Best Supporting Actor nominee Michael Emerson gave PopcornBiz his predictions for the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards:
Outstanding Drama Series
Breaking Bad, Dexter, The Good Wife, Lost, Mad Men, True Blood
Emerson’s Pick: “This is impossible to call. I have a sentimental favorite among them. But let me say, I’m really pleased that ‘Lost’ has been recognized in so many categories. That hasn’t happened since our first season. I’m proud we have this buoyant exit and so many of us will be there that night.”
“It’s a tough one. But the more we talk about it, the better I like ‘Lost’s’ chances. If that principle is true, I think ‘Lost’ has good a chance as any.”
Outstanding Comedy Series
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, Glee, Nurse Jackie, The Office,
30 Rock
Emerson’s Pick: “I have a soft spot in my heart for ‘Nurse Jackie.’ Something about the off-beat chemistry of that show. I really like it. I am sure the people that handicap these things think I’m crazy. But there you have it.”
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
, Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights),
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad),
Hugh Laurie (House),
Michael C. Hall (Dexter),
Matthew Fox (Lost)
Emerson’s Pick: “Matthew’s had an extraordinary run on the show, but I thought his game was of a very high order this last season.” Though he calls Chandler “a stellar talent,” Emerson is still blown away by Fox’s farewell: ”Talk about a framing device. Years ago his eye opened and years later it closes. And in that blink is an entire universe. That’s so great.”
