In E’s world, lots of The Good Wife actors and staff will get nominated.
In the real world, this is probably going to happen, too.
There honestly seems to be no doubt that this is the best drama on network tv. You’d be hard pressed to find a critic to dispute that. (Well, okay. This is the internet age. Dispute is easy. Still. It seems to be a truth universally accepted.) Julianna Margulies, Archie Panjabi and Christine Baranski have good shots at repeat nods. I’d like to think that either Alan Cummings or Matt Czurchy or Chris Noth had shots at a supporting nod, but I don’t really expect it will happen. Perhaps Cummings will get lucky, though.

Fox, being who he is, and considering the showy nature of his role, has a very solid shot. But of course, I’d like to see Martha Plimpton get notice for her incomparable Patti Nyholm. On the other hand, I’d be happy to see her score a Comedy nod for her excellent work in Raising Hope, even if it’s no where near as genius as what she does on TGW.
