I don’t watch Gray’s and am not familiar enough with the Soprano ladies to feel I can say a thing in the Supporting Actress category. It’s a toss-up for the two excellent Lost men, so I have to give it to O’Quinn who was robbed two years ago by Shatner. Though I love The Office, it’s a runner-up in every category next to Johnny Drama, Joy Turner, and The Girlie Show crew. And here’s hoping that Laurie can finally walk away with a well-earned kudo (though it wouldn’t surprise me if Fat Tony took one more). Go Kyra!
