Let's predict what <em>other </em>shows were widely regarded as good this past year!<!--more--><br />
<strong>Best Comedy<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>30 Rock</em></li>
<li><em><em>The Big Bang Theory</em></em></li>
<li><em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em></li>
<li><em>Louie</em></li>
<li><em>New Girl</em></li>
<li><em>Modern Family</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Sorry, guys: <em>Girls </em>skews a little young for this crowd. All of the shows on this list are essentially perma-nominees at this point, but for <em>Louie</em>, which is so well-regarded among the establishment that its nomination seems likely, and <em>New Girl</em>, which is youngish but is sort-of, kind-of an actual hit on broadcast TV (unlike possible nominees like <em>Parks and Recreation</em>).</p>
<p><strong>Best Drama</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Breaking Bad </em></li>
<li><em>Downton Abbey</em></li>
<li><em>Game of Thrones</em></li>
<li><em>The Good Wife</em></li>
<li><em>Homeland</em></li>
<li><em>Mad Men</em></li>
</ul>
<p><em>The Good Wife </em>sneaks in just so broadcast TV is represented somehow; the rest are the five TV shows (yes, <em>Downton </em>is a series now, not a miniseries) that combined critical acclaim with your co-workers asking if you were caught up yet. (<a href="http://observer.com/2012/03/is-hbo-all-out-of-luck/">Poor, not-quite-loved</a> <em>Boardwalk Empire</em>.)</p>
<p><strong>Best Actress, Comedy</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Laura Dern, <em>Enlightened</em></li>
<li>Zooey Deschanel, <em>New Girl</em></li>
<li>Lena Dunham, <em><em><em>Girls</em></em></em></li>
<li>Tina Fey, <em>30 Rock</em></li>
<li>Julia Louis-Dreyfus, <em>Veep</em></li>
<li>Amy Poehler, <em>Parks and Recreation</em></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://observer.com/2012/06/emmy-preview-will-lena-dunham-get-a-best-actress-nod/">We stand by our prediction!</a></p>
<p><strong>Best Actor, Comedy</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Alec Baldwin, <em>30 Rock</em></li>
<li>Louis C.K., <em>Louie</em></li>
<li>Jon Cryer, <em>Two and a Half Men</em></li>
<li>Larry David, <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em></li>
<li>Johnny Galecki, <em>The Big Bang Theory</em></li>
<li>Jim Parsons, <em>The Big Bang Theory</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Now that perpetual bridesmaid Steve Carell is no longer on TV, there's a spot open, and perhaps it'll go to the guy who helped keep <em>Two and a Half Men </em>on the air, if in attenuated form. Mr. Cryer's already won an Emmy as a supporting actor, anyhow.</p>
<p><strong>Best Actress, Drama</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Claire Danes, <em>Homeland</em></li>
<li>Mariska Hargitay, <em>Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit</em></li>
<li>Julianna Margulies, <em>The Good Wife</em></li>
<li>Elizabeth McGovern, <em>Downton Abbey</em></li>
<li>Elisabeth Moss, <em>Mad Men</em></li>
<li>Jessica Paré, <em>Mad Men</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Lots of turnover in this category! But presumably Ms. Hargitay will remain, constant, impassive, immovable.<br />
<strong>Best Actor, Drama<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Steve Buscemi, <em>Boardwalk Empire</em></li>
<li>Bryan Cranston, <em>Breaking Bad</em></li>
<li>Kelsey Grammer, <em>Boss</em></li>
<li>Hugh Laurie, <em>House</em></li>
<li>Damian Lewis, <em>Homeland</em></li>
<li>Jon Hamm, <em>Mad Men</em></li>
</ul>
<p>With the exception of Hugh Laurie (whose show just ended), this is a party of all the ill-behaved men of cable TV.</p>
