My Emmy Ballot '07

*Lead Actress Drama Series
Patricia Arquette Medium
Minnie Driver The Riches
Edie Falco The Sopranos
Sally Field Brothers & Sisters
Mariska Hargitay Law & Order: SVU
Kyra Sedgwick The Closer

Will win: Mariska Hargitay, Should win: Sally Field or Mariska Hargitay
Mariska Hargitay's character, Detective Olivia Benson remained as fiery and strong willed as ever this past season. Benson reteamed with her partner Stabler this season after a shoot-out, and also found her brother who was being sought by police for sex crimes. Her emotions, much like that of a roller coaster give Hargitay a good acting workout and should give her the Emmy. As Nora Walker on Brothers & Sisters, we like Sally Field, we really really like her, and if Hargitay doesn't win, she definitely should.

*Lead Actor Drama Series
James Gandolfini The Sopranos
Hugh Laurie House
Denis Leary Rescue Me
James Spader Boston Legal
Kiefer Sutherland 24

Will win & Should win: James Gandolfini
Me: Hey Tony! You almost died but you pulled through, you protected your family, you're living the American Dream, and you're gonna win an Emmy!
Tony: "I told you my feelings, every day is a gift...It's just - does it have to be," an Emmy?

*Drama Series
Boston Legal
Grey's Anatomy
Heroes
House
The Sopranos

Will win & Should win: The Sopranos
An era is over but The Sopranos will win this award for the last time and deservedly so, it is probably one of the best American dramas. It definitely makes me feel proud to be an Italian American.
