[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…
[maxbutton id="3"] The guest categories are very difficult to predict this year since instead of getting an edited version of submitted episodes with just the scenes that the nominees appear in, voters will get the entire episode. This is going to hurt the contenders with smaller screen time in their episode. Just based on submissions,…
While the Emmys are known for their repetitive nominees and general stubbornness to let any one go, this year had its fair share of shockers. Now, nominees like Melissa McCarthy (Mike and Molly) and Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom) were surprising, but nor necessarily shocking. The nominees I'm talking about are the ones the made my…

However, when critics awarded Jessica Lange (American Horror Story: Coven), which doesn't seem important, but for…
Writing categories are some of my favorite categories in all entertainment awards shows, but they really do rule supreme for me at the Emmys. Why? Because TV writing can be so good and emotionally taxing, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but it can also absolutely suck. So any award that appreciates good writing is one that…
[maxbutton id="3"] With the Emmy nominations announcement quickly approaching I thought it would be helpful to see what shows will reap the most nominations. For this list I only considered awards that are presented on the main telecast and the guest categories. Right now, I have Breaking Bad leading the nominations with nine. I think their…
[maxbutton id="3"] The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has dominated this category since 2003 winning for 10 consecutive years.
