We’ve been asking for your take on a few of the 2011 Emmy categories and now it’s our turn to make our own predictions – starting with the comedy categories.
The 2011 Emmy Awards could make for some some surprises in the comedy categories as there are newcomers, old favorites and a few shocks nominated this year.
That being said, we feel confident in our predictions this year. Without further ado, here’s our pics for Outstanding Comedy Series, Lead Actor/Actress and Supporting Actor/Actress.
COMEDY SERIES
While the fanatic in us wants to say Glee will take the Emmy (it may have hit its awards stride in big cateories), we have to go with the 2010 champ on this one – Modern Family.
The only dark horse we see riding up along side Modern Family could be The Big Bang Theory based on last year’s winner, Jim Parsons (Lead Actor).
LEAD ACTOR
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Louis C.K., Louie
Johnny Galecki, The Big Bang Theory
Matt Leblanc, Episodes
Steve Carell took his final bow as the leader of The Office this year and something tell us the voters will be sentimental towards the actor.
Not that he doesn’t deserve the Emmy, but we would like to see Jim Parson’s take it again.
LEAD ACTRESS
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Amy Poehler, Parks and Recreation
*Laura Linney, The Big C
Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
Martha Plimpton, Raising Hope
Melissa McCarthy, Mike & Molly
When nominated, The Big C’s Laura Linney doesn’t lose, people – enough said. Her track record speaks for itself.
We are pulling for our own prediction to be wrong, as we’d love to watch Melissa McCarthy shock the hell out of everyone and walk away a first-time winner!
SUPPORTING ACTOR
Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family
Ty Burrell, Modern Family
Ed O’Neill, Modern Family
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Modern Family
Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men
*Chris Colfer, Glee
With all those Modern Family boys nominated, the voters are bound to get confused.
We think think the young man who always seems to surprise us will cancel out the Modern Family stars – Chris Colfer of Glee will take the Emmy.
SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Sofia Vergara, Modern Family
Julie Bowen, Modern Family
Jane Lynch, Glee
*Betty White, Hot in Cleveland
Kristin Wiig, Satruday Night Live
Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock
Do we even have to tell you who’s taking this category? Betty White is our favorite for anything she’s nominated for and the voters love her. Host Jane Lynch won last year and will give Betty a run for her money, but it’s going to White.
Check out the 2011 Emmy Awards tonight (Sept. 18) when Jane Lynch hosts live.
You know you want to see if our predictions are right!
