55th Annual Emmy Award Nominations are out.
Here are my picks from the categories I care about:

Outstanding Comedy Series - Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I love this show and can not wait for it to return.

Outstanding Drama Series - For me it's between Six Feet Under, The Sopranos and 24 - I choose 24.
I watch them all, but would be most upset if I missed an episode of 24.

Outstanding Miniseries - Steven Spielberg Presents Taken
There
were a lot of episodes of this miniseries in a row, but I watched them all and enjoyed them all too. Taken was the best science fiction miniseries I've ever seen.

Outstanding Nonfiction Program (Alternative) - Da Ali G Show • HBO
Ali G rocks and I hope we get to see more of him on US TV. This show is 'Nonfiction'? That's a funny one.

Outstanding Reality/Competition Program - The Amazing Race or American Idol - I'd have to choose The Amazing Race.
I'm glad this show is on in the summer when there's less competition. My favorite thing is to pause my TiVo and try to decide what I would do as each situation arises.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series - It's a tie!
Curb Your Enthusiasm • HBO • HBO Original Programming
Larry David as Himself

Monk • USA • Mandeville Films, Inc. in association with Touchstone Television
Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk

The winners of this category have got to be a tie between Larry Davin and Tony Shalhoub. If I had to choose between them, I'd go with Tony since he's acting and Larry is just being himself, I think.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series:
Six Feet Under • HBO • The Greenblatt/Janollari Studios and Actual Size, Inc. in aassociation with HBO Original Programming
Peter Krause as Nate Fisher
He's so good it's scary.

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series
Alias • ABC • Touchstone Television
Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow
No contest.

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series
Curb Your Enthusiasm • HBO • HBO Original Programming
Cheryl Hines as Cheryl David
Cheryl is so good in this role that people think she's married to Larry in real life!

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series
Six Feet Under • HBO • The Greenblatt/Janollari Studios
and Actual Size, Inc. in aassociation with HBO Original Programming
Lauren Ambrose as Claire Fisher.
She's amazing.
