
2. Bryan Cranston
Michael C. Hall
Kyle Chandler
* 1. Hugh Laurie
Matthew Fox
Jon Hamm

Hamm can wait his turn, he'll be in this race for a while; Cranston only if voters get lazy, though he was brilliant this season; Laurie deserves it for his showcase in the season opener, Broken -- six seasons of House and still no Emmy.


Actress in a Drama
Kyra Sedgwick
Glenn Close
Connie Britton
Julianna Margulies
Mariska Hargitay
January Jones

I honestly can't say -- I don't watch any of these shows except Mad Men!


Actor in a Comedy
2. Jim Parsons
Larry David
Matthew Morrison
* 1. Tony Shalhoub
Steve Carrell
Alec Baldwin

Shalhoub will win for Monk's final season; Parsons might upset -- he and the BBT have surged in popularity this past year; Morrison shouldn't have been nominated, frankly; Baldwin has won once too many; Carrell will win next year for his final season.


Actress in a Comedy
Lea Michele
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
2. Edie Falco
* Amy Poehler
Tina Fey
1. Toni Collette

Collette's role lets her show incredible range, putting her at an easy advantage over actresses like (my favorite) Amy Poehler; Falco is already known to be a terrific actress in any genre, so I wouldn't be surprised at a win for her, either.
