It's Emmy Day, which means it's the equivalent of a national holiday in my house. I don't watch much television lately, but I still have to watch the awards. Plus, tonight is the 60th anniversary show, so there'll be a lot of tributes to the Golden Oldies of TV. I like the sound of that.

Anyway, I thought I'd go through the categories that include shows I watch and tell who I think (or hope) will win. Sound good? Let's go!

Note: Some of these categories were already handed out during the Creative Arts ceremony. I didn't watch that, so it's still a surprise for me.

Outstanding Art Direction For A Multi-camera Series

The only two nominees here are "How I Met Your Mother" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine." Since I watched both these shows, I don't care who wins. Either way, I win.

Outstanding Art Direction For A Single-camera Series

For this one, it's "Pushing Daisies" for me, all the way. The "Pie-lette" episode was nominated, and it should win. However, it seems it's the year of "Mad Men" -- it was the most-nominated show -- and it was nominated twice (out of six nominees) in this category, so it's chances are better than average that it'll pull out a win.

Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series

In this show, it's "30 Rock" against "Pushing Daisies" for me. Either one is fine, although I enjoy the guests on "PD" better. I realize that I'm a theater geek, and these folks might not be as well known as, say, Jerry Seinfeld or Al Gore, who guested on "30 Rock" this season.

Outstanding Cinematography For A Half-hour Series

This could be the most difficult category -- for me, that is. I have three shows in the running here --"30 Rock," "My Name Is Earl" and "Scrubs." I have to go with "Scrubs" on this one, because "My Princess," with its homage to "The Princess Bride," was like a 30-minute movie. Just brilliant. I must say that this category loses credibility points because "According to Jim" is nominated. Really? They couldn't find something better? Shame on you, ATAS!

Outstanding Comedy Series

I watch both "30 Rock" and "The Office," so I'd be happy if either of them won. But, they've picked up the last two years' worth of statuettes, so maybe it's time to spread things around to "Two and a Half Men." I watch that, too, but not all the time, so it's a draw.

Outstanding Costumes For A Series

Obviously, I'm all for "Pushing Daisies," but I realize "The Tudors" or "Mad Men" have a better chance. Period dress and all, you know. So, we'll see.

Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series

This one has "30 Rock," "Pushing Daisies" and two episodes of "The Office." So, any of the four out of six would be OK by me.

Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series

OK, this one has four from "30 Rock" and one from "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Watch -- the "30 Rock" nominees will split the vote, giving the nod to "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series

Three "30 Rock" episodes, two "Desperate Housewives" and a "Monk." Well, I'd say "30 Rock has a great chance, unless Kathryn Joosten sneaks in there. I like her, so I'll make an exception.

Outstanding Hairstyling For A Multi-camera Series Or A Special

This is an actual category? And they lump multi-camera series in with specials? That doesn't seem fair. But, I'm going with "Two and a Half Men" because it's my guilty pleasure.

Outstanding Hairstyling For A Single-camera Series

Same first question as above, but I'm going with "Pushing Daisies." "Mad Men" or "Ugly Betty" have a great shot, too, though.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series

Tony Shalhoub has won before for "Monk," so any of the other four would be great. Thanks!

Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series

Both Tina Fey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have won before, so I won't be upset if they don't this time. America Ferrera has before won, too, so it's really anyone's category. If they're gonna pick a newbie, I'd prefer Mary-Louise Parker over Christina Applegate.

Outstanding Makeup For A Multi-camera Series Or A Special (non-prosthetic)

Well, this is a mouthful! "Two and a Half Men" should win, period.

Outstanding Makeup For A Single-camera Series (non-prosthetic)

Another mouthful, but at least it's a more fair category. And "Pushing Daisies" all the way.

Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup For A Series, Miniseries, Movie Or A Special

Two words: "Pushing Daisies."

Outstanding Music Composition For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special (original Dramatic Score)

I only include this because I watched "Oprah Winfrey Presents: Mitch Albom's For One More Day" after reading the book. I didn't notice the music.

Outstanding Music Composition For A Series (original Dramatic Score)

This one makes the cut because I actually notice the score in "Pushing Daisies," and it's fabulous.

Outstanding Picture Editing For A Comedy Series (single Or Multi-camera)

"30 Rock," "Pushing Daisies" and "The Office" are all contenders, so there's a 60 percent chance that a show I watch will win. Go me!

Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (half-hour) And Animation

"30 Rock," "The Office" and "Two and a Half Men" each have a chance here. Same as above.

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series

Jon Cryer, Neil Patrick Harris and Rainn Wilson are up against Jeremy Piven -- who has won before -- and Kevin Dillon from "Entourage." Spread the love, will you? First choice is Doogie Howser, followed by Duckie, with the Schrute guy a distant third. Any will be OK, though.

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series

Kristin Chenoweth is brilliant in each episode of "Pushing Daisies," of which there were only nine last season. The one where she sang "Hopelessly Devoted to You" to a dog was especially good. Holland Taylor has been doing great work on "Two and a Half Men" for years, so she's my second choice.

Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series

Two episodes of "30 Rock," plus one each of "Pushing Daisies" and "The Office" are up against "Flight of the Conchords." I think I have a good shot at being happy with this one.

Anyway, that's all for now. Maybe I'll come back tomorrow and post the winners. I say maybe because I have a tendency to forget to follow through with these things. In any case, I wish you and yours a happy Emmy Day.
