In anticipation of Sunday’s EMMY Awards, theTVaddict.com crew is proud [or not-so-proud depending on how things turn out] to present our 2007 GUARANTEED EMMY WINNERS [not really guaranteed!]. Check beck regularly throughout the week, as new categories are added. Agree with our picks? disagree completely? Think we take TV a little too seriously! Post your comments below.

Nominees (L to R):James Spader, Hugh Laurie, Denis Leary, James Gandolfini and Kiefer Sutherland

theTVaddict Predicts:

Who I Think Will Win: James Gandolfini
Tony Soprano is one of television’s most seminal characters. Can you really blame Emmy voters for honoring Gandolfini one last time?

Who I HOPE Will Win: Anyone but Kiefer Sutherland or James Spader
They do the exact same thing every season, and frankly I’m tired of it.

Who Was Snubbed: Michael C. Hall
Bringing Dexter to life was last season’s most Emmy worthy role.

Amrie Predicts:

Who I Think Will Win: James Gandolfini or James Spader
The Sopranos last year, so sympathy votes. And the Emmy voters believe James Spader is a Godsend.

Who I HOPE Will Win: Dennis Leary or Hugh Laurie
Denis Leary makes me believe in his horrible alcoholic firefighter, and I worship him so much. Hugh Laurie – he’s just great. He’s got caustic wit, and I want to hear his accent in an acceptance speech!

Who Was Snubbed: Kyle Chandler
He deserves not only to have been nominated, but to win the whole thing. I love him as Eric Taylor!!

Jenny Predicts:

Who I Think Will Win: James Spader
Emmys love him. I love him too, but not as much as Hugh Laurie.

Who I HOPE Will Win: Hugh Laurie
Every episode, he surprises me with how rude and mean he can be, even while he astounds me. Plus, I love hearing his real accent!

Who Was Snubbed: Kyle Chandler
I have never watched Friday Night Lights, but from what I’ve heard, it’s terrific and Kyle Chandler rocks in everything I’ve ever seen him in.
