Emmy Predictions Part Two

Last time I wrote about my predictions for the major programs (Drama, Comedy, etc) and now I will actually go into the depth of the categories (acting, directing, writing, etc) and give my thoughts on who will win.

 

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

Who Should Win: Louis C.K. I've heard nothing but good things about his show and it would be nice to not always have to award go to Parsons.

Who Will Win: Jim Parsons. He is the current king of the television comedy world with the number one rated/watched show, so I'm sure he'll win again.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Who Should Win: Amy Poehler. Seriously, she needs some love for all of her amazing Parks and Rec work.

Who Will Win: Julie Louis-Dreyfus. She's an Emmy favorite and has already won in this category 3 times in the last 9 years (most recently, two times in a row). Alternate choice: Taylor Schilling. OITNB is the hot show of the moment and with the win of Uzo Aduba ("Crazy Eyes), this could be her moment to win for the show.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Who Should Win: Jesse Tyler Ferguson. He's been nominated 4 times and has lost to other MF castmates. This may be his year due to his wedding storyline.

Who Will Win: Tony Hale. Veep is a serious favorite for the Emmy voters (see Julie Louis-Dreyfus) and he also won last year so this is a pretty good lock.


Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Who Should Win: Kate Mulgrew. Red has been such a strong force on the show and I would love to see her win.

Who Will Win: This is a serious toss-up. Since Merritt Weaver's upset win last year, Emmy voters have shown they can vote outside the box. So I'm giving to to either Anna Chumlsky or Allison
Janney

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series

Who Should Win: Matthew McConaughey/Kevin Spacey. Either or both of these guys put out some amazing performances and it would be nice to see one of them win over Cranston.

Who Will Win: Bryan Cranston. He won 3 times previously for the first 3 seasons. This will be the final time he is nominated for BB, so this may be his swan song due to the incredible critical and audience acclaim for Walter White.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series

This is also a difficult one. Claire Danes has won 2 times in a row and this years episode that she is nominated for, is considered the best of the season. But Kerry Washington has been amazing as Olivia Pope and Robin Wrightis flawless as Claire Underwood. Although Lizzy Caplan did amazing in Masters of Sex.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Yes I'm biased, but I really think Peter Dinklage killed it this year with his trial speech. It'll be a tough race but since he has won it before, he has a decent chance.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

I really want Lena Headey to win as the fabulously terrible (and fashionable) Cersei Lannister. But Maggie Smith has been killing it lately and Joanne Froggatt had an amazing season as Anna Bates.

There are a bunch more but those are the main ones that many will focus on. Tomorrow I will have out my roundup.

Emmy Predictions Part One

As promised, here are my Emmy predictions for the broadcast. I'll put down who I hope will win and who will actually win (a la Entertainment Weekly). For some reason the Emmy's are airing on a Monday (due to football, I guess), but I wont let having to work all day mess with me catching the red carpet. haha Since I haven't read much on predictions and I'm worse at predicting Emmy's than Oscar's, it'll be interesting to see how things out. The night of the show I will take score and see how I did and what I though of the winners/the show in preparation for my round-up blog.

Outstanding Comedy Series

        Who Should Win: Orange is the New Black. I absolutely love this show. It has amazing diversity and character development and does a great job of showing the prison microcosm.

        Who Will Win: Modern Family. Emmy voters are obsessed with this show and it has already won this award 4 times in a row. I will be happy if I get this one wrong and OITNB or something else wins just to keep this award fresh.

Outstanding Drama Series

       Who Should Win: Game of Thrones, True Detective. In my perfect world, these shows would win with a tie because they both did amazing things with their subject matter. I was raised on Mystery/Suspense as much as I was in Fantasy, so these shows have been amazing for me to watch.

       Who Will Win: Breaking Bad. Honestly they earned it with Ozymandias, an episode people still talk about to this day as being the best thing they've seen. Plus it's their final year, so I'm fine with them taking it.

Outstanding Variety Series

       Who Should Win: The Tonight Show Starring Jmmy Fallon. Despite the criticism, he's put up nice numbers and has some really memorable sketches.

       Who Will Win: The Colbert Report. Fresh off its win last year, I feel like this is primed to give Colbert the crown again as he heads off to the Late Show.

Outstanding Miniseries

      Who Should Win: American Horror Story: Coven. Bassett, Bates, Lange. Need I say more?

      Who Will Win: Fargo. I still think it'll be between this and AHS, but I've heard very good things about this show. It'll come down to which Hollywood heavyweights the voters prefer honestly.

Hmm but I'm torn. Since the Movie/series categories were merged, Asylum and Murder House both lost to movies, so the voters may want to give it to AHS this year to make up for past years and the casts fantastic work. Plus Angela Basset was amazing. So if it doesn't go to AHS, I'm sure it'll got to Fargo.

Outstanding Television Movie

      Who Should Win: The Normal Heart. Critical acclaim and the subject matter fits with previous winners (serious real-life issue/event).

      Who Will Win: The Normal Heart. HBO has been on a serious win streak (they're not bound by the same FCC restrictions) in this category.

Outstanding Reality- Competition Program

      Who Should Win: The Amazing Race. *see below*

      Who Will Win: The Amazing Race. They lost last year due to the novelty of The Voice, but I'm sure they will reclaim their crown.

Summer Break

Since the school year is coming up, I figure it would be a great time to start blogging again,
Since I last posted:

I've been making a costume for a competition (I might make a post about how I made it)
Studying for the GRE
...and trying to do as little as possible when I could.haha

 I'll probably restructure so I'm not super overwhelmed.

Also the Emmy's are on on Monday, so I will try to have my predictions set up.

Going back in October!!!
