Honestly, out of all of these submissions, I hope Justin Chambers recieves a nomination..or even a win! That episode where he talks to Meredith about how "This is not how Izzie and me are supposed to make a baby." is a memorable moment on the series. I hope that was some of the work he submitted. Good luck to all of the actors/actresses and to the series!!

My predictions:
Supporting Actress: Chandra Wilson (she's always brillant)
Supporting Actor:Justin Chambers (season 5 best acting ever!!!!)
Guest actor: Eric Stoltz (my god anyone who can play a serial killer and make it believeable is amazing!)
Best Drama Series: Grey's Anatomy (duh it's one of the only dramas I watch)
I don't think anyone from the guest actress stood out for me and Ellen Pompeo is a really good actress but other actresses in the series (Chandra Wilson,Katherine Heigl, and Sandra Oh) outshone her this season so I think she shouldn't win this year (no offence to all the Mer fans I still like Meredith but she's not the mer from S1 or S2 that I really liked)

I think Ellen SHOULD be considered THE lead actress in Grey's. Without her there is no show. And her acting this season ROCKED!!!
You can tell I'm a DIE-HARD Mer fan and always will be!!!

I totally agree with Wannabemer!!!

I think they should have submitted "Elevator Love Letter" instead of "Sympathy for the Devil". That episode is, to me, much better. As for "Stairway to Heaven" - obvious choice. That episode was just outstanding. Brilliant performances by the cast.
Lead actress:
I think Ellen should recieve a nom here(obviously) there's no one else on Grey's else in that category so, who else is there to get a nom in this category..? No, but she has done a great season. Just give the woman some recognition - she deserve it so much after all this time.
Supporting actress:
Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson - both deserve it as hell. They've brought so much to the show and the fact that none of them has won an Emmy yet is just ridiculous. Both should defenitely get a nom, but I can't pick between these two of who I think should win, both should get an Emmy.
Supporting actor:
I would say Patrick Dempsey, he did a brilliant job playing dark&twisty Derek and he should really get some recognition. But Kevin McKidd has brought something special to the show this season. He's done a fabolous job playing Owen. I feel like he has a better chance, but I'm all for Patrick so I'm hoping for him. Justin chambers was great too though.
Guest actress:
Sharon Lawrence. She was just terrific.
Guest actor:
Eric Stoltz!

I'm sorry.... Jessica Capshaw?

I really like the "Sympathy for the Devil" episode. Everyone done a great job there. Out of those supporting actors/actresses, Mary McDonnell's Virginia Dixon is the only one that appeals to me.
