It's not a bad list, but I'm curious why Arrested Development would be nominated. It hasn't been aired for a long time. Wasn't it canceled long ago?

Netflix just began airing a new fourth season of Arrested Development. If Netflix original programming is eligible, then there is an opportunity for new Arrested Development to be nominated.

Watch Veronica Mars!

Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black for Lead Actress Drama

I'm not sure whee Enlightened belongs but Laura Dern deserves to be there in whatever category.

Melissa McCarthy isn't on a show that's that groundbreaking and I can see her get bumped. I'm honestly not a humongous fan of her anyways.

I think Ed O'Neill should be pushed for lead.

I think Bill Hader will definitely get up there.

I think Arrested Development will be eligible.

I'd like to see Rainn Wilson get in there and possiblly James van der Beek and Casey Wilson because she's from my hometown!

Is there any chance Rainn could go for lead.

There really are a great number of supporting actors in comedy and therefore I really hope they shake things up a little. I think Stonestreet, Ed O. and Ty Burell are great but do we need Jesse Tyler Furgueson.

I hate Community but I think Joel McHale might be a better choice for that category than Don Cheadle, Louis CK (who basically plays himself), and Jim Cryer

Do you know when the Emmys are announced?
