Alec Baldwin
Nomination:
Alec Baldwin’s commanding onscreen presence, coupled with a riveting intensity and gravelly voice, won him big-screen acclaim in movies like “The Hunt for Red October” (1990) and “Glengarry Glen Ross” (1992). Off-screen, however, his outspoken liberal politics and his impatience with the Hollywood system limited his leading-man potential. Once his profile lowered in Hollywood, Baldwin divided his time between character film roles of varying size, New York stage productions, and political activism until the sitcom “30 Rock” (NBC, 2006-) offered him an ideal outlet for his cocky, breezy charm. After repeatedly threatening to quit acting, Baldwin suddenly found himself with a Golden Globe award and watched as his former leading-man image morphed him into that of a peerless comic actor. On “30 Rock” (NBC, 2006- ) Baldwin plays the bombastic and preening network VP Jack Donaghy, whose cultured air and haughty nonchalance serve as the perfect foil to the dressed-down immaturity of the rest of the cast. The actor scooped up an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in late 2008, calling his "30 Rock" gig "the best job I've ever had." Baldwin’s hot streak continued when he was nominated for his seventh Golden Globe, which he won in early 2009. Hot on the heels of his Globe win, Baldwin received a Screen Actors Guild award.
