EMMYs 2012 Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series Dream Nominations and Winner

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

I want to call this category as the underrated-actresses category. SO MANY deserving actresses to be nominated, so I did my best to choose my Dream Nominees.

You ready?


Here you go?

Julie Bowen, MODERN FAMILY (ABC)

She won last year, and taking the trophy one more time is not much of a surprise. Although her performance this third season was not as good as Modern Family's second one, the Emmy voters might give the award to her nonetheless. 

And who wouldn't want Julie Bowen as their mother? 

Sofia Vergara, MODERN FAMILY (ABC)

This hot Colombian momma has been receiving praises for her comedic skills in Modern Family ever since the show started.  The writers of the show may not be giving her that much, but Vergara's hot accent and awesome physique makes her one of the biggest contenders for this category.

And of course, I'll include who I think must win the said award. 

This one is a nail biter. So many deserving actors in this category!

You ready?


Here you go?

Ty Burrell, MODERN FAMILY (ABC)

Last year's winner has a huge shot of taking home the bacon once again this year. Ty Burrell's portrayal of the fun and adventurous Phil Dunphy is surely one for the keeps.

Bill Hader, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (NBC)

Bill Hader is a nerd who's really good at making people laugh. Period.

Definitely one of the best SNL casts in the history of the show.

EMMYs 2012 Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series Dream Nominations and Winner

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

You ready?


Here you go?

Amy Poehler, PARKS AND RECREATION (NBC)

Amy deserved this award ever since Parks started airing on TV. With an amazing and steady fourth season, Poehler's win is really not that impossible anymore. 

EMMYs 2012 Outstanding Supporting Actress 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 seven supporting actresses who I think will (and hope) to be nominated for the  Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama  Series category. And of course, I'll include who I think must win the said award. 


The category is not that intense as the other awards, but, it's still exciting to know who will/can get some nominations. 


You ready?


Here you go?

Anna Gunn, BREAKING BAD (AMC)

Anna Gunn's performance in the fourth season of Breaking Bad was phenomenal. From being an annoying and whiny bitch, to a lying and enigmatic mofo, Gunn's acting deserves some attention from the Emmys. The men of Breaking Bad may have overshadowed her a lot of times, but after this season, Emmys will give some love to a woman.

Christina Hendricks, MAD MEN (AMC)

Hendricks - who plays Joan - is the kind of actress who is difficult to define. She may not get the attention taht she deserves, but Joan's change and growing storyline from Mad Men helps Christina Hendricks to get the Emmy nod she needs. Most especially after Episode 11 (The Other Woman), Christina is already a safe bet.

EMMYs 2012 Outstanding Supporting 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 seven supporting actors who I think will (and hope) to be nominated for the  Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama  Series category. And of course, I'll include who I think must win the said award. 

This one is also a close call.  It's just a fight of who will be nominated. 

You ready?

Here we go... 

Aaron Paul, BREAKING BAD (AMC)

He's done it before, and he can do it again. Aaron Paul's 2010 win can be repeated 

once more. His portrayal as Jesse Pinkman was phenomenal. AH, Aaron deserves this award so much.

Breaking Bad was freakin' awesome this season, making him, the show, and Cranston the frontrunners

of Emmy 2012.

Peter Dinklage, GAME OF THRONES (HBO)

Last year's winner - Peter Dinklage - proved why he deserved that award on the recently concluded second season of HBO's Game of Thrones. His character is engaging, compelling and an easy fan favorite, however, it would be difficult for him to compete with this year's strongest competitors. Let's just say that he's lucky last year because Breaking Bad did not join the Emmys.

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.

EMMYs 2012 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Dream Nominations and Winner

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

The race for Best Actress in a Drama Series may not be as intense as the actors' race, but it's sure interesting enough for us to make our bets.

You ready?

Here we go...

Julianna Marguiles, THE GOOD WIFE (CBS)

Last year's winner for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama award. 

Julianna has proved, since The Good Wife's premiere 3 years ago, that she has the talent and she has the perfect show for her to win another one this year.The success of TGW on its 3rd season will definitely make  her one of the frontrunners for this category.

EMMYs 2012 Outstanding Comedy Series Dream Nominations and Winner

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

If the battle for Best Drama Series is intense, the fight for the Best Comedy Series Award is more... exciting. There are a lot of funny shows out there, but only few make it on the list of nominees. This category is probably the most difficult one among all the categories.

You ready?

Here we go...

MODERN FAMILY (ABC)

Modern Family has won two times for this category, and it would not be a surprise if they get the award for the third time in a row. Even though the third season of Modern Family had been mediocre and shaky, the Emmy panel might overlook this and give them the award, nonetheless.

EMMYs 2012 Best 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 drama series who I think will (and hope) to be nominated for the Best Drama Series category. And of course, I'll include who I think must win the said award. You ready?

Here we go...

BREAKING BAD (AMC)

Words can't describe how much I want Breaking Bad to win this year. The fourth season of the said show was its best so far. Breaking Bad is, without a doubt, one of the best (if not the best) television series ever created in this planet.

Downton Abbey: Emmy's Best Drama 2012?

Poster for Downton Abbey S1

Downton Abbey, the most successful TV series that aired in UK, has won numerous and notable awards since it first aired last September 2010 in ITV1 UK. One of which is the Emmys Most Outstanding Mini-series for 2011. But recently, news from the producers came out that the said series will change its category to Drama Series. And as one of the best shows airing right now, no doubt that it has a huge shot in winning on the aforementioned category. But will it really beat AMC's most successful TV series to date, winning 4 consecutive times in the category - Mad Men? 

Last December 2011, Downton Abbey aired its best episode so far... the Christmas episode (which somewhat served as the season 2 final). The second season (Sept 2011-Dec 2011), as what critics say, was not as good as the first one of the show. But for me? It's waaay better. The inclusion of the WWI and the Spanish Flu was a smart decision of the writers. We were able to see how these events affected the lives of the characters. Furthermore, I LOVE this season because it was able to show us the different sides of all the people of Downton - their highest points and their lowest. 

Casts of AMC's Mad Men 

Now back to the issue, will it really beat Mad Men in the 2012 Emmys for Most Outstanding Drama Series? Honestly, I think NO. But it WILL be nominated, that's for sure. Here are my reasons:

1. All of the best competitors for the same category gave their best seasons so far (Breaking Bad S4 was outstanding; Boardwalk Empire S2 was waaay  better than S1; Game of Thrones will surely blow our freakin' minds off)
2. New shows such as Showtime's HOMELAND is one of the biggest competitors. Amazing show, well written plot, engaging characters.
3. The people of Emmys have a soft heart for Mad Men, for some apparent reason.
4. 5-peat of Mad Men, if they win this year. And I am sure, its season 5 (which will premiere this March 2012) is going to kick the balls of Matthew Crawley (Downton Abbey reference, y'all). The producers of Mad Men will do anything to win.

Mathew Crawley played by Dan Stevens

As my conclusion, if DA does not win, one thing is clear: It is still nominated despite of being a British show, and it will lose from TV's best products ever.
