Road to the Emmys: Did Your Favorite Actor Make the Semifinals?

When the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the top ten drama and comedy series semifinalists late last month, I had hoped that the list of actors who made the semifinals would be forthcoming. Alas, I was wrong, so I did some digging and struck gold -- the Gold Derby to be exact!

The Los Angeles Times Gold Derby Blog not only managed to get their hands on the list of Emmy semifinalists, they also got some major scoop from a few of the panelist judges about how some of the drama and comedy series are faring in the race to the final five.

Thanks to the absence of 24 and The Sopranos from the ballot, the top ten semifinalists (and in some cases 11) in all eight categories are a varied assortment of perennial nominees and deserving newcomers. Did your favorites make the list?
