Emmy Contenders: Best Supporting Actor in a TV Movie/Miniseries
Possible Cotenders
James Gandolfini "Cinema Verite"
Tim Robbins "Cinema Verite"
Guy Pearce "Mildred Pierce"
Brian F. O'Byrne "Mildred Pierce"
James LeGros "Mildred Pierce"
Bill Crudup "Too Big To Fail"
Topher Grace "Too Big To Fail"
Commentary
For me, the biggest question mark in this class is The Kennedy's. Normally the names of Barry Pepper and Tom Wilkinson would put them automatically in the race. But the drama surrounding the series, and so the less than stellar reviews, means that their chances of getting in are slim. That being said, there are enough of top contenders in what appears to be a stacked race. First, James Gandolfini and Tim Robbins both got great reviews for Cinema Verite, and I can't see a scenario where they both don't get in. The two Mildred Pierce guys, Guy Pearce and Brian F. O'Byrne (my personal favourite of the bunch), should also get in, unless something unusual happens. That way that there are just a few spots left for some other contenders, and loads of names worth mentioning. Pillars of the World has a few top contenders, namely Donald Sutherland, but my estimate is that they are left out. Instead, probably two of the four guys from Too Big to Fail get in instead, maybe Giamatii and Woods being the best bets, although it would be unbelievable to see Billy Crudup get some attention, as he is one of the scoop and underrated actors in the game today.
