Best Directing - Drama Series Lost - "Pilot"
-A spectacular episode. I'll be surprised if it doesn't win.

Best Television Movie The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
-It's 6 Emmy wins last Sunday shows that Emmy voters love this movie. I expect it to win this easily.

Best Miniseries Empire Falls
-A highly publized miniseries and an all star cast will push it to victory. Elvis deserves to win.

Best Actor - TV Movie/Miniseries Geoffrey Rush, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
