No Arrested Development. No Malcom in the Middle. No Will & Grace. And frankly, last year's winner (Jeremy Piven from Entourage) doesn't really deserve to get the nod again. That means newbies.
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Kevin Dillon for playing Johnny "Drama" Chase on Entourage
Stephen Merchant for playing Agent on Extras
Rainn Wilson for playing Dwight Schrute on The Office
Jack McBrayer for playing Kenneth Parcell on 30 Rock
Maz Jobrani for playing Gourishankar "Gary" Subramaniam on The Knights of Prosperity
For the record. Knights won't receive any nods at all, which is a shame because it was a great show. Too bad it didn't catch any sore of following. Props go to HBO and NBC for really keeping comedy alive on television. I think Dillon should really take this one home.
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
William Shatner for playing Denny Crane on Boston Legal
Gary Anthony Williams for playing Clarence Bell on Boston Legal
Michael Emerson for playing Ben Linus on Lost
James Pickens, Jr. for playing Dr. Richard Webber on Grey's Anatomy
Michael Imperioli for playing Christopher Moltisanti on The Sopranos
Let's go ABC! This one may be tough competition, but Emerson deserves it most for his portrayal of Lost's bad/good guy. This would be the only chance Williams would have for a nod before his character gets old. And with David E. Kelley's track record, he might not be around for too long.
