	Well, since no one else was prepared to take this on, here goes: 50 Biggest Emmy Snubs: No. 50-26 50. WILLIAM B. DAVIS The X-Files "If David Duchovny's Mulder and Gillian Anderson's Scully were the heart and soul of The X-Files, then William B. Davis' Cigarette Smoking Man was its blackened lung. Indeed, Davis' ominous presence was as vital to the supernatural drama as black oil, alien implants, and Scully's skepticism, and that makes the actor's failure to score an Emmy nod yet another of the show's mysteries we'll probably never figure out. â€”Michael Slezak" There was something acutely scary/sleazy about Davis; and ironically I don't think he smoked in real life.

	49. ANDY DICK Newsradio "Now he just gets in trouble, but Andy Dick used to be really funny — especially as NewsRadio's cat-loving idiot savant street reporter Matthew Brock. Yeah, it took us five seasons to figure out exactly what Matthew did, but that was part of his charm. We would have definitely voted for Dick's spastic performance in the episode where Matthew imagines the Hamburglar is framing him for breaking the station's coffee pots. (Hey, Rainn Wilson earned a nod last year for playing the office weird guy; Andy should have too!) —Aubry D'Arminio" A. Dick is part irritating, part hilarious, which is his problem.

	48. ELLEN POMPEO Grey's Anatomy "Pompeo's character, the ever-mopey Meredith Grey, is so polarizing that it's hard to envision her ever getting an Emmy nod. But honestly: Those sad eyes, Ã¼berpouty lips, and woeful voiceover deserve a little love from the Academy. Plus, the girl has been through some of TV's most emotionally draining scenes. Especially last season, when she literally scrubbed blood off her own kitchen floor and had flashbacks to her mother's suicide attempt. Now that's worthy of a statue â€” or at least a little respect. â€”Tanner Stransky" Nahhhhhh.

	47. KEITH CARRADINE Deadwood "Standing out in a rough-and-tumble, dirt-caked mining town filled with ''c---sucker''-spewing badasses (like Emmy-nominated Ian McShane's Machiavellian bar owner Al Swearengen) ain't easy, but Carradine effortlessly commanded every scene in his five episodes as Wild Bill Hickok. With a cool gaze and languid air, he portrayed the legendary lawman-gunslinger in his final days, drawn into a haze of booze and poker that left him unprepared for an assassin's bullet. —Erin E. Stevenson"

	Deadwood was a show before it's time. People will look back at it in 20 years and give it somekinda crazy cult status. It was like A Clockwork Orange, but for TV. -----signature----- It's not so much emotional baggage, as it's a bunch of overstuffed black hefty bags in the trunk of my car.

	DEADWOOD is amazing. That is all. It really sucks that the guys at HBO aren't going to get their act together and make the final two telemovies to wrap the whole thing up. I watched the whole series in its entirety in summer of '07, and I remember being perpetually amazed at Keith Carradine and devastated that his character went out so early, but I guess there were reasons for that. Another show that Carradine is fantastic in is the second season of DEXTER. I don't know if he's in the third.

	Don't have HBO, so I hope this shows up on the local history channel soon.

	46. CRIME STORY "Okay, let me make this simple: It's a show about crime, criminals, and the poor saps who take it upon themselves to stop them. It starred Dennis Farina. And it was executive produced by Michael Frakking Mann. When the arithmetic is this easy and you still don't get a nod, you know something's wrong with the system. —Marc Bernardin" This was a great, great show. Didn't last long, but what there was was cherce.

	45. ALIAS "It had all the makings of Emmy gold: spy-fi, action, drama, intrigue….and J.J. Abrams. Jennifer Garner (plucked from a guest starring role on Abrams' first TV project, Felicity) waskick-butt perfection as CIA agent Sydney Bristow. Sure, things got a little hairy in the middle seasons with Vaughn gone (note to producers: never hide the sexy, thinking-girls' man Michael Vartan) but quickly picked up its pace with that mind-blowing car crash and season four ender, almost matching the finale of season two where Sydney wakes up in Hong Kong unable to remember the prior two years. What more could Emmy want? —Loren Lankford"

	Ya know, i tried to like Alias, and it just never grabbed me. Part of the problem was that, in the early days, they'd end an episode on a cliffhanger and then, after commercial break, they'd give you "Scenes from next week", and SHOW YOU EXACTLY HOW THEY RESOLVE THE CLIFFHANGER! That was just... I don't even have words! -----signature----- Be sure to tune in for the Big Giveaway at 9!
