im just wondering who are the no doubt about it bet your house on them lock nominees in the drama/comedy series/acting catergories
for example: we can put alec baldwin and steve carell in without a hint of doubt in the lead actor comedy category, but is that it, and how about the rest of the categorys?
What about Tony Shalhoub? He's won multiple times for his role on "Monk" and has been a consistent nominee. Even though some don't think he's worthy why would his fate change this year?
Guest Actress Comedy Kathryn Joosten

Comedy Series: Entourage, The Office, 30 Rock Comedy Lead Actor: Alec Baldwin, Steve Carell Comedy Lead Actress: Tina Fey Comedy Supporting Actor: Jeremy Piven, Neil Patrick Harris
IMO, that's it for the major (non-creative arts) categories for dramas and comedies. There are a bunch of others that I would be surprised to not see there (Hall, Hamm, Cranston, Field, Shatner, Wiest, Parker, Cryer, Rainn Wilson), but none of them I could call a lock.

G'Day, 3 People have Bryan Cranston. I'm sorry but he is no where near a lock. It is of the common belief that he got nominated and won last year because of his tape. This year he only has the popular vote and the field is stronger (with Sutherland and Leary reentering the fray) and with 6 nods last year there isn't even an empty slot. He is looking good for a nomination but to say that he's got this thing locked up just isn't true.
His win last year no doubt has put him on the radar but after winning Terry O'Quinn didn't even make the top 11 on the popular vote the next year and Jamie Pressly didn't make the top 10.
Jon Hamm has a much better shot. He has a very high profile and is the centerpiece for last year's drama series winner (and this year's frountrunner). If this were a panel system I could see him missing out in a tough field but with the popular vote he has it locked up.

Terry O'Quinn did not have strong material the year after he won; Bryan Cranston does. I would say that tapes are actually more likely to hurt Cranston than the popular vote. In a popular vote, the voters will remember that he was the best last year; with tapes, they may judge that he is no longer the best.

Why didn't last year the members remember that O'Quinn and Pressly were the best the year before? Their exclusion last year wasn't based on tapes.
I've only seen the Pilot of Breaking Bad. But am I correct in assuming that it is a fairly serialised show? If so, then there's a chance tapes may have hurt him and with his boost from last year's win the system may be better for him this year. But I can't say that with any sort of certainty in order to call his nomination a lock.

The only reason that I placed Cranston as a lock is BECAUSE of the popular vote; I think that his name finally popped up on the radar in a big way last year, and that people will most certainly remember it. There's actually not a doubt in my mind.
Jon Hamm is another lock because he is the star of what many think is the best drama on television.
I can understand the Laurie love, though I don't emit it myself; this season of House was odd, to say the least. But then again, this man has been nominated several times with no win. Maybe he's not only a lock, but the sure-fire winner now that James Spader seems to be losing fans left and right.
Actor Drama will be a tough category to say the least. And Supporting Actor Drama ain't much better.

I am saying that voters recognized that O'Quinn did not have strong material last year, but Cranston continues to have strong material. My other point was irrelevant to that. I was suggesting that Cranston is more of a popular vote lock than a tape lock.
Locks -- because of the 6 nominees in the major categories, there are probably more "locks" than normal

i definetly feel that Sally Field will continue to get nominated every year reguardless of material she has, simply because of who she is. I feel Glenn Close is pretty safe too.
In Comedy, Tina Fey and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss are virtual locks for Lead Actress nods.

Is it sad that I forget that her show is even still on the air?
