1. I'm glad they went with The Wheel for Jon. He's absolutely amazing in that episode and I'm pretty sure he's gonna get an Emmy for it.

2. I'm surprised actually that Elisabeth is in the main category. I thought they'd consider her in the supporting role.

3. John Slattery is amazing, but sorry - team Vincent! I have no idea how real are his chances to get nominated, but IMO he fully deserves not only this but also to win. He gets overlooked too often and Pete would be nothing but a flat sleazeball without his performance.

4. I love Christina, but I'm gonna have to go with January. Betty was getting more and more layers with every new episode til that amazing climatic finale.

OMG!!!!

**Enigma** · 05-09-2008, 08:48 PM

Too funny.

Adorable.

Lexi - Yay, I'd love to hear what you think when you get done watching all the episodes.

The Wheel is a great entry for Jon but I would have argued for Hobo Code too which was brilliant. Hobo Code owns all in my eyes though.

Moss may have had a better shot in the supporting actress category, but I think she has a shot.

Go VK. That ep was definitely a nice showcase for him. It would have been hard for me to pick.

John...........eh........I guess. That definitely was the right ep for him. But, I'm not rooting for him like I am for several of the others.

Hamm is a lock and it's well deserved. But, I'm especially really rooting for VK and Moss to get some love. I think they do have a shot.

I can see January getting a nod as well possibly.

**~DresdenDoll~** · 05-10-2008, 12:55 AM

I'm surprised John's even considered. To be honest I always thought of him more in terms of guest starring than a supporting character

Ain't gonna lie - I'm gonna be extremely disappointed and a bit mad if he gets nominated and not VK.

That speech Jon was giving really did sound like he surfed a bit to check what we say about Vincent

Especially that "mostly sober" part

They both cracked me up, they're awesome! And Vincent was his usual a bit rambling self which truly is all kinds of adorable!

**Enigma** · 05-10-2008, 07:52 AM

I feel the same Do. If he gets nominated over VK I will be ticked.

They both had me rolling. And it's so funny seeing them like that because I automativally think of the Pete/Don relationship which is such a different dynamic.

**~DresdenDoll~** · 05-10-2008, 07:57 AM

For real! And it's not even question of me being a fan or anything. I just truly think that John doesn't fit the category even if he's excellent.

You can definitely tell it's a cast that gets along really well. I love that there were quite a few of them there to support Vincent. It's just sweet!

JCS · 05-10-2008, 09:19 AM

Slattery crushed me in "Long Weekend", I´ll admit that. He is an amazing actor. But so is Vincent which he have really proved in this show. I am rooting for him so much. Slattery only got guest-role so far. I hope it will be more in season 2, but I don´t get why they should nominate someone with a guest-role as supporting cast.

I don´t dare to watch the video. Eeek. I´ll wait til I am off work, on monday. They cheered right? Right?
Did Hamm say he was 14?

OMG. I cannot wait. My little cutiepie

**~DresdenDoll~** · 05-10-2008, 11:14 AM

Of course they cheered, why wouldn't they? Vincent was all "I've got a lot of friends in the audience" or something like that

It was definitely the right submission for him. But, I agree......I consider him a guest star and not a supporting role.
