[Mook]

Season 2 was great because that Blackwater episode was the greatest thing ever put on television.

I'm not only talking about the effects/battle breh. The dialogue, acting, atmosphere, and cinematography were superb.

GoT is a fantasy it's never gonna get that emmy nod they just put it there because it couldn't be ignored.

Anyway

Homeland is way better than both Boardwalk and Mad Men off one season alone. But lets be real, its not even worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as Breaking Bad.

 

[Savior]

Ima check out homeland based off the hype yall givin it..this shyt better not suck.

 

[PasteGod]

Homeland season is one of the greatest shows to be on TV Clair the gawd

 

[Methodical]

Homeland is great show ever I've seen it. So, I have no problem they giving awards to them. They put great performances. That show had me

 

[AkaDemiK]

Homeland -season 1 was

I love Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Boardwalk though.. you can't go wrong with any of those shows

This and add Game Of Thrones to that mix

All of these shows are incredible. I don't care which wins an award, except I need BB to win next year after it ends.

 

[Bigbigguy]

It is and I watch Breaking Bad

 

[hex]

Some of yall are some band wagon hopping motherfukkers.

"Homeland" had a few fans on here....a few. The most that was said about it was "damn, this show is great, more people need to watch it".

Now it wins a few Emmys and it's the GOAT and has the GOAT drama first season and it's top 5 all time and all this other crazy shyt.

Where was yall at a week ago? Matter of fact, Google the Emmys and set the search for last week or last month, "Homeland" was never even on the radar to win anything. Nobody seen it as a serious contender, now it's "I knew that shyt would win!".

And before somebody says I'm mad "BB" didn't win, it's well known I don't fukk with award shows. I just want yall to be honest and cut the bullshyt out.

Fred.

Homeland S1>Breaking Bad S4. I will agree that Cranston>Lewis tho

 

[feelosofer]

Homeland was the most underrated show on Showtime and like 5 people were checking for it. But I'm glad it got the award. Damian Lewis was incredible as a shellshocked war vet. The twists and turns were and you rarely saw any of them coming. Like I said in I thought Homeland was the best show you weren't watching.

Upsets, drama in store for TV's big Emmy night | Reuters

A night of upsets could be on the menu at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, with the countesses and kitchen maids of Britain's "Downton Abbey" bidding to end the reign of television's "Mad Men," while post-9/11 psychological thriller "Homeland" lurks close by

Claire Danes, who plays a bipolar CIA agent in "Homeland" tracking down a returning U.S. Iraq war hero who has been turned by Muslim extremists, is seen as a sure bet for taking home the best drama actress Emmy on Sunday.

"Homeland," with nine nominations and gushing reviews for its mix of cliffhangers, moral complexity and post-9/11 suspicion, and "Downton Abbey" have "the most buzz for any shows that I can recall," Gold said.

Tom O'Neil: Emmy Cliffhanger: Can Mad Men Set a New Record?

Currently, Mad Men is tied for top champ with L.A. Law, Hill Street Blues and The West Wing, but it has a curious edge -- it's never lost and it may be unbeatable on Sept 23. Five of the 13 experts polled by Gold Derby predict that it'll prevail again: Mo Ryan (HuffPo TV), Debra Birnbaum (TV Guide Magazine ), John Kubicek (BuddyTV), Daniel Manu (TelevisionWithoutPity) and me.

Five other pundits pick Breaking Bad: Maria Elena Fernandez (Newsweek Daily Beast), Elena Howe (L.A. Times), Rick Porter (Zap2It), Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby) and Ken Tucker (Entertainment Weekly). Backing Homeland are Maggie Furlong (HuffPo TV) and Jill Serjeant (Reuters). Matt Roush (TV Guide Magazine) stands alone forecasting an upset by Downton Abbey.

When all of the pundits' views are combined, the nominees are ranked thus, according to Gold Derby's race track odds:

1.) Mad Men -- 2/1
2.) Breaking Bad -- 21/10
3.) Homeland -- 5/1
4.) Downton Abbey -- 6/1
5.) Boardwalk Empire -- 50/1
6.) Game of Thrones -- 50/1

What makes this category so intriguing is that there are four serious contenders. That means a winner can emerge with a relatively small percentage of votes.

Downton Abbey and Homeland have the elitist appeal that Emmy voters usually demand. Like Mad Men, those shows have a stylish look. Homeland strongly resembles another past champ in this category -- slick espionage thriller 24 -- but it doesn't have as much uppity appeal as Downton Abbey.

Emmy Awards 2012: Predicting who TV's big winners will be - San Jose Mercury News

The lowdown: A victory would give "Mad Men" a record fifth trophy in this category. Although the moody period drama produced another superlative season, I have a hunch that Emmy is restless and ready to go home with someone else. If I had a vote, it would go to "Breaking
Bad," which has yet to win despite its enduring brilliance, or "Homeland," which was easily the year's best new drama. But this seems to be the year of the Brits, so I'm thinking that the voters fall for the sumptuous costumed splendor of "Downton Abbey."

The lowdown: While the best drama category is a brutally tough call, this one should be a slam dunk. Danes deserves to reign supreme for her riveting performance as a mentally troubled CIA analyst trying to squash a potential terrorist threat. If she doesn't win, the voters need a dose of electroshock therapy.

2012 Emmys --- Is the Thrill Gone? - New York TV | Examiner.com

Maybe after years of watching, I'm finally starting to develop a sense of ennui about what's going to happen in certain categories. Now don't get me wrong. After years of being indifferent, I've finally realized how good a show Breaking Bad is (more on that later) and I'm delighted to see Homeland looking like the favorite in the Best Drama category.

Best Drama

For the first time in four years, Mad Men is not the automatic favorite. Not only have Homeland and Boardwalk Empire dominated the pre-Emmy awards, it was completely shut out in last night's creative arts Emmys. For once, I wouldn't have a problem if AMC prevailed (Breaking Bad was exceptional this season), but I think the winner this year is going to be Homeland. The most well-written and twisted show of the year, it made 24 look tame by comparison. And considering that it's cliffhanger was far more emotional by comparison, this is a show that deserves to win.

Should Win/Will Win: Homeland

Best Actor, Drama

Time for another mea culpa: Bryan Cranston is as good as everybody says he is. And watching Walter White become the danger was frightening. If he wins, I won't be as upset as I was the last couple of years. That said, Damian Lewis' performance as POW turned sleeper agent Nick Brody was the most well done performance of the year. I always give extra credit to those actors whose performances have layers, and considering that not even he knew what he was going to do until the final act--- if that's not an Emmy recipe, I don't know what is

Should Win: Lewis

Will Win: Cranston

Best Actress, Drama

This is probably the easiest pick of the night. Claire Danes work as Carrie Matheson on Homeland was absolutely spectacular. Watching her deal with her obsession with Brody, her job at the Company, and her own psychosis--- that's an Emmy recipe. Add to the fact that there are probably voters who still think she was cheated for her work on My So-Called Life, now nearly twenty years in the past, and the fact that she's won both the Golden Globe and the Broadcast Critics Award, Best Actress is hers to win.

Should Win/Will Win: Danes.

Emmy predictions: Cranston and Louis C.K. primed for lead wins - latimes.com

Frankly, it’s difficult to imagine a scenario that doesn’t have Cranston at the winner’s podium. That’s not to say the other nominees are undeserving. In fact, we feel just as comfortable stumping for Lewis, whose raw, nerve-jangling acting in “Homeland’s” season finale (the episode Lewis submitted) covers its own wide swath of emotional ground.

Emmy predictions: Danes, Louis-Dreyfus head up lead actress races - latimes.com

And the winner is ... Danes. She's the top of the nominees, delivering career-best acting in a critically acclaimed show that voters genuinely dig. And, really, the competition offers little resistance. Close's camp couldn't run on the "this-is-her-year" platform that "Albert Nobbs" campaigners used in the last Oscar race, since Close has already won here twice and for better episodes, better seasons. Margulies took the category last year, but her show's exclusion for series doesn't bode well for a repeat.

Best drama, or can “Mad Men” hold off “Downton Abbey” and “Homeland”?

There’s a story in the New York Times today all about how psyched PBS is on “Downton Abbey’s” Emmy hopes. Objectively, Season 2 of the British costume drama was inconsistent — Matthew’s vanishing paralysis! Bates turning into a whiny maybe-murderer! That amnesiac heir covered in bandages!— but it’s got momentum, more viewers than “Mad Men” and an audience who doesn’t really care how bad it can be. Moreover, “Mad Men” has won best drama four years in a row, and no show has ever won five in a row. If “Downton’s” not the show to upset “Mad Men,” there’s always Showtime’s far more deserving “Homeland.”

Emmy predictions and who should win

WILL WIN Danes, as close to "certainty" as any one or any show in the entire 64th annual ceremony.
