Fun idea but I don't know enough worthy nominees. I like your choice of Conchatta Farrel though, her character is so real, so different from 99% of characters on TV that it cracks me up.

I'll attempt this, though i might not know names and might get genres mixed up. I have also bolded the ones i want to win. I didnt do any of the supporting categories.

I am not doing the Best Reality Series because there is no such thing.

Cool idea, Libs. So just from June to December? I say June, because some FOX shows started then, even though none will be on my list. I'll make one up later. Lost and Desperate Housewives are tough. None of the actors or actresses really step up as stars of their shows, so it's hard to differentiate there.

You guys think Desperate Housewives will be put in the drama category?

Drama/comedy/mistery

Best Drama Series
Without a Trace
CSI
Cold Case (It's better then last year IMO)
Veronica Mars
The O.C.

Best Comedy Series - There isn't really much worthy here IMO:
Arrested Development
That 70s Show - hehe
Boston Legal - not sure it's a comedy, but it's funnier then anthing else I can think of.

I think ABC has put DH into the Comedy category for the Golden Globes. Why put it into competition with Lost, when it can fit either category.
