Will Hugh Laurie finally win an Emmy? Hmm...

Hugh Laurie was again nominated for an Emmy for being Dr House. Yay for him.

Then I saw the other nominees in the same category and I'm like, uh-oh... mostly because the other 4 are on cable and cable shows usually sweep these things up. The only other network show is Lost - ick.

Here's what I think about the other nominees in the same category.
  1. Jon Hamm - Won't win, but he'll be nominated again.
  2. Kyle Chandler  (Friday Night Lights) - another show I don't give a shit about because it's about American football. There has been precedence of first nomination wins at the Emmys, but poor Hugh's been nominated so many times and still nothing, so maybe not. Are they cancelling Friday Night Lights? Is that why the show's getting mentioned?
  3. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) - he'll be nominated again, unless his character finally dies and the show is over....Hasn't he won before? Not likely to win THIS time.
  4. Michael C. Hall (Dexter) - since he's cured of his lymphoma, he probably won't win; he'll be nominated again.
  5. Matthew Fox (Lost) - Most likely to win because Lost is over and he's been quoted that he's "done with television" - they might give him the Emmy to lure him back in.
So in sum, Hugh Laurie has about 1/3 chance of winning an Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama Series. Maybe. At the very least, it's between him and Matthew Fox.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

Who's voting for this again? If I'm not wrong I don't think it's the public... so it's up to those voters.
