An important argument pro Sean Bean is that, unlike Michael C. Hall and Jon Hamm, he managed to make quite an impression in the short space of one season, which on top of that only contains ten episodes. In the actress section however, I'd fend for Juliana Margulies (The Good Wife) over Lena Headey: Margulies' acting is beyond par, and other than Headey, she has a leading role. Peter Dinklage deserves his nomination for best supporting role as much as Emilia Clarke does, and I hope that one of them wins that Emmy. I'm mightily impressed with both, but I tend towards Emilia Clarke: her role is more difficult and lacks the comic relief, and she's managed to thoroughly convey Daenerys' development.
