The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards begin at 7 p.m. Sunday on Channel 4.

Let's get right to the meat of today's business, the nominees in some of the key categories, and my guesses on who should win and who will win:

Best actor in a drama: Nominees are Bryan Cranston "Breaking Bad," Michael C. Hall "Dexter," Hugh Laurie "House," Jon Hamm "Mad Men," Matthew Fox "Lost," Kyle Chandler "Friday Night Lights."

I'm thinking Michael C. Hall is a sentimental favorite, after his apparently successful cancer battle. But my pick for who should win is Jon Hamm, after last year's best season of AMC's "Mad Men."

Best actress in a drama: Nominees are Connie Britton "Friday Night Lights," Glenn Close "Damages," Mariska Hargitay "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." Kyra Sedgwick "The Closer," January Jones "Mad Men," Julianna Margulies ‘The Good Wife."

Connie Britton deserves the win, but I'm going to say Glenn Close will pick up the Emmy in this category.

Best actor in a comedy: Nominees are Alec Baldwin "30 Rock," Tony Shalhoub "Monk," Jim Parsons ‘The Big Bang Theory," Steve Carell ‘The Office," Larry David "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Matthew Morrison "Glee."

Jim Parsons should be in the supporting actor category, but he's a favorite to win here. My pick is Alec Baldwin, the funniest actor in any category.

Best actress in a comedy: Nominees are Tina Fey "30 Rock," Lea Michele "Glee," Julia Louis-Dreyfus ‘The New Adventures of Old Christine," Amy Poehler "Parks and Recreation," Toni Collette "United States of Tara," Edie Falco "Nurse Jackie."

This could be a big year for "Glee" and I wouldn't be surprised by a Lea Michele win. But I'm sticking with Tina Fey, the funniest woman in TV, even when she's not playing Sarah Palin.

Best supporting actor in a drama series: Nominees are Andre Braugher "Men of a Certain Age," Aaron Paul "Breaking Bad," Michael Emerson "Lost," John Slattery "Mad Men," Martin Short "Damages," Terry O'Quinn "Lost."

I'm sticking with "Mad Men" and John Slattery. And I think he may actually win.

Best supporting actress in a drama series: Nominees are Rose Byrne "Damages," Christine Baranski "The Good Wife," Archie Panjabi "The Good Wife," Elisabeth Moss "Mad Men," Christina Hendricks "Mad Men," Sharon Gless "Burn Notice."

I'm loyal to "Mad Men." While my pick for who should win is the quirky Elisabeth Moss, I think Christina Hendricks has more buzz and will win. I won't be disappointed either way.

Best supporting actor in a comedy series: Nominees are Eric Stonestreet "Modern Family," Neil Patrick Harris "How I Met Your Mother," Chris Colfer "Glee," Jon Cryer "Two And A Half Men," Ty Burrell "Modern Family," Jesse Tyler Ferguson "Modern Family."

Eric Stonestreet is among the amazing performers in ABC's "Modern Family," and my easy pick for who should win this category. But I think the "Glee" juggernaut means it will go to Chris Colfer.

Best supporting actress in a comedy series: Nominees are Jane Lynch "Glee," Kristen Wiig "Saturday Night Live," Sofia Vergara "Modern Family" Jane Krakowski "30 Rock" Holland Taylor ‘Two and A Half Men" Julie Bowen "Modern Family."

I think Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen divide the "Mad Men" vote, although Bowen is my pick for the most hilarious modern mom on TV. Still, there's little chance Jane Lynch won't take this Emmy home.

Feel free to add your Emmy picks, and tweet along with me Sunday night.
