Gabriel Byrne, Eddie Izzard and James Spader will be among the stars fighting for a Best Drama Actor honour at the Emmy Awards, while pregnant Minnie Driver and Sally Field are favourites for the Best Actress prize.
The quintet has been selected among the 20 semi-finalists on a shortlist.
Driver and Izzard are nominated for The Riches, while Byrne gets a nod for playing a psychiatrist in In Treatment. Boston Legal gave Spader the chance to fight for an Emmy.

It looks like at least one actor -- or should we say actress -- has a chance of making one of Emmy's prestigious acting categories. Mary McDonnell, who plays President Laura Roslin in "Battlestar Galactica," has turned up on an unofficial shortlist for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series. The list is not technically official, but is what reportedly is being considered by a blue ribbon panel, according to Tom Oh! and GoldDerby.com. The list, which will be pared down to just five people, includes McDonnell as well as Patricia Arquette from "Medium," Glenn Close from "Damages," Minnie Driver from "The Riches," Sally Field from "Brothers & Sisters," Mariska Hargitay from "Law and Order: Svu," Holly Hunter from "Saving Grace," Elisabeth Moss from "Mad Men," Kyra Sedgwick from ...

Emmy's winners for acting are chosen in a three-tier system by actors who belong to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. During the first two weeks of June, they participate in a popular vote that determines a Top 10 runoff in each race. Finalists submit a sample episode of their best work to judges, whose scores are combined by accountants in a 50-50 mix with results of the original popular vote. The five nominees in each category are then announced July 17. Winners are decided based on judges' scores of the sample episodes and are revealed at the awards ceremony to
