Emmy Winner Predictions 2011: Part 2

Here is part 2 of my Emmy winner prediciton list, let's see if I'm right with any of them this year!

DISCLAIMER:
My personal predictions are typed in the color red...
This is an updated list complete with the winners from last weekend's Creative Arts Emmy's.
* = Already awarded

Outstanding Comedy Series

The Big Bang Theory

Glee

Modern Family

The Office

Parks And Recreation

30 Rock

If Glee was to take this Emmy home, it would have happened LAST year! But of course, Modern Family is such a knockout show that of course took home the gold! Modern Family is not only a fantastic comedy based on the performances, but the writing and the message of togetherness and family are so outstanding!

Wildcard: Glee – Even with it’s HORRIBLE second season, there’s still enough spark there to earn themselves an Emmy.

Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series

The Big C

Glee

Modern Family

Nurse Jackie

30 Rock

Again, this one has to go to the amazing casting done for Modern Family!

Wildcard: Glee – Glee comes in again at a close second, but a big cast doesn’t almost boast the BEST casting like Modern Family…

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series

Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter (The Big Bang Theory)

Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)

Matt LeBlanc as Matt LeBlanc (Episodes)

Louis C.K. as Louie (Louie)

Steve Carell as Michael Scott (The Office)

Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy (30 Rock)

This definitely wasn’t Steve Carell’s BEST season on the show, but I think it’ll be good enough to earn the sympathy win for it being his last year on the show and all.

Wildcard: Louis C.K. - Off beat, hilarious, and honest. Surprise nomination :)

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series

Laura Linney as Cathy Jamison (The Big C)

Melissa McCarthy as Molly Flynn (Mike & Molly)

Edie Falco as Jackie Peyton (Nurse Jackie)

Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation)

Martha Plimpton as Virginia Chance (Raising Hope)

Tina Fey as Liz Lemon (30 Rock)

Amy Poehler deserves more recognition this year than just another nomination, as great as it already is. She was spot on with her performance and earned her nomination and win this year, hands down.

Wildcard: Melissa McCarthy – Her starring sidekick role in Bridesmaids this summer was a standout! I'm talking Oscars here people! But I also think it pushed her chances even more for her Emmy nomination, and just maybe a win...

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series

Chris Colfer as Kurt Hummel (Glee)

Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy (Modern Family)

Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell Pritchett (Modern Family)

Ed O'Neill as Jay Pritchett (Modern Family)

Eric Stonestreet as Cameron Tucker (Modern Family)

Jon Cryer as Alan Harper (Two And A Half Men)

As great as Eric Stonestreet was last season, last year the Emmy should have gone to Ty Burrell. This season however, Stonestreet is a bit more deserving with his performance. And thank you for not leaving Ed O’Neill out this time!

Wildcard: Chris Colfer – Even though this is yet another dramedy nomination, it’s a pretty high ranking one at that. He held his own humor, but what drove this nomination was the strong bullying storyline throughout the whole season, not to mention the sweet romance with Blaine.

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series

Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester (Glee)

Betty White as Elka Ostrovsky (Hot In Cleveland)

Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy (Modern Family)

Sofia Vergara as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett (Modern Family)

Kristen Wiig as Various characters (Saturday Night Live)

Jane Krakowski as Jenna Maroney (30 Rock)

Now comes the year when Sofia Vergara WILL take it from Jane Lynch! She’s always spot on, accent and all, full of spark and spunk, and hilarious from start to finish.

Wildcard: Julie Bowen – Maybe it’s also time to recognize the quiet, frantic humor with Bowen…?

*Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series

Idris Elba as Lenny (The Big C)

Nathan Lane as Pepper Saltzman (Modern Family)

Zach Galifianakis, Host (Saturday Night Live)
