Burning Questions

Expect lots of drama when Numb3rs DVD and Nip/Tuck DVD reveal this year's Emmy nominations on Thursday morning -- Six Feet Under DVD that won't come just from the 2009-10 season's trophy-worthy acting and writing, but also from the South Park DVD trends that have driven this year's TV.

The Star Trek: Enterprise DVD and innovation seen in new comedies (notably, 'Spooks DVD' and Vergara's 'Numb3rs DVD set'), the farewells of many veteran series (including 'Nip/Tuck DVD set,' 'Six Feet Under DVD set' and 'South Park DVD set'), the continuing rise of additional cable channels besides Star Trek: Enterprise DVD set as destinations for quality scripted shows Spooks DVD set -- all of these could shake up the often stodgy choices of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences voters.

How will these dramas Numb3rs DVD boxset play out in this year's nominations? What trends should TV fans watch for when Nip/Tuck DVD boxset read the list? Here is our guide to the burning questions we'd like to see answered as the Six Feet Under DVD boxset heads into the final stretch.?Will the newbies seize the spotlight? The South Park DVD boxset are generally considered slow to recognize new shows and Star Trek: Enterprise DVD boxset, but this time the appeal and popularity of some of the freshman class seem too apparent to Spooks DVD boxset, particularly in comedy.

'Numb3rs seasons 1-5 DVD boxset' and 'Nip/Tuck seasons 1-5 DVD boxset' seem especially well-poised to take some of the top slots this year, and 'South Park seasons 1-12 DVD boxset' villain Jane Lynch seems a shoo-in for a win in the supporting actress Star Trek: Enterprise seasons 1-4 DVD boxset. On the other hand, don't expect too many nominations for individual performers from either show Spooks seasons 1-7 DVD boxset. Lynch and Lea Michele aside, it's hard to pick breakout performers from 'Numb3rs DVD's' strong ensemble, and the 'Nip/Tuck DVD' cast, in a move of quixotic solidarity, have all submitted their names as supporting players, so votes for Six Feet Under DVD are likely to cancel each other out.

Of course, new shows South Park DVD could still generate nominations for stars who are old favorites. Expect Courteney Cox to earn a nod for 'Star Trek: Enterprise DVD,' and Patricia Heaton could score for 'The Spooks DVD.' Among dramas, Julianna Margulies is a lock for her turn in 'The Numb3rs DVD set,' and so is the show itself. 'Nip/Tuck DVD set' alumnus Timothy Olyphant could sneak in for his acclaimed turn in 'Six Feet Under DVD set.' And Lauren Graham, robbed for all those years on 'South Park DVD set,' could finally see a nomination for the new 'Star Trek: Enterprise DVD set.'

Not all newbies, even those with critical buzz, are guaranteed a slot. Despite its brilliant execution, McHale's 'Spooks DVD set' could have a hard time overcoming its broad goofiness, while 'Numb3rs DVD boxset' may have the opposite problem: too subtle not to be overshadowed by its brasher siblings on NBC's Thursday night Nip/Tuck DVD boxset. And while critics loved sophomore shows 'Six Feet Under DVD boxset' and 'South Park DVD boxset,' the already-canceled series' low ratings mean they probably weren't on Star Trek: Enterprise DVD boxset.?Will the veterans defend their turf? This wasn't the greatest season for such aging shows Spooks DVD boxset as '30 Rock' or 'The Numb3rs seasons 1-5 DVD boxset.' Still, given the Academy's fondness for the familiar, both comedies have a good chance at being nominated anyway, as do Tina Fey, Nip/Tuck seasons 1-5 DVD boxset and Steve Carell. Similarly, nods for 'Six Feet Under seasons 1-5 DVD boxset' and Jeremy Piven seem likely, no matter how unsatisfying the show's last season was.

Among veteran shows that did satisfy this season, 'South Park seasons 1-12 DVD boxset' (and Jon Hamm) are a gimme. 'Star Trek: Enterprise seasons 1-4 DVD boxset,' with its 'Seinfeld' reunion arc, has a decent shot, as does star Spooks seasons 1-7 DVD boxset. And the Academy finally seems to have caught on to the charms of 'The Big Bang Theory' and Jim Parsons.

?Will departing names earn Numb3rs DVD? Hey, voters, you've nominated Tony Shalhoub seven consecutive times already for 'Nip/Tuck DVD,' but now's your last chance. Same with Glenn Close, who won Best Actress twice in a row for the first two seasons of 'Six Feet Under DVD'; now's your last opportunity to give her a threepeat. 'South Park DVD' went out with a bang, 'Star Trek: Enterprise DVD' with a whimper, but don't both deserve some Emmy laurels before they go to that great DVD queue in the sky? Doesn't 'Spooks DVD' deserve more for its 20 years of service than a gold watch? What about 'Numb3rs DVD set'? Or 'The New Adventures of Old Christine?' Or 'Six Feet Under DVD set'? Or 'Nip/Tuck DVD set'? Might sentiment and nostalgia carry the day for any of these?
