Outstanding Drama Series
Boston Legal-ABC
Grey's Anatomy-ABC
Heroes-NBC
House-Fox
The Sopranos-HBO
Who deserves to win: With legal dramas, medical drama and the mafia, Heroes is an exciting change to the conventional nominations.
Why it won't: Legal dramas, medical dramas, and the mafia are loved by almost all viewers. They are going to be hard to beat especially by a bunch of nerdy superheroes.
Who will win: The Sopranos has dominated the Emmy Awards since its debut. The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS) has always had a soft spot for popular shows in their final season. The Sopranos will win despite the terrible ending.
Lead Actor in a Drama Series
James Gandolfini-The Sopranos
Hugh Laurie-House
Denis Leary-Rescue Me
James Spader-Boston Legal
Kiefer Sutherland-24
Who deserves to win: James Gandolfini without a doubt. Gandolfini was able to make a despicable man likeable. That's extremely hard to do. How often do you find yourself rooting for a murderous adulterer?
Who will win: James Gandolfini
Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Minnie Driver-The Riches
Edie Falco- The Sopranos

The Office-NBC

Alec Baldwin-30 Rock
Steve Carell-The Office
Ricky Gervais-Extras

Julia Louis-Dreyfus- The New Adventures of Old Christine
