Primetime Emmy Nominations

[labelplant]

Here is who I PERSONALLY think deserves it out of the nominations only, because in several cases I would say someone who isn't even on the list: (in parenthesies is my prediction on who WILL win, not who should)

Drama Series
Breaking Bad (tough but I think it's between this and Mad Men)

Actor in a Drama Series
Bryan Cranston (I think he got it wrapped up)

Actress in a Drama Series
Claire Danes (No idea, the female from Good Wife maybe?)

Comedy Series
Girls (Modern Family gon' take it)

Actress in a Comedy Series
Zooey Deschanel (No idea)

ACtor in a Comedy Series
Louis C.K. (He deserves it easily if only because he has the best comedy but it didn't even get the nom., Someone from Modern Family will probably win though)

Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Ed O'Neill (deserves it and will win it)

Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Sofia Vergara (no idea who will win, chose her for my own reasons )

Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Peter Dinklage (got it underwraps at this point, I think but some great choices here )

Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Christina Hendricks (Once again just chose her because she has nice eyes )

Mini-Series or Movie
American Horror Story (Didn't watch any other ones besides this one)


My sleeper pick is Downton Abby... I'm not a huge fan but I think it might pull the upset for Best Drama, it's right up the emmy voters alley.

Parks & Rec not getting a best comedy nod, nor Nick Offerman

Nice to see Schmidt from New Girl got a nod, he had the funniest lines on the show.

I can't believe Ron Swanson the gawd didn't get a nom

And about Schmidt. He was defintiely the highlight of last season, Nick being a very close second.

Giancarlo and Idris better get their awards. And I'm glad to see New Girl getting some love, even though I think they picked the wrong actor for Best Supporting.

if Giancarlo wasn't nominated, it would have been a travesty.

Louis should have been nominated for best comedy

what in the holy fukk does Nick Offerman have to do to get nominated? He was supposed to announce the nominations. What a kick in the balls, was that supposed to be their make up call? "You didnt get nominated, but we're gonna let you mention all the guys who did... from the same fukkin show."

Modern Family is literally the same thing every week. I watched for 2 seasons and the shyt got so repetitive. Mitchell should not be nominated, no need for all of them. I don't think Ed O'Neill should be nominated either, Cam and Phil are clearly the standouts of that show. Sofia Vergara is one of the most overrated characters on tv, annoying as shyt. Julie Bowen >> Cant wait for next year when they deem the kids old enough, and fakkit Manny and retard Luke round out the nominees.

Also, really wanted Arya Stark from GOT to get a nomination, but I knew that was a pipedream. Best character on the best show going.

Also, watch them just let Downton Abby sweep. That's the type of bullshyt they pull.

I always let this shyt rile me up, cant help it

Emmy ain't giving the best Drama award to no Fantasy show.

They give it to a sci-fi show like Lost I don't see why Game of Thrones can't get it. And I'd take Mad Men over it, I just think if they decide to give it to another show, it's gonna be GoT, something different as hell.

Both Lost & The X-Files are the exception not the rule when it comes to a Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Supernatural genre show consistently getting love from the Emmys.

Damon Wayans Jr./the guy who plays Max on Happy Endings got dissed in these nominations though. One (or both) of them should have got a Best Supporting nod.

I foresee "Madmen" winning just because it's the safest choice. Fantasy shows ("GoT") don't win....and shows about murderous drug lords ("Breaking Bad") don't win either. Anything non-mainstream or "safe" has no chance of winning anything for Best Drama....look at "The Wire".

You're my nikka Fred, but the Mad Men hate will always be a point of contention.

@ American Horror Story being nominated. It was entertaining, but an Emmy? And how is it a miniseries?

I think its a mini series because every season is going to be a stand alone...different charcters, different locations, different story....nothing connected to the previos year.

 

[Box Cutta]

For those of us that enjoy camp, American Horror Story was everything it should have been and more.

I really like the fact that it was so unforgiving, everyone died and became a ghost. The demon child lived and will probably wreck havoc on earth. The school shooter got no real conclusion but no real comeuppance either. Lovely.

Breh I'm just keeping it 100. If "The Wire" was nominated the same year as "Mad Men", which do you think would win? "Mad Men" obviously, because "The Wire" never won any awards. Because of it's quality? Obviously not, it's the GOAT. So there has to be some kinda politics at play as far as who wins.

Honestly, I have a whole theory on The Wire not winning, but it would take too long. I see it less as politics and just question the diversity and social makeup of the Academy of Television and Sciences since they select the winners. Is it people choosing shows that appeal o them based on their life experiences. Is it people choosing shows based on the cast looking like they do. Or maybe it's snobbish mofos thinking liking a show like Game of Thrones doesn't make them look intellectual enough. But yea, I'm sure there's a tad bit of politics too.
