So...it's pretty easy for me to say...well...all of them but let's take an honest look at the nominees and winners for the five years that the Wire was on TV.
Emmy''s
2003 (because it wasn't eligible for the previous year)
Best Drama Series
Winner: The West Wing
Nominees: 24, The Sopranos, 6 feet Under, CSI
Best Actor
Winner: James Gandolfini, The Sopranos
Noms: Martin Sheen (The West Wing), Michael Chikilis (The Shield), Keifer Sutherland (24), Peter Krause (six feet under)
Best Actress
Winner: Edie Falco, The Sopranos
Noms: Jennifer Garner (Alias), Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under), Marg Helgenberger (CSI), Allison Janney(The West Wing)
Best Supporting Actor
Winner: Joe Pantoliano, The Sopranos
Noms: Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos), John Spencer (The West Wing), Bradley Whitford (The West Wing), Victor Garber( Alias).
Best Supporting Actress
Winner: Tyne Daly (Judging Amy)
Noms: Lauren Ambrose (Six feet Under), Stockard Channing(The West Wing), Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under), Leña Olin (Alias)
So for me...the obvious omissions are basically anything to do with CSI. So that leaves an opening on Best drama and best actress right off the bat.
Obviously, The Wire would take its spot in outstanding Drama but would Sonja Sohn be a suitable candidate for Best Actress?
I would probably drop Victor Garber in favour for Michael K Williams as Omar Little. This category is tough, because it is STACKED. You could also argue that John Doman or André Royo (Bubbles) would make as good of a candidate here.
I donthink think there is any room in the best actor category, so Dominic West gets nothing. The only exception is Michael Chikilis.
I've never seen Judging Amy or Alias so I can't really comment on the best supporting Actress Category, but outside of Kima there is very few female characters. I suppose that Deirdre Lovejoy could get a nod for Rhonda Pearlman but I don't know how great those other actresses were in those roles.
You could also argue that Kima Greggs is more of a supporting character in any event.
So by my analysis, The Wire would get three Emmy Nominations, but zero wins for its first season.
And Discuss. I can do the Globes tomorrow or someone else can take a cracked at it, I'm not to fussed.
