Today's print edition of the The Envelope in the Los Angeles Times includes my detailed breakdown of the episodes submitted to Emmy judges by the nominees for best lead actor and actress in a comedy or drama series. Remember, every contender gets just one episode and they'll win or lose based upon how smart or dumb they were with the choices they made. I give the full breakdown HERE. Below a sample. To view Alec Baldwin's actual episode entry, click on the video below, which is linked via Hulu.com. Read our interview with Alec Baldwin, CLICK HERE.

ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock"

Episode: "Rosemary's Baby." While trying to help Tracy tame his rebellious nature, Jack (Baldwin) hires a therapist and agrees to role-play Tracy's family members.

Plus: Baldwin breaks into a dazzling riff of wacky jive while portraying Tracy's relatives as Redd Foxx/Fred Sanford ("Hey, dummy! I'm mad at you too!") and Jimmie Walker/J.J. ("Dyn-o-mite!").

Minus: No emotional range as Baldwin fails to show us Jack's tender side. Oh, that's right. Jack doesn't have one.
