The Emmys: A "Housewife" Gets A Nod

The supporting nominations are in and one of the “Desperate Housewives” did get a nod, but it was the one none of us would have predicted—Alfre Woodward. Interesting how the character that helped keep the show out of the Best Comedy race gets recognized. Maybe it was a reward for playing such a lousy character.

As for the drama nominees, I am so thrilled for Gregory Itzin, I can’t even see straight. And he has a good shot at a win, if he can get past Alan Alda.

Here’s the list:

Supporting Actress, Drama:
Candice Bergen, “Boston Legal”
Sandra Oh, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Chandra Wilson, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Blythe Danner, “Huff”
Jean Smart, “24”

Supporting Actor, Drama:
William Shatner, “Boston Legal”
Oliver Platt, “Huff”
Michael Imperioli, “The Sopranos”
Gregory Itzin, “24”
Alan Alda, “The West Wing”

Supporting Actress, Comedy:
Cheryl Hines, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
Alfre Woodward, “Desperate Housewives”
Elizabeth Perkins, “Weeds”
Jaime Pressley, “My Name Is Earl”
Megan Mullally, “Will & Grace”

Supporting Actor, Comedy:
Will Arnett, “Arrested Development”
Jeremy Piven, “Entourage”
Bryan Cranston, “Malcolm in the Middle”
Jon Cryer, “Two and a Half Men”
Sean Hayes, “Will & Grace”

I’ll have a complete Emmy analysis later tonight.

Stay tuned…
