Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Alec Baldwin – 30 Rock – “Respawn”
Steve Carell – Office – “Goodbye, Michael”
Louis C.K. – Louie – “Bully”
Johnny Galecki – The Big Bang Theory – “The Benefactor Factor”
Matt LeBlanc – Episodes – “Episode Seven”
Jim Parsons – The Big Bang Theory – “The Agreement Dissection”

This should be the shortest post yet:  Steve Carell is winning this.

Steve Carell should win this too.  Not only is his episode excellent, but he’s done a great job over the past 7 years.   He needs to win once for this iconic roll and the voters won’t pass him up.

Alec Baldwin is hilarious, though not his best episode of the season, but I hope he doesn’t win cause the blow back would be so big for him.  He can go back to winning next year.

Jim Parsons and Louie C.K. could win.  Parsons is still really funny and C.K. offers something different and moving.  Maybe next year when Carell is gone.

Galecki is a nice nomination, he does good work but gets overshadowed by Parsons showier character.   So its nice to see him included.

Matt LeBlanc’s spot should have gone to Joel McHale in Community…

Rankings:
Steve Carell – 90%
Jim Parsons – 3%
Louie C.K. – 3%
Alec Baldwin – 2%
Johnny Galecki – 1%
Matt LeBlanc – 1%

Alec Baldwin was on the Late Show with David Letterman last night.  Here’s the interview:

TV Guide released a list of the highest paid actors for the new TV Season.  Obviously these figures are hard to get and the list is far from complete, but it reports Tina and Alec towards the top of the Comedy list.  In fact, Tina is the highest paid comedy actress at $350,000 per episode (3rd over all.)  Alec comes in 4th at $300,000 per episode.

Obviously these figures are really rough, and I expect Tina makes a lot more when you include writing/producing/creating/syndication and all that.

- Full list

Alec Baldwin has been tapped to host his 16th episode of Saturday Night Live for the shows 37th Season Premiere.  The show will air on September 24th.  Alec will jump ahead into the lead for most episodes hosted, breaking his tie with Steve Martin.  It should be a great episode! Maybe while the other stars wait for 30 Rock to resume they could show up too – Link

Hey I’m back finally and catching up on some old news…

Lorne Michaels says 30 Rock should and will continue without Alec Baldwin if he decides to leave next season.  Critics and fans everywhere have weighed in on this news, but what do you guys think?  Could 30 Rock make it sans Baldwin?

Good Morning Friends! Emmy Nominations are in! I’m going to post the big ones here, and you can see all at the Emmy Website.

Feel free to discuss as well. I’m a bit shocked by some of these…
