In an effort to curb leaks and rumors surrounding the Emmy Awards online, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences released the top 10 finalists in the best comedy and best drama series categories for this year’s Emmys.

To narrow the list down to the top five, the Academy will hold blue-ribbon screenings, conducted the last weekend in June, with the results of those votes combined with the votes from members to determine the top shows.

The top 10 comedy series are: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, Family Guy, Flight of the Conchords, The Office, Pushing Daisies, 30 Rock, Two and a Half Men, Ugly Betty and Weeds.

The top 10 drama series are: Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, Friday Night Lights, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Lost, Mad Men, The Tudors and The Wire.
