Commentary
Robert Morse was nominated last year for Mad Men, and should get in again, as should veteran Bruce Dern in his stunning role in Big Love. I also think veterans Bob Newhart and Hal Holbrook will get in on name recognition for NCIS and Sons of Anarchy respectively. SVU has some nice potentials, with Irons having the most potential. I could also see some of the Parenthood guys getting in, if and only if the Emmy voters would recognize its brilliance (in all categories). Peter Weller and Jonny Lee Miller of Dexter were fantastic, were some of the guest stars of Burn Notice, especially good old Burt Reynolds. I also watch out for Emmy fave Beau Bridges, who was good the recently cancelled Brothers & Sisters.
