‘Lost,’ ‘Glee’ poised to win big during Sunday night’s telecast. By Kara Warner Matthew Morrison and Jayma Mays in “Glee” Photo: FOX The 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards take place on Sunday night (August 29), which means there’s still time to speculate over who will take trophies home from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Fan favorites Betty White and Neil Patrick Harris have already snagged Emmys — which stars and shows will round out this year’s winners list? Here’s a look at our picks. Outstanding Drama Series It seems that the likely winner here is “Lost,” which ended with a much buzzed-about bang — an estimated 13.5 million viewers tuned into the May 23 series finale . “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” could also pull out a victory, but Emmy newbie “True Blood” is a long shot. Outstanding Lead Actor And Lead Actress In A Drama Series Fans and critics alike rejoiced at the recognition for “Friday Night Lights” actors Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, but they will have steep competition from previous winners like Bryan Cranston of “Breaking Bad,” Hugh Laurie of “House”, Glenn Close of “Damages” and Mariska Hargitay of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Cranston is the likely winner in the Actor category, while Julianna Margulies of “The Good Wife” is a strong favorite for the Actress award. Outstanding Supporting Actor And Supporting Actress In A Drama Series The likely winners here are Terry O’Quinn for “Lost” and Christina Hendricks for “Mad Men.” Outstanding Comedy Series “Glee” has come out of its first season riding a wave of popularity and hype that landed it . But does the show have enough to beat out perennial favorites “The Office” and “30 Rock” and fend off competition from the other newcomer in this category, “Modern Family”? This is a tough one to call. Outstanding Lead Actor And Lead Actress In A Comedy Series “Glee” stars Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele have very tough competition in their respective categories. “30 Rock” star Alec Baldwin has won two Emmys for his portrayal of network exec Jack Donaghy. Baldwin’s co-star Tina Fey is also in the running, as are “Nurse Jackie” star Edie Falco, who won the Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series three times for her work on “The Sopranos,” and leader of “The Office” Steve Carell. Outstanding Supporting Actor And Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series As beloved as Chris Colfer is on “Glee,” he’s a long shot against his seasoned competition, which includes “How I Met Your Mother” scene-stealer Harris and Eric Stonestreet of “Modern Family.” Jane Lynch is a lock to take Supporting Actress for her work on “Glee”; the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences likely engraved her name on the trophy when nominations were announced. Outstanding Reality — Competition Program Perennial Emmy favorite “The Amazing Race” will likely beat out ratings juggernauts “American Idol” and “Dancing With The Stars.” “Project Runway” and “Top Chef” are also up for honors.
