These picks are based on what I know about a show, what the pundits say, my own wishful thinking and gut feeling.So here we go:

Drama series: "24" I'd rather see it go to "Big Love" but "24" has all kinds of momentum. It would be ironic though since Fox is airing part 2 of its season premiere of "24" opposite the Globes and is likely to cut into the ratings of the kudofest. On second thought, maybe they'll give it to "Grey's Anatomy."

Actress in Drama: Kyra Sedgwick in "The Closer." If she doesn't win, I'll be ticked. Hers is THE best performance by an actress in any series. Compeition is solid with the wonderful Patricia Arquette and Edie Falco. I don't give Evangiline Lilly much chance and what the heck is Ellem Pompeo doing in this category? There are many terrific female performances on "Grey's Anatomy" but her's is just so-so.

Actor in Drama: I'm thinking Michael C. Hall for "Dexter" is most deserving in a tough category. But Hugh Laurie (House) or Kiefer Sutherland (24) could easily win.

Best Comedy: I think it will go to "Ugly Betty" for some reason. And I wouldn't mind one bit since "Scrubs" isn't even on the list. I am also quite fond of "Weeds."

Comedy Actress: You can't lose with whoever wins here, all are great. I'm giving the edge to America Ferrera for "Ugly Betty" but Julia Louis-Dreyfus" won the Emmy for "Old Christine." Marcia Cross is always overlooked for "Desperate Housewives" for what is, week-after-week, a terrific comic performance.

Comedy Actor: Zach Braff!!! He kills me. They gotta give it to the star of "Scrubs." Tony Shalhoub wins too many of these things for "Monk" and I have had it with that! Steve Carell could very well win for "The Office" but Braff is my pick.

TV Movie or Miniseries: Dunno. Only saw "Mrs. Harris" and it was fine but not the best I'm sure. I'll pick Elizabeth 1" because anything Helen Mirren touches this year will turn to gold.

Actress/Movie: Helen Mirren is up against herself for "Elizabeth" and "Prime Suspect: The Final Act." I think she wins for "Elizabeth" because, after all, she IS the queen.

Actor/Movie: This is one of those real 'I have noooooooooooo idea' things so I will pick Ben Kingsley for "Mrs. Harris" because I saw it and he was quite good. Robert Duvall is said to be terrific in "Broken Trail" so if noit Kingsley, maybe Duvall.

Supporting actor in TV (they absurdly mix the series, miniseries and TV movie nominees all in one category): I'll say Jeremy Piven in "Entourage" but I want to see Justin Kirk win for "Weeds."

Supporting actress in TV: They must, must, MUST give this to Elizabeth Perkins for her scary/funny performance on "Weeds." She is brilliant week after week.
