Emmy voting  
I was over at Alan Sepinwall's blog reading his emmy pics for TV this year and I thought I would share my choices. Of course, I don't actually get to submit my ballot, but it is fun anyway.

You can read which actors are on the ballot
here


NOTE 1: Voting is restricted to a maximum of 6 people per category.

NOTE 2: I have only voted for actors/actresses that I have seen, so If I haven't seen the show I couldn't vote for the actor.

NOTE 3: If the actor is not on the ballot they can not be voted for.

NOTE 4: This will show bias as I am picking my favourites, it is not meant to be unbiased.

The Performers

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series
Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy 30 Rock
Zach Braff as Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian Scrubs
 
Notes - I don't watch that much comedy and with only 34 actors on the ballot, the only shows I both watch and enjoy are 30 Rock and Scrubs, so that is why this category has only two nominations.
 
 
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Kyle Chandler as Eric Taylor Friday Night LightsMark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs NCISHugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House HouseRob Lowe as Robert McCallister Brothers & SistersChristopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Notes - Why these actors you ask? Well, Kyle Chandler because he is just fantastic, he should win, he wont, but he really does deserve it. Mark Harmon and Christopher Meloni because they make and carry their shows. Hugh Laurie is also a fantastic actor, House wasn't the best these last couple of years, but if it wasn't for him it would have been cancelled. and Rob Lowe as even though I think he really should be in the supporting category, his acting was very good this year.

 
Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series
Tina Fey as Liz Lemon 30 Rock
Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope Parks & RecreationJudy Reyes as Nurse Carla Espinosa Scrubs

 

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series

Mariska Hargitay as Detective Olivia Benson Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Regina King as Detective Lydia Adams SouthlandEvangeline Lilly as Kate Austen Lost

Notes - I really wish there was someone I really wanted to win in this category, but there isn't. Evangeline Lilly should be a supporting actress, not a lead. Hargitay is really over rated, but does carry the show along with Meloni. And King was great in Southland, but the show just wasn't on long enough this season to warrant a win. If only Connie Britton was in this category.
