DRAMA SERIES
Breaking Bad
Dexter
The Good Wife
Lost
Mad Men
True Blood

SHOULD WIN: Mad Men
WILL WIN: Mad Men
SHOULD HAVE MADE THE LIST: These shows aren't all my cup of tea, but it's a reasonable field, and nothing comes to mind that is obviously more deserving.

LEAD ACTOR / DRAMA
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Matthew Fox, Lost
Michael C. Hall, Dexter
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Hugh Laurie, House

SHOULD WIN: Hamm
WILL WIN: Cranston
SHOULD HAVE MADE THE LIST: By far, the strongest field of the night. Not all performances that I watch regularly, but the bits and pieces I have seen are enough to convince me that there's not an undeserving name on the list.

LEAD ACTRESS / DRAMA
Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Glenn Close, Damages
Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
January Jones, Mad Men
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer

SHOULD WIN: Margulies
WILL WIN: Margulies
SHOULD HAVE MADE THE LIST: As usual, the weakest field of the night, but that's not really the fault of the Academy voters. The pickings are mighty slim in this category, and these probably are the best choices available from an unimpressive list. (The name most frequently suggested as overlooked here is Katey Sagal, but since Sons of Anarchy never appealed to me, I can offer no opinion on the question. Still, she couldn't be any duller than Mariska Hargitay, could she?)

SUPPORTING ACTOR / DRAMA
Andre Braugher, Men of a Certain Age
Michael Emerson, Lost
Terry O'Quinn, Lost
Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad
Martin Short, Damages
John Slattery, Mad Men

SHOULD WIN: O'Quinn

SHOULD HAVE MADE THE LIST: Enver Gjokaj, Dollhouse (who didn't even submit his name for consideration)
SHOULDN'T HAVE: Short

SUPPORTING ACTRESS / DRAMA
Christine Baranski, The Good Wife
Rose Byrne, Damages
Sharon Gless, Burn Notice
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men
Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men
Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife
