Kelsey Grammer won this year's Golden Globe for Best Actor for his starring role in Boss, the Starz drama about a ruthless Chicago mayor, so you might be wondering why the Emmys failed to even nominate him. Jay Leno wondered, so he asked Grammer what he thought of the slight when the actor visited The Tonight Show last night. "It may have to do with several things, honestly, but I think it's possible... I mean, I am a... I'm a declared out of the closet Republican in Hollywood," said Grammer. He went on to say, "Do I believe it's possible that some young person, young voting actor -- or even older voting member for the Emmys -- would sit there and go, 'Yeah, that's a great performance, but ooooooooooooh, I just hate everything he stands for?' [Cue sarcasm.] I don't believe that's possible." Watch below:
