MODERN FAMILY (ABC)
BEST SERIES – DRAMA
* “Boardwalk Empire” (HBO)
* “Dexter” (Showtime)
* “The Good Wife” (CBS)
* “Mad Men” (AMC)
* “The Walking Dead” (AMC)
Linda: The best new series of the year — of the past several years, in fact. From concept to execution (no pun intended) this show blows away every drama series. It’s the first time that you actually feel something for zombies.
BEST ACTRESS –DRAMA
* Julianna Marguilies, “The Good Wife”
* Elisabeth Moss, “Mad Men”
* Piper Perabo, “Covert Affairs”
* Katey Sagal, “Sons of Anarchy”
* Kyra Sedgwick, “The Closer”
Linda: She’s the only one who actually has done some acting this season. Brilliant.
BEST ACTOR – DRAMA
* Steve Buscemi, “Boardwalk Empire”
* Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad”
* Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”
* Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”
* Hugh Laurie, “House”
Linda: Overlooked and under-appreciated, Laurie brings freshness to a miserable character every week.
BEST SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
* “30 Rock” (NBC)
* “The Big Bang Theory” (CBS)
* “The Big C” (Showtime)
* “Glee” (Fox)
* ”Modern Family” (ABC)
* “Nurse Jackie” (Showtime)
Linda: Hilarious…
and when “Glee” decided that it was logical for giant stars to drop by to judge high school singing contests, they lost me!
BEST ACTRESS – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
* Toni Collette, “United States of Tara”
* Edie Falco, “Nurse Jackie”
*Tina Fey, “30 Rock”
* Laura Linney, “The Big C”
* Lea Michele, “Glee”
Linda: “Tara” and “Jackie” are preposterous dramas, while Fey makes preposterous comedy hilarious.
BEST ACTOR – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
* Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”
* Steve Carell,
“The Office”
* Thomas Jane, “Hung”
* Matthew Morrison, “Glee”
* Jim Parsons, “The Big Bang Theory”
Linda: Baldwin rocks and knocks everyone else out of the contest.
BEST MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE
* “Carlos” (Sundance)
* “The Pacific” (HBO)
* “Pillars of the Earth” (Starz)
* “Temple Grandin” (HBO)
* “You Don’t Know Jack” (HBO)
Linda: Fantastic. Probably the most realistic depiction of an era ever in a miniseries.
