The Emmy nominations will be presented on Thursday, July 18th so we'll be posting a series of polls to see who you'd like to see being nominated.Today we kick off with two of the most popular categories: Lead Actor & Actress in a Drama Series. You can choose up to six people in each category.
For comparison here are last year's nominees:
Damian Lewis (Homeland) - Winner
Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire)
Michael C. Hall (Dexter)
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad)
Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey)
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
Claire Danes (Homeland) - Winner
Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)
Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey)
Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men)
Kathy Bates (Harry's Law)
Glenn Close (Damages)
Julianna Margulies or Vera Farmiga.
ReplyDeleteI hope Bryan Cranston wins but I think Matthew Rhys is going home with the award this year.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Claire Danes should take the award this year too since Tatiana Maslany isn't nominated.
I do think it is a very good show and I do want to see all 7 seasons but we can't leave behind the procedural-ish nature of the show. Hugh Dancy was very good in the show's first season but IMO Matthew Rhys or Bryan Cranston are going home with the award this year.
ReplyDeleteHugh Dancy and Vera Farmiga FTW!!
ReplyDeleteYou picked Julie Benz from Defiance and forgot about Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black? I won't even waste my time commenting how bad those lists are.
ReplyDeleteActor: Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad. Obvs.
ReplyDeleteActress: Tatiana Maslany - Orphan Black. Should get a thousand Emmy's for her role.
I have been wanting for spoilertv to do this for a while now but, no offense, theses lists are ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my picks would be:
ReplyDeleteBest Drama Actor [No Order]:
Andrew Lincoln - The Walking Dead
Damien Lewis - Homeland
Michael C. Hall - Dexter
Matthew Rhys - The Americans
Kevin Bacon - The Following
Kevin Spacey - House of Cards
Best Drama Actress [No Order]:
Juliana Marguiles - The Good Wife
Tatiana Maslany - Orphan Black
Keri Russel - The Americans
Claire Danes - Homeland
Kerry Washington - Scandal
Emily Van Camp - Revenge
Disclaimer: I don't watch Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Hannibal or Justified.
I agree 100% (but I have been saying this for some seasons now, although this was her best). She is actually my pick to win. But her category is supporting, not lead
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't Jennifer Carpenter on the list?
ReplyDeleteHow can you even say the list is ridiculous when you don't even watch half the shows? And of course nominating Emily VanCamp isn't ridicluolus? And most of your picks are in the polls anyway so I don't see your point.
ReplyDeleteLead actor: Nathan Fillion
ReplyDeleteLead actress: Stana Katic
I picked Dancy for Actor but for actress Tatiana Maslany of Orphan Black is missing and that is a crime.
ReplyDeleteKerry Washington (Scandal) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary)
ReplyDeletealthough it saddens me to admit, they probably won't win, i'd be happy if they were at least nominated. both were fantastic this year, particularly Washington.
Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell are my choice, they've done a fab job in The Americans
ReplyDeleteSimon Baker!

ReplyDeleteJohn Noble and Vera Farmiga
ReplyDeleteI'd love to vote for Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal
ReplyDeleteShe's submitted for supporting actress.
ReplyDeleteJohn Noble is supporting
ReplyDeleteLana Parilla is supporting
ReplyDeleteI agree. Not for the win, but they both deserve nominations.
ReplyDeleteI am too pulling for a Kerry Washington nomination, she is amazing
ReplyDeleteHear hear on Tatiana missing
ReplyDeleteJust because you disagree that Emily Van Camp should be included does not mean that my opinions are not valid just because she is there, deal with it. Also, you don't even include for instance Juliana Marguiles, which has won two years ago and has been nominated since the show began? And you put Sarah Wayne Callies for The Walking Dead but no Andrew Lincoln? Kevin Bacon and Kevin Spacey are also missing. And even though I don't watch Mad Men, making a list without considering John Ham as a candidate is just asking not to be taken serious... Tatiana Maslany, Connie Britton (and I don't watch Nashville), Robin Wright are all also missing from the list of potential nominees. And I didn't even bring in the long shots
ReplyDeleteThere is still hope for Tatiana to be nominated... We'll see if the Emmys do it right
ReplyDeleteThe entire cast of Game of Thrones submits as supporting if I am not mistaken
ReplyDeleteYeah Anna Torv did not submit herself for consideration this year
ReplyDeleteI am actually not sure if Tony Goldwyn submits himself as supporting or lead, I would guess only Kerry goes as lead, but I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteI agree that he should have won for the earlier seasons, but I think he put one of his best performances this year as the writing got crazy good again and he delivered as always.
ReplyDeleteThis!!
ReplyDeleteThey have done an excellent job with their subtle performances as Philip and Elizabeth. I would love for them to get recognition.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that the show itself was not eligible. Why is that?
ReplyDeleteI def agree with you. He was amazing last season. As well as Jennifer. I do hope tho he can win for this next season. He deserves one for all the great work he did on Dexter.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about winning this season since competition is completely crazy. I think I would give it to Lincoln but honestly, I would be thrilled if Michael C. Hall won as well. I don't see him having the buzz to do it now though... Jennifer, I just pray that she is nominated. It is a crime that it still hasn't happened.

***I just caught up on the entire season of Orphan Black this month and I'm completely blown away by the ability of the lead actress, Tatiana, to portray so many different characters effectively. By far, the most impressive TV acting I've seen this year. Matthew Rhys really impressed me in the Americans. He would be my top choice. BTW, Vera Farmiga is a terrific actress... I haven't watched Bates Motel, but I'm sure she's great in it.
Seriously. She deserves practically every award under the sun this year!
ReplyDeleteLead Actor: Jeremy Irons (The Borgias), Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal) , Kevin Bacon (The Following)
ReplyDeleteLead Actress: Vera Farmiga
oh ok, I don't think they should thou
ReplyDeletethe mentalist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJared Padalecki, Supernatural. But we all know that genre TV on the CW might as well not exist.
ReplyDeleteRobin Tunney (The Mentalist) for Lead Actress.
ReplyDeleteHUGH DANCY obviously :)
ReplyDeleteI dont watch many dramas, but Lauren German and Jesse Spencer from Chicago fire should be considered.
ReplyDeleteplease vote4 simon i am worrying about him<3
ReplyDeleteLead Actress: Kerry Washington of Scandal!!
ReplyDeleteI'd add Stana Katic of Castle and Nathan Fillion of Castle to the lists. Fillion was awesome in the two parter they did in February. Katic's performance in the season opener was so nuanced.
ReplyDeleteTatiana Maslany is the only option. I think they could fill the category with just her different characters.
ReplyDeleteMichael c hall rules fucking bitches
ReplyDeleteBest leading actor : Jeremy Irons or Francois Arnaud from The Borgias
ReplyDeleteFrancois Arnaud and Holliday Grainger
ReplyDeleteJeremy Irons or Francois Arnaud as leading actors
ReplyDeleteJeremy Irons or Francois Arnaud
ReplyDeleteJoanne Kelly - Warehouse 13
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? Have you seen the depth in Hayden's acting skills in Nashville?! She should be nominated without a doubt. Never seen so much emotion!
ReplyDeleteThat's Hayden Panettiere, by the way!
ReplyDeleteLana Parrilla - ONCE UPON A TIME
ReplyDeleteRobin Tunney ( Mentalist ) ! Mon idole <3
ReplyDeletejulie benz all the way she deserves it
ReplyDeleteLead actress: Robin Tunney
ReplyDeleteRobin ♥
ReplyDeleteActress: Tatiana Maslany. Period. End of discussion.
ReplyDeleteYES! Lead and Supporting. ;)
ReplyDeleteOther- Tatiana Maslany!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly Anna didn't submit herself this year, John Noble did in supporting actor but that is a tough category to get nominated in.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope indeed!
ReplyDeleteAnna Torv isn't eligible.
ReplyDeleteMe too :)
ReplyDeleteAden Young (Rectify) and Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't watch any of these shows, so I guess I'll go with "Other".
ReplyDeleteBRYAN CRANSTON!
ReplyDeleteI went with Bryan Cranston and Vera Farmiga. But seriously, Simon Baker is almost winning in this poll? He's not a bad actor but meh.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Carpenter (Dexter) should get nominated me thinks. I didn't like her character at all the first seasons but Jennifer have truly acted so brilliantly I like Debra better than Dexter these days. And from the sneak peaks of the coming season - she's awesome!
ReplyDeleteNo Jon Hamm this time?
ReplyDeleteWell there is no way i would choose any one other than Bryan Cranston to win but i would also really like to see Matthew Rhys nominated as well as Hugh Dancy among the usual nominations.. In the lead actress category my top choices would be Claire Danes, Vera Farmiga and Kerri Russel and i would be happy if either Farmiga or Russel win.. Oh and i would definitely want to see Tatiana Maslany nominated..
ReplyDeleteMark HArmon best actor NCIS Best supporting actor NCIS David McCallum
ReplyDeleteJune 1, 2012 - May 31, 2013
ReplyDeleteTatiana is eligible and on the ballot, but Orphan Black as a show isn't.
Hugh Dancy (Hannibal) definitely. His acting was good before but he's really proven himself on the show.
ReplyDeleteI voted other in both:
ReplyDeleteLead actor: Tony Goldwyn- Scandal
Lead actress: Emily Van Camp- Revenge
