  3. TV Series Drama -- It should go to Dexter, but House is always stiff competition.
    TV Series Comedy -- TORN. I love Weeds, the Office, and 30 Rock, but The Office has really been on their game this season.
    Actress in a TV Series Drama -- Ngh I don't watch any of these with any regularity, so I'm ambivalent.
    Actor in a TV Series Drama -- The only one I don't watch is Mad Men, I'd be happy with any of the rest but I really think Jonathan Rhys Meyers deserves it.
    Actress in a TV Series Comedy -- Mary Louise Parker, please.
    Actor in a TV Series Comedy -- Alec Baldwin.
    Miniseries -- JOHN ADAMS, IF THERE IS ANYTHING RIGHT IN THE UNIVERSE.
    Actress in a Miniseries -- Laura Linney
    Actor in a Miniseries -- Gah this is harder. Paul Giamatti was awesome but Kevin Spacey was a standout performance in Recount.
    Supporting Actress in a Series etc -- Eileen Atkins was excellent and always hilarious, but I think I have to say Dianne Wiest.
    Supporting Actor in a Series etc -- I love NPH, and Tom Wilkinson was awesome in John Adams

  9. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
    c. JANUARY JONES MAD MEN
    While I'd like to say Mariska Hargitay will win, I'm sure J. Jones will take it since Mad Men has a habit of sweeping the awards shows.
