TOP 10 DRAMA SERIES FINALISTS
Boston Legal
Dexter
Friday Night Lights
Grey's Anatomy
Heroes
House
Lost
Rome
The Sopranos
24

TOP 10 COMEDY SERIES FINALISTS
Desperate Housewives
Entourage
Extras
My Name is Earl
The Office
Scrubs
Thirty Rock
Two and a Half Men
Ugly Betty
Weeds

That's a pretty strong top 10 for Comedy, I see any of them making the nominations. Drama has some odder choices (Rome? Dexter? BOSTON LEGAL?), so it's a lot looser outside of Sopranos, Grey's and Lost (Which isn't even certain after last year). I'm thinking:

DRAMA SERIES
1. The Sopranos
2. Grey's Anatomy
3. Lost
4. Friday Night Lights
5. 24

6. Heroes
7. House
8. Dexter
9. Rome
10. Boston Legal

TOP 10 COMEDY SERIES FINALISTS
1. The Office
2. Two and a Half Men
3. Ugly Betty
4. 30 Rock
5. Extras

6. Desperate Housewives
7. Entourage
8. My Name is Earl
9. Weeds
10. Scrubs

My hopeful five predictions in bold.

TOP 10 DRAMA SERIES FINALISTS
Boston Legal
Dexter
Friday Night Lights
Grey's Anatomy
Heroes
House
Lost
Rome
The Sopranos
24

Even though I wish 24 Season 6 would be forgotten, I still enjoyed watching the season more than House. And I don't want the other 4.

TOP 10 COMEDY SERIES FINALISTS
Desperate Housewives
Entourage
Extras
My Name is Earl
The Office
Scrubs
Thirty Rock
Two and a Half Men
Ugly Betty
Weeds

I like Earl, but... the other five would rank higher for me. Extras definitely, Office definitely, Weeds definitely, Entourage definitely. It's a tossup on the last spot between Housewives and Earl. Don't watch Scrubs, Half Men or Betty, and I just didn't like 30 Rock enough to nominate it.

Any word on the acting categories?

None yet. We'll probably have to wait for those.

I'm still amazed Dexter made it. Ballsy, for the Emmys. This also certifies Michael C. Hall in Actor, methinks.

Two and a Half Men sucked this past season, why is that on a list and not How I Met Your Mother? Me=clueless.

Other than that, those lists are expected, although 24 should be nowhere near a "best of" list with that season it just had.

If I had to predict...

Best Drama
Friday Night Lights
Grey's Anatomy
Heroes
Lost
The Sopranos

Best Comedy
30 Rock
Desperate Housewives
The Office
Ugly Betty
Weeds

Ugly Betty is a lock for a nomination, definitely more than Desperate.

Damn, I knew there was something missing.

I just hope Denis Leary gets nominated. The fucker is incredible.

Last season's finale ALONE makes it fantastic.

If Denis Leary and Callie Thorne don't get nominated for Rescue Me, the voters are watching the wrong shows.

Why is Dexter ballsy? It's gotten amazing press and was by far the best drama this year.

My sense of it was that DH has been resurgent while UB fell off the zeitgeist radar around midseason.

I think it would've been pretty shocking if Dexter hadn't made the top ten. Like juju said, it got a lot of buzz this season and has been picking up nominations all year. Its odds of making it into the final five, though, are pretty slim.

But yeah, Hall should make it in.

I do think Betty peaked pretty early in terms of buzz, but yeah, I still think it's pretty much a lock for a nom.

As much as I'd love to see Extras in there, I don't think it has a shot.

Brothers & Sisters, The Tudors, and Rescue Me are the surprises, in terms of not making the Drama list. They were on the bubble, though, anyway. I don't know how Boston Legal fares so well; I think it made the top ten last year, too.

I think a safe bet for the final five is...

Best Drama
24
Grey's Anatomy
House
Lost
The Sopranos

It's hard to gauge Friday Night Lights and whether its critical reception will translate to Emmy votes. I think critics and fans will be disappointed to find that it might not. But I would really like to see it get in over something like 24 (which, despite the weak season everyone's been talking about, I think is safe because of episode submission).

Based upon this past season this is what I would like to see. FNL and The Office were the 2 best shows on tv this past season.

Hmm. How come this is a rumored list? Where did it come from? I thought it was official. I didn't even realize it said "rumored".

The Emmys don't announce who the finalists actually are and it just depends on rumors from people who don't care about the thingy they signed. Apparently last year's lists weren't accurate at all.

I don't know about Comedy, but as for Drama noms, I predict:

Heroes
Lost
Friday Night Lights
Grey's Anatomy
The Sopranos

Remember how the second Lost season was snubed? Expect the same for 24.

As for the winner, I think it will be between Lost and The Sopranos.

Rescue Me is the best drama on television right now. It's as simple as that. (Only show I've heard that can top it and which I haven't seen is Dexter which I'll be watching soon)

Denis Leary is the best actor in a drama series now.

It's not like I'm pimping it because I love the show. It's really THAT good and alot of it is not in an obvious way which makes it even better! Not being nominated for Best Drama is a fucking travesty. They don't what the hell quality is.


It may be a long shot but I'd be giddy if Weeds got in.

So FX didn't have any shows in the top 10's?? They advertised and campaigned the shit out of all their shows. Sad.

I think you are correct. The Sopranos will definately be nominated and will probably win. Replace Friday Night Lights with House maybe.

Nah

I think Friday Night Lights is way too critically-acclaimed not to get in.

season 3 did not deserve to be nominated. Season 1 did and maybe season 2 but not 3.
