Emmy Top Ten Lists: Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

1. Aaron Paul "Breaking Bad"
2. Michael Emerson "Lost"
3. Martin Short "Damages"
4. Terry O'Quinn "Lost"
5. John Goodman "Treme"
6. John Slattery "Mad Men"
7. Campbell Scott "Damages"
8. Chris Noth "The Good Wife"
9. Patrick Dempsey "Grey's Anatomy"
10. Vincent Kartheiser "Mad Men"

This is a stacked year, with plenty of other contenders out of these ten that are possibilities. But these are probably the most likely. The Mad Men boys are back with at least two, maybe other possibilities. Same can be said about Damages, with Martin Short most likely being its best bet. Aaron Paul should have won last year, so hopefully he at least gets some recognition. Lost is in its finally season so previous winners Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson could see their names called again. Two newcomers Chris Noth and John Goodman are well-known and star in popular new TV shows and could easily make the final 6. Finally, Patrick Dempsey has constantly been good on Grey's and this year he had to stretch his ability and did well with it, and may get some recognition for his work.
