![]() I’m annoyed Jenna Fischer has yet to win one of these things, but if any performer on “The Office” was Emmy-worthy this year, it was Kemper. She was so good I may even one day rewatch “Scott’s Tots,” which otherwise was one of the most excruciating, tone-deaf episodes in the show’s history, just to watch Erin cluelessly cheer Michael on. One of the few bright spots, though, was Ellie Kemper, who owned every scene she was in as the chipper-to-the-point-of-mental-instability Erin. This was not a very good season for “The Office,” for reasons both too long and too depressing to go into here. Bonus points for one of the funniest “Mad Men” moments of the season, when Trudy asked Pete to come join her in the kitchen. Anything they ask her to do, she nails, and that includes completely upsetting the apple cart with her chemistry with Joel McHale. She took a character who was a broadly-sketched cartoon and managed to simultaneously embrace that side of things while giving Annie some real depth and humanity. ![]() ![]() If the picture above wasn’t enough of a giveaway, and if my writing about her early and often in discussing “Community” wasn’t, either, my first nominee choice (and my probable favorite if I had a hypothetical vote) is Alison Brie. While I was sleeping, Dan posted his thoughts on the probable nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a comedy, and if you click through you’ll have my hypothetical ballot… Today, it’s time for the comedy sidekicks. (Here’s Dan’s take on drama supporting actor and actress from yesterday, as well as my actor and actress takes.) Emmy Nominations Week continues here at HitFix, in which Fienberg and I attack the possible nominees from two angles: Dan speculates on who will be nominated, while I pretend like I have an Emmy ballot and say who should be. ![]()
