Here's a look at some of the most unlikely upsets that could happen during the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Aug. 29.

-Anything but "Amazing Race" winning Outstanding Reality Competition Program. The CBS show has won all seven Outstanding Reality Competition Program awards that have been given out. The other contenders - "Dancing with the Stars," "American Idol," Project Runway" and "Top Chef" - are all popular shows, but in this category, they're all the underdogs.

-Jane Lynch losing. The "Glee" star has had the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series trophy wrapped up ever since she stepped into Sue Sylvester's track suit. The other nominees - Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara (both for "Modern Family"), Kristen Wiig ("Saturday Night Live"), Jane Krakowski ("30 Rock") and Holland Taylor ("Two and a Half Men") - will likely go home awards-less.

-Lea Michele winning. The Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category is stacked with comedic heavy-hitters. With competition like Amy Poehler ("Parks and Recreation"), Edie Falco ("Nurse Jackie"), Julie Louis-Dreyfus ("The New Adventures of Old Christine"), Toni Collette ("United States of Tara") and Tina Fey ("30 Rock"), it's unlikely Emmy will be singing her tune on awards night.

-Anyone beating Alec Baldwin. He's won the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series award two years running for "30 Rock." It's a tough category, with competition coming from Steve Carell ("The Office"), Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory"), Matthew Morrison ("Glee"), Tony Shalhoub ("Monk") and Larry David ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), but, barring a major upset, Jack Donaghy will come out on top again.
