I am US Office fan and hope everything and everyone from the show is up for a Emmy.

Brothers & Sisters better get some EMMY love.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for "Dexter" & "Brothers & Sisters" which are brilliantly scripted.

Apart from those series cast I hope some people from Lost - Liz Mitchell anyone - wind up on the ballott. Oh and I absolutely LOVED season 3 of Grey's Anatomy which had some verrrry strong episodes.

Brothers & Sisters isn't in the Top 10 for Drama Series?? WHAT?

More acting finalists confirmed!

I wished ER got some love. The show had a creative renaissance but it's likely only FW will get rewarded. It's a shame but it's an old show and they never reward them much so oh well.

I am hoping for these to be the nods in all lead categories:

Friday Night Lights (Pilot)

Heroes (Genesis)

House (Half-Wit)

24 (Day 6: 6am-7am)

LEAD ACTOR, DRAMA

I will make an official list of my predictions and what I would like later but these are my initial thoughts.

How is sally field not nominated, she can mop the floor with all of those nominees???

ITA - it seems Emmy voters are shunning B&S for some strange reason. WTF? Sally Field is soooooo Emmy worthy.

Only five spots have been filled for Lead Actress in a Drama. There's 5 spots left so Sally still had a chance to make the Pre-Noms.
