Your predictions are almost the same as mine :D
Things we disagree:
- I think Big Love will be nominated for B. Drama Series instead of The Good WIfe (or hopefully Damages).
- Either Dean Norris or John Goodman will be nominated, I guess it will be Goodman.
- Sadly, I believe Khandi Alexander or Christine Baranski will take Christina Hendrick's spot (I wish they would replace Rose Byrne...)
- I guess Thomas Jane won't be nominated. Larry David will (I wish he would take Shalhoub's spot)
- Somehow I don't see them snubbing Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She will get Lea Michele's spot. Also, I have a strange feeling that they might like Ullman...
- I think they'll nominate Tracy Morgan instead of Jon Cryer and, unfortunately, Ed O'Neill instead of Jeremy Piven.
- Finally, I believe that Vanessa Williams will take Jane Krakowski's spot.
However, it will be great if your predictions really happen!

I'm pretty sure Campbell Scott isn't eligible under the Supporting Actor (Drama) category. I think he was entered as a guest actor.
