The race for Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or TV movie is pretty much over. Matt Bomer is far and away the deserving frontrunner to win for his tragic performance in The Normal Heart. Martin Freeman (Sherlock: His Last Vow) has a small chance to upset, but I think an Emmy is more likely for his role in Fargo. Bomer's co-stars have little chance in my eyes since it's going to be difficult to choose between the three. Bomer is the clear standout from the pack.
As for the other nominees, grab some booze, throw on a tux, and get ready with your happy losing face because this race was over before it even started.
