More Emmy stuff

Following up on the discussion yesterday, here’s who’s rumored to have made the cut for the top 15 in the lead acting categories:

DRAMA ACTOR: Hank Azaria, "Huff"; Michael Chiklis, "The Shield"; Patrick Dempsey, "Grey's Anatomy"; Matthew Fox, "Lost"; James Gandolfini, "The Sopranos"; Michael C. Hall, "Six Feet Under"; Peter Krause, "Six Feet Under"; Anthony LaPaglia, "Without a Trace"; Hugh Laurie, "House"; Denis Leary, "Rescue Me"; Bill Paxton, "Big Love"; Martin Sheen, "The West Wing"; James Spader, "Boston Legal"; Kiefer Sutherland, "24"; Treat Williams, "Everwood"

DRAMA ACTRESS: Patricia Arquette, "Medium"; Kristen Bell, "Veronica Mars"; Frances Conroy, "Six Feet Under"; Geena Davis, "Commander-in-Chief"; Edie Falco, "The Sopranos"; Jennifer Garner, "Alias"; Gennifer Goodwin, "Big Love"; Mariska Hargitay, "Law & Order: SVU"; Allison Janney, "The West Wing"; Evangeline Lilly, "Lost"; Ellen Pompeo, "Grey's Anatomy"; Kyra Sedgwick, "The Closer"; Chloe Sevigny, "Big Love"; Jeanne Tripplehorn, "Big Love"; Polly Walker, "Rome"

COMEDY ACTOR: Jason Bateman,"Arrested Development"; Zach Braff,"Scrubs"; Steve Carell,"The Office"; Kevin Connelly,"Entourage"Larry David,"Curb Your Enthusiasm"Ricky Gervais,"Extras"Omar Gooding,"Barbershop"Fred Goss,"Sons & Daughters"Adrian Grenier,"Entourage"Kevin James,"King of Queens"Jason Lee,"My Name is Earl"Bernie Mac,"Bernie Mac Show"Eric McCormack,"Will & Grace"Tony Shalhoub,"Monk"Charlie Sheen,"Two and a Half Men"

COMEDY ACTRESS: Tichina Arnold,"Everybody Hates Chris"; Stockard Channing,"Out of Practice"; Marcia Cross,"Desperate Housewives"; Jenna Elfman,"Courting Alex"; Lauren Graham,"Gilmore Girls"; Teri Hatcher,"Desperate Housewives"; Felicity Huffman,"Desperare Housewives"; Jane Kaczmarek; "Malcolm in the Middle"; Lisa Kudrow,"The Comeback"; Eva Longoria,"Desperate Housewives"; Julia Louis-Dreyfus,"New Adventures of Old Christine"; Reba McEntire,"Reba"; Debra Messing,"Will & Grace"; Mary-Louise Parker,"Weeds"; Leah Remini,"King of Queens"

This is a good list, though not completely solid, if for no other reason than the astounding Mary McDonnell was left off for "Battlestar Galactica." (And Edward James Olmos for that matter.)

And apparently, "24" and "Six Feet Under" (yawn) are the other two dramas rumored to be in the top 10.
