The 63rd Emmy Award Nominations

The 63rd annual Emmy Awards will be presented on September 18, 2011 and will be hosted by Jane Lynch. 


The Emmy Award Nominations were just announced and I will be letting you all know who I would like to see win by using a (*). 


Drama Series:
- Boardwalk Empire
- The Good Wife*
- Mad Men
- Friday Night Lights
- Dexter
- Game of Thrones 
* This past season of The Good Wife was absolutely brilliant, not sure how but it topped the fantastic first season.


Lead Actress in a Drama Series:
- Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men)
- Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights)
- Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit)
- Mireille Enos (The Killing)
- Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife)*
- Kathy Bates (Harry's Law)
* Julianna Margulies was brilliant this past season, like the show, she was even better this season.


Lead Actor in a Drama Series:
- Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire)
- Michael C. Hall (Dexter)*
- Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights)
- Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
- Hugh Laurie (House)
- Timothy Olyphant (Justified)
* I will always love Dexter, which means I will always vote for Michael C. Hall.


Supporting Actress in a Drama Series:
- Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire)
- Christina Hendricks (Mad Men)
- Michelle Forbes (The Killing)
- Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife)*
- Margo Martindale (Justified)
- Christine Baranski (The Good Wife)
* I love both Archie and Christine on The Good Wife, but Archie Panjabi's character showed a completely different side this past season.


Supporting Actor in a Drama Series:
- John Slattery (Mad Men)
- Andre Braugher (Men of a Certain Age)
- Walton Goggins (Justified)
- Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones)
- Josh Charles (The Good Wife)
- Alan Cumming (The Good Wife)*
* Alan Cumming on The Good Wife was fantastic this season. Season 2 would not be great without him. 


Comedy Series:
- Glee
- Parks and Recreation
- The Office
- Modern Family*
- 30 Rock
- The Big Bang Theory

- Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie)
- Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreations)
- Melissa McCarthy (Mike and Molly)
- Marsha Plimpton (Raising Hope)

- Steve Carell (The Office)
- Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory)

- Betty White (Hot in Cleveland)
- Julie Bowen (Modern Family)
- Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live)
- Jane Krakowski (30 Rock)

- Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men)
- Chris Colfer (Glee)*
- Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family)
- Ed O'Neill (Modern Family)
- Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family)
