I've been hesitant to predict this category. I think that the category is being battled out between two of the biggest critical darlings of the year. Veep did surprisingly well last year winning 3 awards, with surprises in two of the categories. This year they did even better increasing their nomination total from five to nine, including a crucial nomination in the writing category. However, Orange is the New Black performed extremely well for their first season as well. They score key writing and directing nominations, did solidly in the technicals, and led all new shows. I think there is a lot of support and buzz for the series, that's why I have them taking it.
Four-time champ Modern Family is looking to tie Fraiser for the most wins in this category. However, it's clear that there is a lot of waning support in the Academy. Although they did take the trophy last year, they only won in one other category. They also dropped in nominations, including losing out in two more supporting slots (Sofia Vergara and Ed O'Neill) in addition to Eric Stonestreet's surprise snub last year.
