Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series

James Woods for playing Sebastian Stark on Shark
James Spader for playing Alan Shore on Boston Legal
James Gandolphini for playing Tony Soprano on The Sopranos
Denis Leary for playing Tommy Gavin on Rescue Me
Hugh Laurie for playing Gregory House in House

No, I did not try to squeeze as many Jameses in there as possible. It just happened.

Yep…no Heroes at all. Great writing. Not spectacular acting. No more Losties either. And the main characters of Grey’s Anatomy really can’t act. They just whine or speak monotone.

But really…what’s better than Woods bouncing around yelling at people??
