More Emmy Talk: Guest and Supporting Comedy Actress; Comedy and Supporting Comedy Actor
By fred | July 3, 2008
Okay, so there’s no list for Best Comedy Actor, well there are a few names out, starting with 7 names that should be on the list of 10, but the last spots are difficult to fill it seems. So far here’s how it goes (and the winner is Alec Baldwin, no really, remember his scene in Rosemary’s Baby ?) :
BEST COMEDY ACTOR
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock (Rosemary’s Baby)
Charlie Sheen, Two And A Half Men (Is There A Mrs. Waffles?)
David Duchovny, Californication (The Last Waltz)
Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm (The Bat Mitzvah)
Lee Pace, Pushing Daisies (Pie-lette)
Steve Carell, The Office (Goodbye, Toby)
Tony Shalhoub, Monk (title to come)
A few other names are circulation, including Josh Radnor, How I Met Your Mother (Ten Sessions) but I doubt it will make it - I also wonder why he get to be on the Best Comedy Actor, while the awesome Neil Patrick Harris in “only” on the Best Supporting Comedy Actor ?? Oh come on, this show isn’t about Ted, it’s the freaking Barney Show ! Everyone knows that.
Anyways, another name I’d love to see on the list is Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory (The Pancake Batter Anomaly), because if that show works and makes you laugh, it’s pretty much almost all to the credit of Parsons, whose simply amazing, Go Sheldon!
About the Supporting Comedy Actor now, and some really difficult choices to make between 30 Rock and The Office among others, though I think it’s about freaking time How I Met Your Mother and Neil Patrick Harris get some love, damnit!
I am quite shocked, though, not to see Chi McBride (Pushing Daisies) on that list. He is terrific on the show, and Emerson Cod is already my favorite character. Pushing Daisies is known and loved it seems, which is great, yet he is not on the list… I can’t believe it!
BEST SUPPORTING COMEDY ACTOR
Fred Willard, Back To You (Cradle To Grave)
Jack McBrayer, 30 Rock (Episode 210)
Jeremy Piven, Entourage (The Day F***ers)
John Krasinski, The Office (Branch Wars)
Jon Cryer, Two And A Half Men (Meander To Your Dander)
Justin Kirk, Weeds (Bill Sussman)
Kevin Dillon, Entourage (The Dream Team)
Neil Patrick Harris, How I Met Your Mother (The Goat)
Rainn Wilson, The Office (Money)
Tracy Morgan, 30 Rock (Secrets And Lies)
Who should win ? Hint: He’s awesome.
