I really like Sympathy for the Devil!
I think Ellen Pompeo really deservs it. She made a great job in this season. She always do. She's just an amazing actress. For me she's the best actress ever.
Supporting Actress: Katherine Heigl, Chandra Wilson, Sandra Oh! They made a great job. But i would also be happy with Chyler Leigh. But I think Katherine, Chandra and Sandra deserv it more than the others.
Supporting Actor: Patrick Dempsey! He did a brilliant job playing dark&twisty Derek. But Justin Chambers would deserve it, too. Because I think he made his best season ever.
Gues Actress: For me 100% Kate Walsh! She's a great actress and I miss her so much in the show. I was so happy when she came as a guest actress.
Guest Actor: Eric Stoltz, Jeffrey Dean Morgan! Eric played his role so great. And Jeffrey Dean Morgan was a great ghost of Denny.

I can't find Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the offical list! This are the only listed actors: Grey's Anatomy (George Coe)
Grey's Anatomy (Hector Elizondo)
Grey's Anatomy (Ben Shenkman)
Grey's Anatomy (Eric Stoltz)
What happened?
Actually, the guest stars official submissions have changed.
According to the link provided:
The following posts on this page now contain all of the contenders from the actual Emmy Awards ballots released last night. These are the official lists (with category changes by several people and quite a few situations where actors/actresses did not submit their names for the ballot).
Guest actor in a drama series:
Grey's Anatomy (George Coe)
Grey's Anatomy (Hector Elizondo)
Grey's Anatomy (Ben Shenkman)
Grey's Anatomy (Eric Stoltz)
No JDM and Bernadette Peters was missing.
@Caroline, the ballot process comes in two phases. Right now they just finished the first, where the Academy members place the actors/writers/directors that were submitted for consideration. Right now the Academy gets the votes for the final 5 or 6 that are going to be announced in the July 16th ceremony where the nominations are announced.
Probably JDM didn't get enough votes or he was eliminated during this process or JDM never submitted his name and it was an assumption. Can't really say how this works since the Academy works closed doors, so I'm assuming that it could be any of those choices.
I'm going to sound like a horrible person but I really want Maura Tierney (Abby on ER) to take the Supporting Actress Emmy. Either her or Sandra. Those are the only two choices I'm preparing to see.

Sure bets:
- Grey's for Drama Series
- Eric Stoltz AND Jeffrey Dean Morgan for Guest Actor
- Justin Chambers for Supporting Actor
- Katherine Heigl for Supporting Actress
Doubtful:
- Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson (only if they don't find anybody else... but they've been nominated before...)
- I honestly think James Pickens, Jr. has a shot this year
- If Ellen was running for supporting, she'd be a shoe-in. In Lead... Meh.
- Kevin McKidd has a shot (it depends on which episode they submitted for him to be considered)
I don't know... Not feeling that Sandra and Chandra will be considered. I bet Heigl, Rachel Griffiths (Brothers&Sisters), Marcia Gay Harden (Damages), Lisa Edelstein (House) and Diane Wiest/Hope Davis/Alison Phil (In Treatment) will be the nominees.
And as for Ellen. I believe she'll be considered or she'll be in their shortlist at the very least. Sally Field, Glenn Close, Elizabeth Moss, Anna Paquin, Holly Hunter, January Jones, Kyra Sedgwick, Patricia Arquette... All of them are TRUE leads OR have more screen time than Ellen. But we shall see. If they submit «Sympathy for the Devil» as her FYC clip I think she definitely has a chance.

But if Ellen was running for Best Supporting Actress category, she would face tough competition from her own fellow Grey's cast members....(Katherine, Sandra, Chandra)

I am finding it a bit hard to fathom why Patrick Dempsey can put himself forward in the supporting actor category. Wasn't he the on pictured cutting the 100th episode celebration cake? Also couldn't he put himself forward in the guest star category for his appearance on Private Practice; hasn't Kate Walsh put herself forward for the guest actor award for when she returned to GA this season? I find the Emmy set up just wierd
Ellen can't submit herself as Supporting. It'd mean that Grey's Anatomy is just...Anatomy?
@JFCR, Actors are not allowed to submit episodes until they are officially nominated for the Emmy. That means that if their names are announced on July 16th, they'll be able to submit their episodes.
Also, JDM's name has been removed from the guest star Emmys nomination ballot. He's no longer avaible for nomination.
@jukk, I understand your frustation. Although I have finally understood his motives. He really doesn't stand a chance agaist Hugh Laurie or Jon Hamm, in terms of airtime to be consider at the Leading Actor. He has the talent but I can't really see what's the point of pushing him back.
And yeah...why didn't he submit himself as a guest star on PP?
This could actually be PD's choice of not to be consider for this Emmy.

@anuflas - But if they can't submit their episodes till July 16th, if they're nominated, then what were they submitting recently? If the actors didn't even submit anything, then what the hell does the Emmy voters judge when they're deciding their nominees? They won't have anything to judge since the episodes can't be submitted till the actors are nominated. What?? This doesn't make sence.
@pniie - There is no official reason for this. It might have been the Academy's choice to do it this way, this year. They may have to judge almost 50 diferent actors (if not more) and the actors usually submit 2 to 3 episodes to be judged...you do the math. This information was provided by one insider at the Emmys, so it might be the reason why it wasn't in the Rules & Procedures document.
According to the Emmys Official Rules and Procedures (it's an awfully long 69 page document but here's a summary about it) here are the rules for the performers (in case that someone is in doubt about who gets to submit in Lead, Supporting and Guest - especially on PD's case).
ENTRY INFORMATION:
It is the decision of the entrant whether to enter as a lead or supporting performer (So yeah, it was PD's choice to submit himself as supporting). Series performers
should enter according to their lead or supporting place in the body of work aired during the eligibility year. However, only those performers with “guest star” billing, or who are contracted as such, may enter in a “guest” performer category. While the performer's choice is generally approved,
the Primetime Awards Committee determines the final category eligibility.
Haha, I just noticed that there is an Emmy for Voice Over Narrations...shouldn't Ellen be also in there?
Is there really a category for Voice Over Narrations? If so, Ellen HAS to be nominated for that. She does them so well and even though I've heard people say her voice is winey I don't think so at all. I love her voice and think she adds so much to the show.
And, come on, how great was that "did you say it" voice over at the season finale. I still cry every time I hear her say that one.
Episode: I liked both of these, it's just that I think there were others that were much better. In my opinion, Not Good At Saying Sorry (One More Chance), Now Or Never and Elevator Love Letter were amazing. These were my favourites.
I think the lead actress nominations should be:
Ellen Pompeo
Sandra Oh
Best Direction:
Grey’s Anatomy (“Elevator Love Letter” – Edward Omelas)
Grey’s Anatomy (“Now or Never” – Rob Corn)
Grey’s Anatomy (“Stairway to Heaven” – Allison Liddi)
Best Writing:
Grey’s Anatomy (“No Good at Saying Sorry” – Krista Vernoff)
Grey’s Anatomy (“What a Difference a Day Makes” – Shonda Rhimes)
