Emmys 2013: Our dream nominees, from 30 Rock to Scandal

Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Adam Driver, Girls

Girls got dark in season two, and so did Adam Driver’s character… ahem, Adam. Driver was captivating to watch this season, and we hope he doesn’t get out-shined by the auteur-istic the series is.

Max Greenfield, New Girl

Who’s that guy? It’s Schmidt! Max Greenfield puts so much energy into that character, it’s a shame if he doesn’t at least get a nod.

Bill Hader, Saturday Night Live

It was Bill Hader’s final season, so please just give this man some more recognition please? Come on!

Jack McBrayer, 30 Rock

It’s hard to continue the same schtick for six years straight, but colleagues Jane Krakowski and Jack McBrayer have continued to do so…AND make their characters undoubtedly hilarious. Like Busy Phillips, there isn’t a line that McBrayer cannot deliver in his own tone and style. In a few words: there’s no one else who could play Kenneth. He makes us laugh when he’s onscreen. Plus he’s immortal! Give it to Kenneth!

Damon Wayans, Jr., Happy Endings

Another actor on the list who just has a natural comedic timing and ability. Damon Wayans, Jr.’s talents are obviously a sign that he’s from the Wayans family… but he may even surpass them in talents. There’s only one way to put it: Wayans is hilarious.

Nick Offerman, Parks and Recreation

He’s Ron Effin Swanson. And Offerman plays that so well, sometimes it’s hard to believe that it’s just a character. And even though Offerman offers (ha!) us laughs in spades, he also plays Ron’s heartwarming scenes beautifully — and his out of character ones even more so!
