Some of these may have won an emmy for these shows, but not in the year listed.

I hate the emmys; how could Ian McShane's Al Swearengen lose all three years!? Give me a break, it's a joke. Do away with the contrived emmys: make up your own awards and doll em' out each year, its essentially the same thing, and you'll feel so much more important (seriously, it's what I do!)

I think Bryan Cranston deserved it each time he won. Should've won this time as well.

reply

Very odd topic and choices???? So years not listed you agree with the winners??? Maybe redo this with all the winners and post who thought should have won instead??? Plus try one category at a time? Like lead actor in a drama.
David Duchovny is a No
For sure for any year.

Mid & late 90's were awesome for TV and great lead actors in a drama series... ER, Homicide, NYPD BLUE, Law & Order, Chicago Hope, Murder One to name a few.
Jimmy Smits was robbed in his time with NYPD BLUE
David Caruso in season 1 of the same show to name a few.

Hugh Laurie and Kiefer Sutherland, IMO, should have won more awards.
I think that John Hamm is overrated. I don´t why, but I don´t like his acting.

Sooner or later, we all dance with the Devil

For drama, Hamm, Laurie, and Sheen should have won at least once. Of course, Hamm still has a chance. Conroy should have won at least once.

For comedy, Goodman should have won at least once. Danson won twice, but should have at least 2 or 3 more than that. The Emmys completely ignored him during the early years of Cheers, where he did some of his best acting.
