I do think Julia Louis Dreyfuss will win -- but what about Lee Pace for Best actor for Pushing Daisies?

I think Zeljko Ivanek has a better shot than Emerson because his suicide episode is one of the strongest performances I saw last year. I hope Glen Close changes her submission episode to something other than the pilot (which I think they can do) or I think Kyra Sedgwick might take the emmy from her.
