2015 Emmy Predictions: Comedy Series

Unlike the race for Drama Series, Comedy Series is looking to be more of the same. To put it simply, all six nominees from last year should return. With the new Emmy rules, we'll most likely be adding Golden Globe winner Transparent to the mix.

However, there is room for some upsets.

Let me start off with the top contender. Five-time winner Modern Family (I just threw up a little) should have no problem returning.

After them we have critically darling Veep, Globe winner Transparent, and dark comedy Louie with strong chances in the category.

The last two nominees are ironically two shows about geeks that are completely different from each other. The Big Bang Theory has been slowly waning in support, despite Parsons winning (yet again) last year. However, the first nominee that could possibly drop out is Silicon Valley. Although, it didn't underperform last year, it certainly didn't blow us away with its nominations. Plus, it's poised to miss out on acting nominations yet again.

Looking to replace it is Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I think a lot of pundits are underestimating the Netflix series. It garnered extremely positive reviews and is looking to be another hit for the streaming service. Plus, having Tina Fey at the helm certainly can't hurt.

Other possibilities include the final season of Parks and Recreation or the yet to be seen Grace and Frankie, which Netflix will push hard for.
