\"Emmy_statue\"<\/a>With the\u00a0Emmy Awards scheduled for Sunday night, here\u2019s day two of my predictions for the\u00a0awards, today focusing on reality shows and made for TV movies.\u00a0 I likely have seen not seen most (any?) of these, so I will probably not have an informed decision, but when has that ever stopped me.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Reality Show Host<\/h3>\n

Alec Baldwin, Match Game<\/em><\/p>\n

W. Kamau Bell,\u00a0United Shades Of America<\/em><\/p>\n

RuPaul Charles,\u00a0RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, Project Runway<\/em><\/p>\n

Gordon Ramsay, MasterChef Junior<\/em><\/p>\n

Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party<\/em><\/p>\n

RuPaul\u00a0already took home the prize for hosting the long-running hit.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Reality Show Competition<\/h3>\n

The Amazing Race<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

American Ninja Warrior<\/em><\/p>\n

Project Runway<\/em><\/p>\n

RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/em><\/p>\n

Top Chef<\/em><\/p>\n

The Voice<\/em><\/p>\n

The Amazing Race<\/em> is the usual favorite in this category and I don’t see a reason for that to change this year.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Variety Talk Series<\/h3>\n

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee<\/em><\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/em><\/p>\n

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/em><\/p>\n

The Late Late Show with James Corden<\/em><\/p>\n

Real Time with Bill Maher<\/em><\/p>\n

A little more turnover here, thanks to the ongoing changes that is the late night landscape.\u00a0 I think John Oliver and his HBO show, Last Week Tonight<\/em>, certainly deserves the award.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Variety Sketch Series<\/h3>\n

Billy On The Street<\/em><\/p>\n

Documentary Now!<\/em><\/p>\n

Drunk History<\/em><\/p>\n

Portlandia<\/em><\/p>\n

Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tracey Ullman’s Show<\/em><\/p>\n

Given the election boost, I’m going to give the nod to SNL<\/em> this time around.<\/p>\n

Outstanding TV Miniseries<\/h3>\n

Big Little Lies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fargo<\/em><\/p>\n

Feud: Bette and Joan<\/em><\/p>\n

Genius<\/em><\/p>\n

The Night Of<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve only seen one of these all the way through, so I’ll pick it to win.<\/p>\n

Outstanding TV Movie<\/h3>\n

Black Mirror: San Junipero<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love<\/em><\/p>\n

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks<\/em><\/p>\n

Sherlock: The Lying Detective<\/em><\/p>\n

The Wizard of Lies<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, not really a TV movie, but San Junipero<\/em> was one of the best things I watched last year, so I will pick it to win.<\/p>\n

Lead Actress In A TV Miniseries or Movie<\/h3>\n

Carrie Coon,\u00a0Fargo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Felicity Huffman, American Crime<\/em><\/p>\n

Nicole Kidman, Big Little Lies<\/em><\/p>\n

Jessica Lange, Feud: Bette and Joan<\/em><\/p>\n

Susan Sarandon, Feud: Bette and Joan<\/em><\/p>\n

Reese Witherspoon, Big Little Lies<\/em><\/p>\n

I just want Carrie Coon to win for something.\u00a0 Please.<\/p>\n

Lead Actor In A TV Miniseries or Movie<\/h3>\n

Riz Ahmed, The Night Of<\/em><\/p>\n

Benedict Cumberbatch,\u00a0Sherlock: The Lying Detective<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert DeNiro, The Wizard of Lies<\/em><\/p>\n

Ewan McGregor, Fargo<\/em><\/p>\n

Geoffrey Rush, Genius<\/em><\/p>\n

John Turturro, The Night Of<\/em><\/p>\n

My guess is that super-Brit Benedict Cumberbatch takes home the award for his role in the BBC’s updated version of Sherlock Holmes.<\/p>\n

Outstanding\u00a0Supporting Actress In A\u00a0TV Miniseries or Movie<\/h3>\n

Judy Davis, Feud: Bette and Joan<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Laura Dern, Big Little Lies<\/em><\/p>\n

Jackie Hoffman,\u00a0Feud: Bette and Joan<\/em><\/p>\n

Regina King, American Crime<\/em><\/p>\n

Michelle Pfeiffer, The Wizard of Lies<\/em><\/p>\n

Shailene Woodley, Big Little Lies<\/em><\/p>\n

My best guess, having missed most\u00a0of this quality programming, is that Judy Davis will be bringing home the trophy.<\/p>\n

Outstanding\u00a0Supporting Actor In A\u00a0TV Miniseries or Movie<\/h3>\n

Bill Camp, The Night Of<\/em><\/p>\n

Alfred Molina, Feud: Bette and Joan<\/em><\/p>\n

Alexander Skarsgard, Big Little Lies<\/em><\/p>\n

David Thewlis, Fargo<\/em><\/p>\n

Stanley Tucci, Feud: Bette and Joan<\/em><\/p>\n

Michael K. Williams, The Night Of<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have literally no idea, so I’ll go with Mr. Williams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
