How is he the underdog?

As a regular viewer of Big Bang Theory I feel this award was well deserved. Congratulations Mr. Parsons!

He and Johnny Galecki were both nominated in this category. And usually when two people from the same show are nominated in the same category neither of them wins.

I hear ya, don't want you to think I don't like Jim (Sheldon) Parsons or the show. I actually think the show is fantastic! He did win last year and all you think about when you hear The Big Bang Theory is Sheldon did this or Sheldon did that. So, me personally don't think he was an underdog. IMO

I guess I was a little upset that Steve Carell from The Office didn't win AGAIN. Seeing as this was his last shot (for now) I was disappointed.

I agree it would have nice to see Steve Carell win. But i have a feeling his career is far from over and there will be awards in his future.

Agreed :)

How is he the underdog?
He's up against Huge movie stars like Alec Baldwin and Carrelll. Parsons'
Win was unexpected, Carrell was expected to win.

And TBBT has a lot of haters because it's a multi-camera.

Parsons deserves it over Carell.

Parsons deserves it over Carell.


In your own opinion of course...

I'm not even a huge fan of The Office but it's a disgrace that Carrell never won an Emmy for Michael Scott - he's an incredible character who made a huge mark on TV, much moreso than Jim Parsons' Sheldon. The Big Bang Theory is alright but nothing special if you ask me...besides Parsons won last year, he could've done without this year's win.
