EMMYs 2012 Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Dream Nominations and Winner

Now that the most prestigious awards night for primetime television is near, let me share to you the six lead actors who I think will (and hope) to be nominated for the  Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama   Series category. And of course, I'll include who I think must win the said award. 

This one is a close call. You basically know who will win anyway. It's just a fight of who will be nominated.

You ready?

Here we go... 

Bryan Cranston, BREAKING BAD (AMC)

Somewhere out there, Bryan Cranston is already preparing his thank-you speech when he wins the award for the fourth time. Mr. White is one of the most engaging characters I've ever watched on Television, and his portrayer - Cranston - is the one to be applaud to. 

He will win this award. Period.

Unless some weird voodoo happens.

Jon Hamm, MAD MEN (AMC)

Don Draper always gets what he wants... except the Emmys. Jon Hamm has been on the nominees list ever since Mad Men started, but he had never won. Well, his show - Mad Men - wins every year as the Most Outstanding Drama Series anyway. Jon Hamm plays Draper so well that he makes me want to smoke a lot and cheat on my girlfriend.

Are you awakened by Awake? AWAKE: Pilot Review

NBC's new fantasy crime drama, Awake, premiered last March 1, 2012. The show features Jason Isaacs, Laura Allen, Wilmer Valderrama, BD Wong, and more. 

The series was announced by NBC last May 2011 to serve as a midseason replacement for the 2011-2012 tv season of the said network. 

Police detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) is newly returned to work after being in a car crash along with his wife Hannah (Laura Allen) and his son Rex (Dylan Minnette). After the crash Britten discovers that every time he goes to sleep he switches between two realities, one in which his wife died in the crash and one in which his son died. In the reality where his wife is alive he is partnered with rookie Efrem Vega (Wilmer Valderrama) and is seeing a confrontational department-recommended psychiatrist Dr. Lee (BD Wong). His wife has redecorated the house and begins pushing him to move in an apparent effort to move past their son's death. In the reality in which his son is alive, Britten maintains his long-time partner Isaiah "Bird" Freeman (Steve Harris) and sees a more nurturing psychologist, Dr. Evans (Cherry Jones). His son, previously a football player, has recently returned to playing tennis, and is coached by Hannah's former doubles partner Tara (Michaela McManus). Britten remains unsure which of the two realities, if either, is real, and begins to worry he is losing his sanity when details begin to cross over between the two
