Should: Lena Dunham, Amy Poehler, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Edie Falco, Laura Dern, Tina Fey

Wish There Were Room: Laura Linney

Enough Already: Zooey Deschanel, Lea Michele

Dunham gave the kind of brave, unflattering performance on “Girls” that just may change the way women are portrayed in TV comedy. Dern was funny and moving on “Enlightenment,” and Louis-Dreyfus once again proved her adaptability and greatness on “Veep.” Oh, and I know the cute Deschanel hasn’t been nominated yet, but I hate that voters might automatically embrace her. She needs to work on her “New Girl” character.

SUPPORTING ACTOR COMEDY

Should: Ty Burrell, Nick Offerman, Adam Pally, Adam Driver, Max Greenfield, Ed O’Neill

Wish There Were Room: Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Aziz Ansari, Danny Pudi

Enough Already: Jon Cryer, Chris Colfer, Neil Patrick Harris, Rainn Wilson

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Driver in “Girls.” He took a twisted character, fleshed him out, and made him unique. Pally is gonzo excellence on “Happy Endings,” and Greenfield is the true star of “New Girl,” with his curiously endearing Schmidt.

SUPPORTING ACTRESS

COMEDY

Should: Kristen Wiig, Jane Krakowski, Eliza Coupe, Casey Wilson, Merritt Wever, Alison Brie

Wish There Were Room: Aubrey Plaza, Maya Rudolph, Busy Phillips, Sofia Vergara

Enough Already: Jane Lynch, Julie Bowen

“Happy Endings” has grown into an addictive treat, not least of all thanks to Wilson and Coupe. Brie is wonderfully game on “Community.” Wiig had a strong final season on “Saturday Night Live,” and Wever is the self-conscious heart of “Nurse Jackie.”

DRAMA

Should: “Breaking Bad,” “Mad Men,” “Homeland,” “Shameless,” “Justified,” “Game of Thrones”

Wish There Were Room: “Downton Abbey,” “The Good Wife,” “Boardwalk Empire,” “Southland,” “Treme”

Enough Already: “Dexter”
