Nominations are out for the first big award show of the year….
Here are the nominations for television…along with my personal picks…
I’m not listing the nominations for movies because, well, I never see movies.
Series, Drama:
“Big Love,” HBO
“Damages,” FX Networks
“Grey’s Anatomy,” ABC
“House,” Fox
“Mad Men,” AMC
“The Tudors,” Showtime
Jen’s pick: This one is a no-brainer….GREY’S ANATOMY!!
Actress, Drama:
Patricia Arquette, “Medium”
Glenn Close, “Damages”
Minnie Driver, “The Riches”
Edie Falco, “The Sopranos”
Sally Field, “Brothers & Sisters”
Holly Hunter, “Saving Grace”
Kyra Sedgwick, “The Closer”
Jen’s pick: Hands down- Kyra Sedgwick. Brenda Lee makes you want to cringe- but be her all at the same time!
Actor, Drama:
Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”
Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”
Hugh Laurie, “House”
Jonathan Rhys Meyers, “The Tudors”
Bill Paxton, “Big Love”
Jen’s Pick: Personally, I’m upset Patrick Dempsey is NOT on this list. He should be!! I’ve never heard of half these shows….so I’m going to go with Hugh Laurie- because he freaks me out- which means he’s a good actor!
Series, Musical or Comedy:
“30 Rock,” NBC
“Californication,” Showtime
“Entourage,” HBO
“Extras,” HBO
“Pushing Daisies” ABC
Jen’s pick: 30 Rock- no question
Actress, Musical or Comedy:
Christina Applegate, “Samantha Who?”
America Ferrera, “Ugly Betty”
Tina Fey, “30 Rock”
Anna Friel, “Pushing Daisies”
Mary-Louise Parker, “Weeds”
Jen’s Pick: Tough category- all great actresses..this is one of those categories where it’s “I’m just so proud to be considered with these fine women.”
I’m going to put my money on Tina Fey…or Mary-Louise Parker…..I can’t decide!
Actor, Musical or Comedy:
Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”
Steve Carell, “The Office”
David Duchovny, “Californication”
Ricky Gervais, “Extras”
Lee Pace, “Pushing Daisies”
Jen’s Pick: I want to say Alec Baldwin. But, I think the voters might be a little turned off by his semi-recent controversy because of his phone call to his daughter. So I’m going to go with Steve Carell.
Miniseries or Movie:
“Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” HBO
“The Company,” TNT
“Five Days,” HBO
“Longford,” HBO
“The State Within” BBC America.
Jen’s Pick: Never seen any of these..I’m going to go with……Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
Actress, Miniseries or Movie:
Bryce Dallas Howard, “As You Like It”
Debra Messing, “The Starter Wife”
Queen Latifah, “Life Support”
Sissy Spacek, “Pictures of Hollis Woods”
Ruth Wilson, “Jane Eyre (Masterpiece Theatre)”
Jen’s Pick: Let’s go with Debra Messing. That’s the only one on this list that I’ve seen- and I enjoyed it!
Actor, Miniseries or Movie:
Adam Beach, “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee”
Ernest Borgnine, “A Grandpa for Christmas”
Jim Broadbent, “Longford”
Jason Isaacs, “The State Within”
James Nesbitt, “Jekyll.”
Jen’s Pick: Again- no idea…I’ve never even heard of any of these actors!! Let’s go with Ernest Borgnine…because I think I’ve heard his name before!
Supporting Actress, Series, Miniseries or Movie:
Rose Byrne, “Damages”
Rachel Griffiths, “Brothers & Sisters”
Katherine Heigl, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Samantha Morton, “Longford”
Anna Paquin, “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee”
Jaime Pressly, “My Name Is Earl.”
Jen’s Pick: I really want to go with Katherine Heigl because I love Grey’s. But really…is she really that great of an actress? The role doesn’t really seem to be that much of a stretch. I know…shocking I’m falling off the Grey’s wagon. Because of my logic- I’m going with Jamie Pressly. I think that role is quite a stretch!
Supporting Actor, Series, Miniseries or Movie:
Ted Danson, “Damages”
Kevin Dillon, “Entourage”
Jeremy Piven, “Entourage”
Andy Serkis, “Longford”
William Shatner, “Boston Legal”
Donald Sutherland, “Dirty Sexy Money”
Jen’s Pick: I’m going with Donald Sutherland. He scares me. I think Entourage will cancel each other out. I like William Shatner- but I don’t think that role is much of a stretch either. He plays a crazy old man….
