It’s such a stacked category that the easy thing to do would be to insist on only one actor per category, but as I said at the start of this year’s project, that ain’t happening with the two “Breaking Bad” guys. It’s one where I could come up with at least six different ballots without any duplication and feel that every nominee was 100% worthy. But I’m not sure I can remember a year where I agonized over my final cut in this category the way I did this year. “Breaking Bad” was ineligible for one year didn’t make it easier. “The Wire” went away didn’t make it easier. Dan’s predictions are here, and my picks are coming right up…Įvery year, this category is the hardest to winnow down. This time up, we’re dealing with the candidates for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. And, as always, we are working off of the actual Emmy ballot, so we can’t consider people who didn’t submit themselves, nor can we reassign anyone to a more suitable or easier category. I’ll pretend that I have an Emmy ballot and make my picks for the six actors or shows I would put on my ballot, while Dan will rank the potential nominees from most likely to least. As always, Fienberg and I are going to approach things in two ways. Okay, it’s part 3 of our look at the Emmy nominations process for 2012.
