After 5 seasons, Orphan Black drew to a close last August. Somehow, I’ve fallen very far behind on the show, having watched the first two seasons as they aired and missing the rest. I certainly plan to catch up someday, since Tatiana Maslany was a revelation, and I certainly look forward to whatever she does next.

2016 Emmy Awards – Drama
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
The Americans
Better Call Saul
Downton Abbey
Game of Thrones
Homeland
House of Cards
Mr. Robot
As much as I would like to see The Americans take home the trophy, I’m assuming that the love affair with Game of Thrones will continue.
Outstanding Actress In A Drama
Claire Danes, Homeland
Viola Davis, How To Get Away With Murder
Taraji P. Henson, Empire
Tatiana Maslany, Orphan Black
Keri Russell, The Americans
Robin Wright, House of Cards
If it were up to me, I’d give the award to either Keri Russell or Tatiana Maslany, but I assume that Viola Davis will take home the prize.
Outstanding Actor In A Drama
Kyle Chandler, Bloodline
Rami Malek, Mr. Robot
Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul
Matthew Rhys, The Americans
Liev Schreiber, Ray Donovan
Kevin Spacey, House of Cards
Some new blood in this category. I’m going with the long shot and picking Matthew Rhys.

2015 Emmy Awards – Drama
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.

2014 Emmy Awards – Drama
With the Emmy Awards scheduled for Monday night, it’s time for day three of 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
Breaking Bad
Downton Abbey
Game of Thrones
House of Cards
Mad Men
True Detective
Well, so much for having seen most of these. True Detective was the only one of these nominees that I’ve seen. This is a tough call, but I imagine that the final season of Breaking Bad takes home the prize.
Outstanding Actress In A Drama
Lizzy Caplan, Masters of Sex
Claire Danes, Homeland
Michelle Dockery, Downton Abbey
Julianne Margulies, The Good Wife
Kerry Washington, Scandal
Robin Wright, House of Cards
This past season of The Good Wife was spectacular, and a lot of that was due to Julianne Margulies. She should definitely take home the trophy, especially since Tatiana Maslany was overlooked again for her work in Orphan Black.
Outstanding Actor In A Drama
Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad
Jeff Daniels, The Newsroom
Jon Hamm, Mad Men
Woody Harrelson, True Detective
Matthew McConaughey, True Detective
Kevin Spacey, House of Cards
My guess is that this is a person race, between Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey and Bryan Cranston. I think this will be Breaking Bad‘s night once again, which means that Bryan Cranston will have another trophy to lord over the Adam Carollas of the world.
