No More 2nd Banana For Jon Cryer As He Moves Up to Lead Actor Category In Emmy Race - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

After six consecutive years of vying in the Supporting Actor in a Comedy race, Two and a Half Men‘s Jon Cryer reportedly will submit himself in the lead category at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards.

As noted by the Gold Derby awards-centric website, which first reported on the change-up, both Cryer (whose camp would not confirm the move) and then-costar Charlie Sheen submitted for Lead Actor during the first two years of Men‘s run, but with zero success. After Cryer downshifted to the supporting race starting in 2006, he netted a supporting nod every single year, while Sheen went on to amass four lead nods. Win-winning!

With Sheen “moved on” now, and the supporting comedy actor race as competitive as ever (thanks to the Modern Family men) — and, as Gold Derby points out, both Steve Carell (gone from The Office) and Matt LeBlanc (Episodes is not eligible this year) out of the mix, Cryer’s move seems prudent.

I don't hate Kutcher, in fact, he's not my problem with this season. It's the writing. Having said that, it's not like they'd ever give him an Emmy nomination, so why not? They clearly like Cryer. How much could it hurt? It's not like he'd win anyway!
