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
The Crown
The Handmaid’s Tale
House of Cards
Stranger Things
This Is Us
Westworld
I watched two of these, but I don’t expect either of them to win. With Westworld being HBO’s only entry, my guess is it will take home the prize.
Outstanding Actress In A Drama
Viola Davis, How To Get Away With Murder
Claire Foy, The Crown
Elisabeth Moss, The Handmaid’s Tale
Keri Russell, The Americans
Evan Rachel Wood, Westworld
Robin Wright, House of Cards
If it were up to me, I’d give the award to either Keri Russell, but I assume that Viola Davis will take home the prize.
Outstanding Actor In A Drama
Sterling K. Brown, This Is Us
Anthony Hopkins, Westworld
Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul
Matthew Rhys, The Americans
Liev Schreiber, Ray Donovan
Kevin Spacey, House of Cards
Milo Ventimiglia, This Is Us
Some new blood in this category. I’m assuming that Brown and Ventimiglia will split the vote and leave Sir Hopkins to claim victory.
