Sam Trammell (True Blood)
"Parks and Recreation is one of my favorite shows. I love all of those actors. Literally, that's why I like [the show], because they're all so funny. I'd love [to see some nominations for it]."

Allison Williams (Girls)
"Top of the Lake is so insanely good, so I've got to root for Elisabeth Moss. She's outstanding in it."

Michael Cudlitz (Southland)
"I just started watching The Americans, and it's wonderful. It makes me as nervous as watching Southland. I just think that any minute, everything's going to go to hell in a hand-basket."

Jim Beaver (Justified)
"It's about time someone gave [Justified's] Timothy Olyphant an Emmy or some kind of big award. And Benedict Cumberbatch is amazing in Sherlock."
Dream-Emmy-Nominees-Matthew-Rhys
Matthew Rhys (The Americans)
"William H. Macy [in Shameless], Kevin Spacey [in House of Cards], Timothy Olyphant [in Justified]. People like Damian Lewis and Andrew Lincoln are old friends, so I'm obviously not going to root for them. [Laughs] Damian's got too many awards anyway. The shelves are groaning under the weight of that silverware."
Dream-Emmy-Nominees-Lily-Rabe
Lily Rabe (American Horror Story)
"I'm a little late to the party, but I'm starting to watch Breaking Bad and my mind is being blown. It's just beyond, beyond, beyond. Bryan Cranston is one of those actors who doesn't shy away from ugliness, the truth, honesty. He's never making a choice where you feel, 'Oh, he's trying to be liked in some way.' And that is always the thing I want to watch. Also, my dear friend Jesse Tyler Ferguson — I'm rooting for him always on Modern Family."
Dream-Emmy-Nominees-Monica-Potter
Monica Potter (Parenthood)
"I love [Breaking Bad's] Anna Gunn. She's great. And we share the same manager, so I feel like there's a sisterhood there."
Dream-Emmy-Nominees-Adam-Scott
Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation)
"I love Kroll Show. I'd love to see that recognized. I love Delocated, [so] I'd love to see Jon Glaser (who also co-stars on Parks) recognized, too. I love The Americans, and Matthew Rhys was incredible on that. And wait, can you retroactively give the Emmys to Battlestar Galactica?"
Dream-Emmy-Nominees-melissa-rauch
Melissa Rauch (The Big Bang Theory)
"I love Mad Men so much. It's one of my favorite shows. I'm just in awe."
Dream-Emmy-Nominees-Corey-stoll
Corey Stoll (House of Cards)
"Breaking Bad is the best thing out there. They've gotten a lot of kudos, and I think they deserve them."

Michael McMillian (True Blood)
"I love Game of Thrones. I'm obsessed like everybody else. Anybody winning anything on Game of Thrones is great by me."

Abigail Spencer (Rectify)
"Elisabeth Moss is incredible. And her work in Top of the Lake is stunning."

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones)
"I just watched the Louis C.K. special [ Oh My God]. If he doesn't win... He was just so brilliant. I'm also a huge Breaking Bad fan. They only had half a season, but even half a season of that is worth 10 of most other shows. Those guys and girls, [Emmy voters] could easily throw a few more Emmys at them."
Dream-Emmy-Nominees-The-Middle
Eileen Heisler & DeAnn Heline, Executive Producers of The Middle
Heisler: "I keep touting Homeland. I love dramas because I write comedy. All the people on Homeland deserve nominations. And [Veep's Julia Louis-Dreyfus is amazing. Amy Poehler is amazing, too. There's so much talent. I'd love to see Patricia Heaton from our show be nominated."
Heline: "I'm a huge fan of Girls, so I'd love to see them be nominated."
Dream-Emmy-Nominees-big-bang-theory
Steve Molaro, Executive Producer of The Big Bang Theory
"I'm a huge fan of Louis C.K. So I'd be happy to lose to him."
