COMEDY SERIES:
The Big Bang Theory, CBS
Girls, HBO
Louie, FX
Modern Family, ABC
30 Rock, NBC
Veep, HBO
Who Deserves to Win: Modern
Family. I’ve never watched some of these shows (“Louie”, “Veep”) so I
can only judge from what I’ve seen. Whenever I catch “Modern Family” it always
garners a laugh.
Who Will Win: 30 Rock. Being
the show’s final bow, voters might turn sentimental and grant them the statue.
LEAD ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES:
Jason Bateman, Arrested
Development, Netflix
Louis C.K., Louie, FX
Don Cheadle, House of Lies,
Showtime
Matt LeBlanc, Episodes,
Showtime
Jim Parsons, Big Bang Theory,
CBS
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock, NBC
Who Deserves to Win: Alec Baldwin.
The only highlight of an overrated comedy, Baldwin stands out as the saving
grace of the now defunct series.
Who Will Win: Jim Parsons.
Fans and critics have long praised Parsons cerebral comedic abilities; they
might reward him. Bateman is a long-shot after the ill-received return of
“Arrested Development” online.
LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES:
Lena Dunham, Girls, HBO
Laura Dern, Enlightened, HBO
Tiny Fey, 30 Rock, NBC
Amy Poehler, Parks and Recreation,
NBC
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep,
HBO
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie,
Showtime
Who Deserves to Win: Amy Poehler.
Her skill speaks for itself.
Who Will Win: Lena Dunham.
Voters might swing for the “hip” vote with the controversial Dunham, who
critics are awestruck by for some bizarre reason.
SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES:
Adam Driver, Girls, HBO
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Modern
Family, ABC
Ed O'Neill, Modern Family,
ABC
Ty Burrell, Modern Family,
ABC
Bill Hader, Saturday Night Live,
NBC
Tony Hale, Veep, HBO
Who Deserves to Win: Ty Burrell.
Funny and underappreciated his characterization of the affable Phil Dunphy is
heartwarming.
Who Will Win: Ty Burrell.
Read above.
SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY
SERIES:
Mayim Bialik, The Big Bang Theory,
CBS
Jane Lynch, Glee, Fox
Sofia Vergara, Modern Family,
ABC
Julie Bowen, Modern Family,
ABC
Merritt Wever, Nurse Jackie,
Showtime
Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock, NBC
Anna Chlumsky, Veep, HBO
Who Deserves to Win: Jane Lynch.
The sharpest tongue on TV as Sue Sylvester, Lynch is masterful in a role that
walks the tightrope of hilarity and dramatic resonance.
Who Will Win: Julie Bowen.
There’s no reason to suspect the Emmy veteran won’t succeed again.
GUEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES:
Molly Shannon, Enlightened,
HBO
Dot-Marie Jones, Glee, Fox
Melissa Leo, Louie, FX
Melissa McCarthy, Saturday Night
Live, NBC
Kristen Wiig, Saturday Night Live,
NBC
Elaine Stritch, 30 Rock, NBC
Who Deserves to Win: Dot-Marie
Jones. Jones has broken the mold & hearts with her fearless performance
of the compassionate Coach Beaste.
Who Will Win: Kristen Wiig.
Wiig’s final year on “S.N.L.” should bring the sentiment.
DIRECTING FOR COMEDY SERIES:
Girls, HBO
Glee, Fox
Louie, FX
Modern Family, ABC
30 Rock, NBC
Who Deserves to Win: Glee.
Truly one of the most tightly directed series on TV, they deserve the trophy.
“Shooting Star” was a definitive high-point for the show’s elaborate direction.
Who Will Win: Girls. The
number 1 pick among hipsters, the seedy comedy could take the prize.

appearances.
