Best Television Series - Drama
Boardwalk Empire (HBO)
Dexter (SHOWTIME)
The Good Wife (CBS)
Mad Men (AMC)
The Walking Dead (AMC)
Not sure what Dexter and The Walking Dead are doing on the list while Breaking Bad is again ignored. I would have chosen Lost for the genre show.
Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series - Drama
Julianna Margulies – The Good Wife (CBS)
Elisabeth Moss – Mad Men (AMC)
Piper Perabo – Covert Affairs (USA)
Katey Sagal – Sons Of Anarchy (FX)
Kyra Sedgwick – The Closer (TNT)
Piper Perabo really sticks out among much more accomplished actresses. I like her on Covert Affairs, but the show doesn't have the depth of material to come even close to the others. On the other hand, Katey Sagal was recognized.
