There is a spirited debate in our Emmy forum over which will be the biggest surprise when nominations for the 61st annual Emmy Awards are announced on July 16.

UPitt said, "Jill Scott (Best Lead Actress) and Anika Noni Rose (Best Supporting Actress) nominations for 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' (Best Drama Series)."
MissyGal said, "John Corbett in the lead comedy actor category for 'United States of Tara.' "
GPenn said, "Katherine Heigl making it into the supporting actress race and being the only 'Grey's' girl to do it."
Zembla said, "I don't know if it will get that many, but I do think 'Mad Men' will increase its acting nominations by a lot this year."
Boidiva2 said, "a rejuvenated 'Brothers & Sisters' getting more nods than it's ever gotten before."

The cast from Big Love needs a lot of love from Emmy this year. I would love to see Jeanne Tripplehorn and Chloe Sevigny recognized for their great work in this phenomenal season. I'm a big fan of other HBO shows but I think that Big Love is their best work. Both True Blood and Big Love deserve to go head to head on Emmy night.

Jenny calm down!!! Katherine Heigl DID NOT act circles around either Chandra Wilson nor Sandra Oh, both of whom are far better actors than Heigl EVER could dream of being. No, what Heigl had going in her favor this season is material, not more talent. There's a big damn difference! Hell, even Sharon Stone managed to act her way to an Emmy on "The Practice" thanks to David E. Kelly's unparalleled brilliance. If he writes it, Emmy will come a knocking! If he were writing "Grey's" the entire cast would have been up for Emmy gold by now and chances are Wilson & Oh would be dominating the supporting actress - drama series race like Sharon Gless & Tyne Daly did in the lead actress - drama series category while starring on "Cagney & Lacey" back in the '80s. Oh would have won for the 1st and 2nd seasons (who'll ever forget her magnificient meltdown after being left at the alter by Burke?), and Wilson would have won for the third season, and most especially the 4th season which she totally owned.

Katherine Heigl... I sure hope NOT!!! If discussing "Grey's", Sandra Oh, or Chandra Wilson deserve it much more.More so within this category, Chloe Sevigny for BIG LOVE would be a more deserving nominee.
