I believe any up and coming young performer wouldn't have the clout/star power/sway to either boost ratings or act as a mentor to existing characters on the show. The guest star category for the Emmys should remain because it highlights the diversity of roles offered for actors willing to manoeuvre between film and television and offers interesting and watchable storylines.

I won't bother watching them unless someone truly deserving gets nominated. Which will be never. I’ve just given up on the Emmy’s.

The Emmys do not go to the most-worthy (we ALL know that), but rather are given as a lifetime award to those deemed worthy or as a lure/reward to "film" stars to continue working in the TV medium. The Emmys are so pathetically irrelevent, why does anyone even bother with them anymore? They've turned themselves into an industry laughingstock. My guess is, they're really befuddled this year without the Sopranos available to stock each category with.
