Since I have a passionate love for television, every year I create my own version of the Emmy awards (where the nominations should replace the legit ones). In this blog series, I will post one category daily and review it. I'll announce my nominations and then my winner.

The fifteenth category is Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. This year's category is great. Last year, I would have had 3 of the same nominees, but the other 3 are new and really give the category a lot of flavor. I love every single actor in this category and I don't think there is a weak person in this bunch.
My nominees are:
Louis C.K. as Himself – Louie
Will Forte as Phil Miller – The Last Man On Earth
William H. Macy as Frank Gallagher – Shameless
Chris Messina as Dr. Danny Castellano – The Mindy Project
Thomas Middleditch as Richard – Silicon Valley
Jeffrey Tambor as Maura Pfefferman – Transparent
And the winner is...

Thomas Middleditch as Richard Hendrix from Silicon Valley! Coming into this year's season of Silicon Valley, I didn't have high expectations. Many people loved the first season, but I just didn't find it to be very funny. However, I realized why people liked this show during the second season through Richard's performance. Richard is a true nerd. He's not The Big Bang Theory Sheldon type of nerd. His performance makes him a BELIEVABLE person. The many layers that Richard has to his character is vaster than I expected. The way he acts is cringeworthy but enjoyable. I think that the show simply wouldn't be as good if Thomas Middleditch wasn't a part of it. I can't wait for the next season.

This year's winner was REALLY hard to pick SurvivorSeth
He does a great job, but the reason he didn't win is because he's essentially playing himself and didn't do exceptionally better than he had in previous seasons Dash
