I’d think Keifer Sutherland would be lead on “Touch”.

Andre Braugher is still eligible for next year. The last 6 episodes of Men of a Certain Age aired this summer.

Noah Wyle is the lead on Falling Skies.

Dylan McDermott is probably lead on American Horror Story.

Also, are Glenn Close and Rose Byrne eligible? Since it’s not viewable unless you have DirectTV? Wonder what the Emmy rules are about this…

^Well, Friday Night Lights was eligible this year too. So why shouldn’t Damages?

Kelsey Grammer needs to be added. He’s the lead in Boss.

The fact that Boss gets renewed for season 2 even before the first season airs means the show must at least be good enough. And there were four network bidding for the show before Starz won it, so this coveted show must be up to snuff.

 

If the show gets really positively reviewed, it can easily break into Drama Series. The political thriller competes at Emmy in an election year. Well, The Good Wife must be damned.

Really hope to see Zooey get some notice for “New Girl.” She’s a treat.

I hope Kiefer gets into Lead. If he does, he’ll have more lead emmy noms than Martin Sheen and James Gandolfini.
