A few interesting comments based on the ballots...
Lee Pace & Anna Friel of Pushing Daisies DID get submitted after all. Maybe their reps read our comments on here and put in the fast paperwork at the last moment.
Jason Segel NOT submitted for How I Met Your Mother (very surprising given his recent film success).
Saturday Night Live got around the lack of variety performance and submitted Justin Timberlake and Tina Fey in the comedy guest acting categories (no other hosts from this season, believe it or not).
Tracey Ullman and the Little Britain guys also got around the variety performance problem by submitting in the comedy supporting categories (even though they are the stars of their shows).
All of the original E.R. cast members are submitted as guest stars (even though they were billed in the opening credits and not as guest stars).
Tyler James Williams and Jim Belushi were not submitted for their shows.
We wondered if people generally playing themselves could be entered in the guest acting categories... YES on Oprah Winfrey from 30 Rock and several of the Head Case guest stars.

Thank goodness. I was so hoping that if we all kept groaning about Pace and Friel that something could be done to get them on the ballot. LOL. Glad to know someone submitted them after all!
Nothing else from me. The site is telling me the ballot isn't available.

As much as I love(d) Pushing Daisies, would it really matter if any of the cast members submitted themselves? ABC totally threw the show under the bus. The television academy will do the same.

24: Redemption is actually considered a TV movie (we knew they submitted there but wondered if it would be eligible based on other recent cases where other shows had to use as series episodes).
- Hector Elizondo from Monk has moved into Supporting. He's in with a shot.
- Matt Lucas has submitted himself for Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire and NOT Little Britain USA. Crazy! Matt Walliams is submitted for Little Britain USA.
- Definitely no Jason Segel.
- Kevin Kline and Ian McKellen definitely eligible. I thought actors appearing in broadway plays shown on TV were no longer eligible.
- Kiefer Sutherland for 24: Redemption is IN! That means it is eligible. Go figure!!! We should look into this, because I don't think 24: Reddemption belongs here.
Definitely only Harry Dean Stanton of the supporting actors from Big Love has been submitted. Bruce Dern made the Top 10 last year, and now he's been left off the list.
None of the actors from ABC's Diamonds mini-sereis have been submitted (such as Judy Davis and Derek Jacobi, who would be frontrunners if they were submitted).
This either means this was done on purpose, or the mini-series itself is out of contention. Let's check this one out too.

In Guest Actor Comedy, of the higher-profile contenders, the following have been left off the list:
Martin Landau (Entourage) Steve Buscemi (30 Rock) Rip Torn (30 Rock) Emilio Estevez (2.5 Men) Robert Loggia (Monk) Jeffrey Tambor (NAOOC) Fred Willard (Pushing Daisies)
Wow... "The Office" submitted 12 episodes to Writing In a Comedy Series...
Grammy 2010: Album of the Year -- Whitney Houston - I Look to You Oscar 2010: Best Actress In a Leading Role -- Marion Cotillard - 9 Emmy 2010: Guest Actress in a Comedy Series -- Catherine O'Hara - Curb Your Enthusiasm
LOL, "CSI" and "CSI: NY" are up for drama series consideration, but not "CSI: Miami." Of course, this isn't all that significant, except to suggest that maybe even the network doesn't think it was worth submitting.
"A movie is not good because it arrives at conclusions you share, or bad because it does not. A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it: about the way it considers its subject matter, and about how its real subject may be quite different from the one it seems to provide." - Roger Ebert, from the introduction to "Awake in the Dark" (2006)
