No doubt, Michael Ausiello at EW.com also picked Hugh Laurie as one of his best bets for the Emmy nominations for Best Lead Actor in a Drama series. Here is the list:



Best Lead Actor (Drama)
 
* Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights): His coach turned the misfits of East Dillon into champions. Surely that warrants an Emmy.
 
* Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad): I smell a three-peat.
 
* Michael C. Hall (Dexter): He killed as Dex tried (and failed) to have it all.
 
* Peter Krause (Parenthood): His character is flawed. His performance? Not so much.
 
* Hugh Laurie (House): Delivered the best work of his career in this season’s opener and closer.
 
* Timothy Olyphant (Justified): So strong, it’s dang near criminal.
 


Best Lead Actress (Drama)
 
* Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights) Carried the ball, never fumbling, even with a tricky abortion plot.
 
* Glenn Close (Damages): Showed us a devil of a time as Patty stared down her demons.
 
* Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad): The breakout performance of the year.
 
* Regina King (Southland) Simply put, the tube’s most complex female cop since… Yeah, I’m stumped too.
 
* Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife): Good? Try great.

* Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy): Season 2 sent Gemma to hell and back. Heavenly!

House Spoilers: Lisa Edelstein is in Ausiello's Dream Emmy Nominations

Michael Ausiello at EW.com has his dream Emmy nomination bets for Best Supporting Actor and Actress in a drama series.  Gladly and proudly, Lisa Edelstein is included in his list.  Though this has no basis, I just want to share it with you.  Here is the full list of Ausiello's Dream Emmy nominations:

Best Supporting Actress (Drama)

 
Khandi Alexander (Treme): Her work as a bar owner in post-Katrina New Orleans only makes us ask again, “CSI: Miami…why?”

Lisa Edelstein (House): Cuddy’s special day-in-the-life episode was a banner day indeed. And don’t even get me started on her beautifully restrained performance in the finale. On second thought, get me started.

Christina Hendricks (Mad Men): Should be confident on Emmy night, having shown us the vulnerability behind Joan’s swagger. She can also wield a vase like nobody’s business.

Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife): As Julianna Margulies’ sexually ambiguous sidekick, she suggests that behind every great woman is, frankly, another one.

Mae Whitman (Parenthood): Half of the most down-to-earth mother-daughter team since…well, you know.

Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood): When her Jessica’s good, she’s great. When she’s bad, she’s brilliant.

Best Supporting Actor (Drama)

 
Nestor Carbonell (Lost): Arguably the high point of the final season was “Ab Aeterno” and Carbonell’s career-defining work in it.

Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights): When Matt (spoiler alert!) lost his dad, his portrayer proved he was much more than just another pretty face.

John Noble (Fringe): Just when we thought his work as a mad scientist couldn’t get any better, the “Peter” episode aired.

Terry O’Quinn (Lost): His Man in Black/Smoke Monster was the first villain on the show to surpass creepy and get downright scary.

Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad): One word for you: “Fly.” If you don’t know what that means, how awful for you.

Martin Short (Damages): Short’s subtle work as the lawyer trying to protect the sins of his “father” was no laughing matter.
