Post your guesses in this thread. Let's keep it kicked!

[peekaloo]

1. I can't sit through the entire show.

but I want Candace Bergen, William Shatner, Curb Your Enthusiasm or Scrubs, and Larry David to win in their respective categories.

no writing/best show noms for Boston Legal chaps my cheeks.

p.s. I'll take Colbert to unseat TDS/JS this year!

[progmom]

2. i'm no good at guessing these things

but i am looking forward to the telecast! :hi:

[catbert836]

3. You're no fun!

Come on, what harm can it do you?

[terrya]

4. I would like for "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to win Best Comedy...

and Jane Kaczmarek to win Best Leading Actress Comedy.

But I don't think either is going to win.

Will be watching, also. Conan O' Brien will be hosting, so that's even better. :-)

5. I hurt myself larfing at CYE this year.

finally got the DVD (no HBO) and thought after the first two eps LD had lost his edge. 'The Christ Nail' changed all that.

Hilarious and brilliant.

[catbert836]

6. Never really watched that show...

In any case, whatever the winner is, "Arrested Development" will forever be Outstanding Comedy Series in my mind.

7. Seems there's no one in the Lounge

with the balls to actually respond fully to this thread. You pussies just post sophomoric copycats instead! :cry:

[peekaloo]

8. offer a cash prize to the weiner.

and don't castigate for under-sized balls! :P
