OUTSTANDING LEADING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES

Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy for (“Live From Studio 6H”) in “30 ROCK”

Louis C.K. as Louie for (“Country Drive”) in “LOUIE”

Larry David as Larry David for (“Palestinian Chicken”) in “CURB YOUR ENTUSIASM”

Garret Dillahunt as Burt Chance for (“Kidnapped”) in “RAISING HOPE”

Joel McHale as Jeff Winger for (“Introduction to Finality”) in “COMMUNITY”

Adam Scott as Benb Wyatt for (“The Comeback Kid”) in “PARKS AND RECREATION”

AND THE WINNER IS:

LOUIS C.K. AS LOUIE FOR ("COUNTRY DRIVE") IN "LOUIE"

Last Year’s Winner: Steve Carrell as Michael Scott for (“Goodbye Michael”) in “THE OFFICE”

This is the second win for Louis C.K. on his third nomination (first as an actor) for his work on Louie.

Again with the FX show Louie we are only witness to the greatness of Louis C.K. and while he mostly known as a comedian I felt that not only has his directing/writing been top notch but also has his acting surprisingly. Especially in the fifth episode Country Drive are we as an audience witness to the subtle and clearly performance by Louis C.K. While most of his comedy comes from his standup moments he is even able to get some great comedy out of that scene in car just singing. C.K. with this show proves that someone of his talent in standup can become a great actor.
