Emmys: Long shots you will root for?

Emmy nominations will be announced Thursday morning at 8:35 a.m. ET. You can watch Mike & Molly‘s Melissa McCarthy and Fringe‘s Joshua Jackson do the honors on Emmys.com. Our critic Ken Tucker has posted both his predictions of who will be nominated, and his dream ballot of who should be nominated. For argument’s sake, let’s think about anything NOT on his predictions list a longshot. Which longshot are you rooting for most?

I’ve already emailed Ken to tell him that his predictions made me angry with the Academy and they haven’t even snubbed Justified‘s Timothy Olyphant yet. He’s on Ken’s wish list, but he thinks Olyphant just makes slipping into Raylan Givens’ hat and dry humor look too simple for voters. Also not among Ken’s predictions: potential comedy supporting actor nominees Danny Pudi (Community) and Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation). Those omissions would seriously depress me. Pudi’s pop culture-loving Abed is the reason we first purchased into Community‘s theme episodes, which are generally the ideal episodes of the series, and while Joel McHale’s Jeff is the leader of the study group, it’s Abed who is its heart. There’s a reason the audience relates most to the character that’s supposed to be the most socially awkward — credit Pudi’s performance. Pudi didn’t make Ken’s wish list (he’s pulling for Community‘s Chevy Chase to make this category), but Offerman — along with his castmates Chris Pratt and Adam Scott — did. If Parks and Recreation earns its first Outstanding Comedy nom — which it should — it’d be a shame not to see one of these guys (preferably Offerman, who’s made Ron Swanson as signature as Jane Lynch did Glee‘s Sue Sylvester) make the Academy’s cut.
