Jordin Althaus/NBC, Jaimie Trueblood/HBO, ABC/CRAIG SJODIN, Carin Bae/FOX, Ron Batzdorff/Starz EntertainmentWelcome back for day two of the fabulous 2009 Tater Tops! Voting will be in no particular order—we're hoping to keep you on your toes—so today we're jumping from Best Comedy to Breakout Star. And as you can see from the photo above, the nominees are Nelsan Ellis from True Blood, Yvonne Strahotski from Chuck, Kevin McKidd from Grey's Anatomy, Miracle Laurie from Dollhouse and Adam Scott from Party Down.
If you want to cast a vote for any of those five, or if you just want to yell at us in the comments for missing the most obvious breakout star of the season, jump inside.
Christina in E! Online Photo: Why do you appear to be giving away a gold, spray-painted potato for your Tater Top Awards?
Thank you for reminding us that the Golden Tater award might not make a ton of sense to E! Online readers who aren't old-timey fans of Watch With Kristin, and possibly even then. So, back in the day, when Kristin was Wanda, we all used to be her couch potatoes, which was eventually shortened to taters. From taters came Tater Tops (by way of the delicious snack food, tater tots), and eventually, she created the actual esteemed statue, the Golden Tater. So here we are. Now vote!
