2014 Emmy Predictions: Miniseries

[maxbutton id=”3″]
Miniseries is one of the few categories I can call a lock for a win. Fargo is far and away the frontrunner of the category. Although it didn’t overwhelm in the ratings, it opened to huge critical acclaim and received 18 nominations, second only to Game of Thrones. I can’t see a show upsetting them at this point, however if I had to pick a second place finisher, it would be American Horror Story: Coven. The anthology series picked up its first writing and directing nominations, which does show an increase in support.

Other than those two, it seems that all the other shows are out of the competition.

1. Fargo
2. American Horror Story: Coven
3. Treme
4. Luther
5. Bonnie and Clyde
6. The White Queen
