First of all, let me quickly profess my love for Twenty One Pilots. I've been following them since the independent release of their self titled, seen…
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…
With the Oscars now over, it's time to shift our attention to the small screen and look ahead to the 2015 Emmy Awards. This year is like no other, with multiple changes to the Emmy rulebook, which will throw a wrench into several shows. The first new rule is probably the most shocking. The Academy…
UPDATED 6/15/15 For Best Drama Series, we're definitely going to see the perennial nominees like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, and House of Cards.

What's better than the same 5 guys being nominated for SAG, Golden Globes, and Oscars? Maybe the same guy winning. J.K. Simmons has swept his way through the awards season on the coattails of his now infamous character of Fletcher, the abusive jazz director that demands excellence and a commitment to honoring the greats. There's…
The last time the winner of Best Picture wasn't at least nominated for Best Film Editing was 1980 when Ordinary People won the top prize. That's a long time. To make the trend even stronger, in 2005 Best Picture frontrunner Brokeback Mountain lost out to Crash. Guess what film wasn't nominated for Best Film Editing. Boyhood had a fight on it's hand…

This is going to be a hard category to get right. There are three extremely strong contenders that are all Best Picture nominees and all have their own strengths. The first possibility is Birdman.
