Last year's champ, Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock"), will probably face off again opposite perennial nominees Steve Carell ("The Office") and Charlie Sheen ("Two and a Half Men"), who've never won, and three-time champ Tony Shalhoub ("Monk").

Land of the Lost opportunities is more like it. The original Land of the Lost was a TV show filled with iconic silliness that still managed to scare me as a kid. Marshall, Will and Holly went over a ridiculous waterfall in a rubber raft only to end up in a world where their only friend was a hairy ape-boy named Chaka and they were terrorized by dinosaurs and slimy lizard men called Sleestaks.

I want to thank the fine people of Throwing Things for pointing out that the big Emmy ballot of submitted performances is out, and therefore derailing my work for the last hour as I pored over the list and tried, as I did last year , to come up with five nominees per category (even though there will be six nominees per category, voters can only select five at this stage), based on where the actors...

On the whole, even with a weak potential blockbuster,...
