HUGH LAURIE

Nominations: 10

In 2011, upon his sixth nomination as the titular medical problem solver on House, Laurie, 62, joked, “I’m very excited. This time I’m going to put a whole rabbit on my keychain.” Alas, the rabbit’s-foot upgrade didn’t work—and he came up empty for subsequent turns on The Night Manager and Veep.

“He’s one of our finest actors,” Roush says. “Maybe [Dr. Gregory] House was too much of a grouch?”
