...ASAT's Fake Emmy Ballot: Supporting Cast

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Michael Emerson for playing Benjamin Linus on Lost
Michael Imperioli for playing Christopher Moltisanti on The Sopranos
T.R. Knight for playing George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy
Masi Oka for playing Hiro Nakamura on Heroes
Terry O'Quinn for playing John Locke on Lost
William Shatner for playing Denny Crane on Boston Legal

I can't be bothered with Lost, Sopranos, or Grey's. I don't like Legal, either, but the Good Captain always deserves a nod. But I gotta give my vote to Oka for playing the coolest character on the coolest show.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Jon Cryer for playing Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men
Kevin Dillon for playing Johnny Drama on Entourage
Neil Patrick Harris for playing Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother
Jeremy Piven for playing Ari Gold on Entourage
Rainn Wilson for playing Dwight Schrute on The Office

This one comes down to Harris vs. Wilson. Both of them have their characters nailed, but I will go with Harris for evolving past Doogie Howser and creating the most likable sleazy womanizer since Dan Fielding.



Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Lorraine Bracco for playing Dr. Jennifer Melfi on The Sopranos
Rachel Griffiths for playing Sarah Whedon on Brothers & Sisters
Katherine Heigl for playing Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy
Sandra Oh for playing Cristina Yang on Grey's Anatomy
Aida Turturro for playing Janice Soprano on The Sopranos
Chandra Wilson for playing Miranda Bailey on Grey's Anatomy

Ugh. I don't care. I'll vote for Heigl cause of that boobalicious dress she wore last year. Next, please....



Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Conchata Ferrell for playing Berta on Two and a Half Men
Jenna Fischer for playing Pam Beesly on The Office
Elizabeth Perkins for playing Celia Hodes on Weeds
Jaime Pressly for playing Joy Turner on My Name Is Earl
Holland Taylor for playing Evelyn Harper on Two and a Half Men
Vanessa Williams for playing Wilhelmina Slater on Ugly Betty

Props to my fellow WVian Ferrell, but that show isn't really that funny. Fischer is great, too, but I'm pretending to vote for Pressly. She has the part nailed to a T, and, quite frankly, has done the most to make trailer trash uber-sexy since Britney Spears, circa 1999.
