It may seem silly that I keep in my predictions Matthew Perry for a canceled series (Go On) instead of other actors who seem to have more chances to be nominated (Johnny Galecki and Jake Johnson) and may have reason but I wanted to make my predictions slightly different.
It is also rare that I do not have to Monica Potter, especially considering the acclaim that is taking lately for her performance in Parenthood and I think it is likely that she is nominated but instead of who?
I think Anna Gunn and Maggie Smith are safe nominees. Elizabeth McGovern benefits of compete in Supporting instead in Leading. Michelle Fairley has received many comments from those scenes that many remember also that her series is potentially nominated for Best Drama Series. And both girls of The Good Wife are Emmy winners are excellent in their series, who could be left out.
And it seems wrong not to get my predictions Sienna Miller for The Girl but this is a very competitive category and we have five highly respected and acclaimed actresses but still a surprise and I would like to see Sienna Miller nominated.
I would like to see some love for Elementary (especially for Jonny Lee Miller) and Hannibal (Best Drama Series, Hugh Dancy and categories like Art Direction, Cinematography) I would like to see Mindy Kaling is instead of the actress of Girls.

Thoughts on my predictions? What are your own predictions?


What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
