2014 Emmy Predictions: Lead Actor in a Miniseries/TV Movie

[maxbutton id=”3″]
The race for Lead Actor in a Miniseries/TV Movie is a tough one to hash out. Manu pundits have Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton (Fargo) leading to win by a large margin, but I don't think it's a slam dunk like many think. (The Normal Heart) gave a phenomenal and passionate performance, while Martin Freeman (Fargo) had a more comedic performance that was more focused towards the beginning of the miniseries. Voters are expected to watch the miniseries and movies in their entirety, however it is quite known that voters focus more on the beginning of the miniseries. So, in this case Freeman leads the race. Right now, I think Thornton still wins, but I'm going to do a bunch of switching in the coming weeks.

1. Billy Bob Thornton, Fargo
2. The Normal Heart
3. Martin Freeman, Fargo
4. Dancing on the Edge
5. Sherlock: His Last Vow
6. , Luther
