Jensen on short list for Emmy

Jensen Ackles is on the short list for the Best Actor Emmy. "Short list" is a relative term, seeing as there are 57 people on that list. But still, it's a great honor, and I'm so glad to see Jensen starting to get some of the accolades he deserves. Now, if we can just get people to start noticing Jared's talent, too.

Considering who usually wins (and it's usually the same shows over and over), I don't see him actually winning, but wouldn't it kick ass to see him nominated and hear it on the broadcast?

Maybe we'd finally get more ad time on our own network.....

Well, I hate to rain on your parade, but this is the same list that includes Chad Michael Murray and Josh Duhamel from those powerhouse dramas "One Tree Hill" and "Las Vegas," and we certainly know Jared is better than either of them. I *think* these may be the actors who submitted nominations. But then again, I could be way off base.

Mind if I make some predictions having gone throught the list? I think 5 of the follow 6 will be nominated:
1. James Spader, Boston Legal
2. Jonathon Rhys-Meyers, The Tudors
3. Michael C. Hall, Dexter
4. Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
5. Hugh Laurie, House
6. Edward James Olmos, Battlestar Gallactica

Oh golly, what if Patrick Dempsey is nominated just because he's on the overrated Grey's Anatomy? *pardon me while I barf*

As good great fabulous as Jensen is, I don't think he'll be nominated until he's on a mainstream hit. D:

That's the list of all the shows who've submitted nominations right?

Man, I would love for Jensen to make the actual short list. But I wonder, has a "genre" show lead ever done that?

Now, if we can just get people to start noticing Jared's talent, too. - *i* notice!

...oh, you meant people who can actually DO something about it...

it's unfortunate that all the awards are still so freakin' political. :(

Oh how I wish Jensen would actually be nominated.

I know it's about as likely as a snowball's chance in Hell, considering who else is on the list, but STILL. Talk about two actors who are seriously underrated and completely talented.

Now, if we can just get people to start noticing Jared's talent, too.

Hell. Yes. *grrr*

This actually isn't the short list for the Emmy nominations yet. It's the first round of picking nominations. To get on the list, all Jensen had to do was fill out a form, and send it and an episode he thought was his best work in the last year in to the Academy. If he makes it through this round of voting, then he's on the short list. That's why so many people are on the list... They all submitted their name and work for consideration. So everyone who is eligible to vote for it got the ballot and copies of the episodes to watch (not that most of them will get watched), and they'll vote for up to 10 people/shows in each category that they think are worthy of the nomination. After it's narrowed down to 10 in each category with the most votes, it moves to the second round, which is the same thing over again as far as I know, narrowing it down to 5 in each category. Those 5 become the nominees. And then there's a final round of voting to determine the winners.

That's what I read about the process somewhere on the web earlier today...

Hey, anonymous, Glad for you to join the conversation, but it's generally considered best to identify yourself in some way. And what are you basing your opinions on?
