Let’s keep this truck rolling!

Nominees for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series are:

• Steve Buscemi as Nucky Thompson in Boardwalk Empire
• Bryan Cranston as Walter White in Breaking Bad
• Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan in Dexter
• Hugh Bonneville as Robert, Earl of Grantham in Downton Abbey
• Damian Lewis as Nicholas Brody in Homeland
• Jon Hamm as Don Draper in Mad Men

Honestly, I’d give Jon Hamm an Emmy if he wore those pants, but I doubt he will. Sigh. He’s quick becoming the Susan Lucci of the primetime Emmys. Been nominated four times without a win and but I do think this is his year. Bryan Cranston will get it NEXT year after the final season of Breaking Bad, Kyle Chandler in Friday Night Lights-style, as his swan song. The other shows have a few more seasons (I hope) so I think Jon is due his Emmy. But only if he wears his pants.
