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.
