Tom Oh! and his GoldDerby.com buds have been busy, busy. On the heels of flagging the semifinalists in the Supporting Actor in a Drama and Lead Actress in a Comedy Emmy races, they now have sussed out the short (though not short est) list for Supporting Actress in a Drama... and Friday Night Lights fave Connie Britton ain't on it. Britton vied in the lead category last year and in doing so netted a top 10 nod, yet this time around she put herself up for supporting. And came up with nada, sadly.

The 10 semifinalists are:

Jane Alexander, Tell Me You Love Me
Candice Bergen, Boston Legal
Rose Byrne, Damages
Jill Clayburgh, Dirty Sexy Money
Sharon Gless, Burn Notice
Rachel Griffiths, Brothers & Sisters
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men
S. Epatha Merkerson, Law & Order
Sandra Oh, Grey's Anatomy
Dianne Wiest, In Treatment
Chandra Wilson, Grey's Anatomy
