Tonight’s the night for the Emmy Awards, so it’s time to finish off my predictions for the awards. Today, we’re focusing on the awards for Dramas. I most likely have seen most of these shows, so, unlike my annual Oscar predictions, I will not mostly be going on gut feel and word of mouth, but will have a somewhat informed decision.
Outstanding Drama
Better Call Saul
Downton Abbey
Game of Thrones
Homeland
House of Cards
Mad Men
Orange Is The New Black
Now that Breaking Bad has moved on, I’m assuming that Game of Thrones will take its place.
Outstanding Actress In A Drama
Taraji P. Henson, Empire
Tatiana Maslany, Orphan Black
Viola Davis, How To Get Away With Murder
Claire Danes, Homeland
Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men
Robin Wright, House of Cards
I was pleasantly surprised to see Tatiana Maslany finally recognized for her excellent work in Orphan Black, but I assume that Taraji P. Henson will take home the prize.
Outstanding Actor In A Drama
Kyle Chandler, Bloodline
Jeff Daniels, The Newsroom
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Liev Schreiber, Ray Donovan
Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul
Kevin Spacey, House of Cards
With the final season of Mad Men in the books, I assume that Jon Hamm will take home the trophy for his overall work on the series.
