I think I like most actors on both these lists. I'm really just looking out for Michael Emerson (Lost) for the men and he's already made it to the shortlist in the supporting category; I hope he's in the final one

I just have one question:
Why the Chi McBride snub, Emmy?

Final lists we're waiting for: Best Comedy Actor, Best Supporting Actress Comedy
