Where's Dwight??

This is why I don't put much stock in the Emmys.
Look at the ridiculous supporting actor (comedy series) nominees this year:

Arrested Development - Will Arnett as Gob Bluth
Entourage - Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold
Malcolm In The Middle - Bryan Cranston as Hal
Will & Grace - Sean Hayes as Jack
Two And A Half Men - Jon Cryer as Alan Harper



Where's Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute in The Office?
Where's Ethan Suplee as Randy Hickey in My Name is Earl?
The only nominees in the category that make any sense at all are Will Arnett and Jeremy Piven.

You want a third suggestion to round out the category? Give it to the widely over-looked Michael Cera, who subtly held his own comedically in an amazing cast as dutiful son George Michael Bluth on Arrested Development.

They did get one thing right though. Jaime Pressly MUST win for playing Joy in My Name is Earl. Every role she's ever played has been a sub-par version of this character and she finally got a job where the writing equals her comedic talent and it's comedy gold.
