William Shatner is a part of television history, and his role on the legal drama Boston Legal proves that he is still part of the game. Shatner has been nominated for an Emmy Award four times in the past. In 1999, Shatner was nominated in the category of Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his guest role on 3^rd Rock From the Sun. In 2004, he was nominated and won the Emmy in the category of "Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series" for his role on The Practice. Shatner was also nominated in the category of "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series" for his work on Boston Legal in 2005 and 2006. He took home the Emmy Award in 2005.

T.R. Knight has never been nominated for an Emmy award. This year's nomination is his first. He has been nominated for two other entertainment awards along with his fellow castmates from "Grey's Anatomy." Knight has been playing the character of George on Grey's Anatomy since 2005.

Masi Oka has been playing the character of Hiro Nakamura on Heroes since 2006. This year marks Oka's first Emmy nomination for his performance. However, he has been nominated for a Golden Globe and several other entertainment awards.

And the winner is...

The expert's predict that The Sopranos will sweep the Emmys this year and according to them, the winner of the "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series" Emmy will also be a Sopranos cast member. I also agree with the experts, so it seems that Michael Imperioli will take home another Emmy on Sunday night.
