CONSIDER THIS THE HINT OF THE CENTURY: The big Emmy ballot of performers is always interesting, particularly in four ways:
  • Those who apparently didn't submit and don't appear on the ballot (Jason Segel, Terry O'Quinn)
  • The unusual or surprising categorization (Castle is running as a drama, Rob Lowe is running as a leading actor, Judy Reyes is running as a leading actress)
  • The simply ludicrous (Christopher Gorham for Harper's Island!, Miley Cyrus for Hannah Montana, Leighton Meester lead actress, Fran Kranz for Dollhouse, Tristan Wilds for 90210)
  • The surprising submissions (the smaller part casts of The Office and Chuck submitted in supporting comedy, as did the entire SNL cast, Regis Philbin as himself on HIMYM, Timberlake as a guest actor for SNL hosting, Jimmy Smits is merely a "guest actor" for Dexter, Tina Fey as guest actress for the Sarah Palin impressions on SNL)
I'm sure you can find other nuggets. (Gold Derby has more.)
