Neil Patrick Harris: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
How I Met Your Mother's Barney
On where he'll put his Emmy if he wins: "I have a People’s Choice Award right next to the Optimist International local award, which was the first award I won when I was 11 years old. So they are right next to each other…[they are] in the office - the media room, [it] seems a little pretentious to put it anywhere else."
On the episode he submitted for the nomination: "I submitted “The Goat,” which was the episode where I talk about the “Bro Code.” I’m on the outs with Ted. We have a fight in a limo…it is hard because we are a multi-camera show and we are competing with one camera more dramatic shows like Entourage and even The Office and so I wanted to submit something that showed a little bit of an arc, that had a little bit more of the dramatic stuff rather than just wacky, wacky, wacky funny stuff and I thought that was appropriate."
