With the\u00a0Emmy Awards scheduled for Sunday night, it’s time for day three of my predictions for the\u00a0awards, today focusing on Drama shows.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
Breaking Bad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Downton Abbey<\/em><\/p>\n Game of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n Homeland<\/em><\/p>\n Mad Men<\/em><\/p>\n This is a tough one, as I can see either Breaking Bad<\/em>, Downton Abbey<\/em>, or Game of Thrones<\/em> taking home the prize. \u00a0Given the amount of press it is getting in its now airing final season, my guess is that Breaking Bad<\/em> takes home the prize.<\/p>\n Connie Britton, Nashville<\/em><\/p>\n Claire Danes, Homeland<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Michelle Dockery, Downton Abbey<\/em><\/p>\n Vera Farmiga, Bates Motel<\/em><\/p>\n Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men<\/em><\/p>\n Kerry Washington, Scandal<\/em><\/p>\n Robin Wright, House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n I think Claire Danes will take this for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n Hugh Bonneville, Downton Abbey<\/em><\/p>\n Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Jeff Daniels, The Newsroom<\/em><\/p>\n Jon Hamm, Mad Men<\/em><\/p>\n Damian Lewis, Homeland<\/em><\/p>\n Kevin Spacey, House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n Damian Lewis took this award last year, but I think this will be Breaking Bad<\/em>‘s night, which means that Bryan Cranston will have another trophy to lord over the Adam Carollas of the world.<\/p>\n Anna Gunn, Breaking Bad<\/em><\/p>\n Maggie Smith, Downton Abbey<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n Christine Baranski, The Good Wife<\/em><\/p>\n Morena Baccarin, Homeland<\/em><\/p>\n Christina Hendricks, Mad Men<\/em><\/p>\n Just like the comedy version of this category, I think Emmy voters will go with what they know and give Maggie Smith another victory, her second consecutive.<\/p>\n Bobby Cannavale, Boardwalk Empire<\/em><\/p>\n Jonathan Banks, Breaking Bad<\/em><\/p>\n Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Jim Carter, Downton Abbey<\/em><\/p>\n Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n Mandy Patinkin, Homeland<\/em><\/p>\n I expect that Aaron Paul will continue to give Breaking Bad<\/em> a night to remember.<\/p>\n Margo Martindale, The Americans<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Diana Rigg, Game of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n Carrie Preston, The Good Wife<\/em><\/p>\n Linda Cardellini, Mad Men<\/em><\/p>\n Jane Fonda, The Newsroom<\/em><\/p>\n Joan Cusack, Shameless<\/em><\/p>\n I’m not exactly sure how Joan Cusack qualifies as a guest on Shameless as she’s in nearly every episode if not every episode, but it’s a moot point either way. \u00a0I think Margo Martindale takes home the award for her work as a Soviet spy handler in 1980s America.<\/p>\n Nathan Lane, The Good Wife<\/em><\/p>\n Michael J. Fox, The Good Wife<\/em><\/p>\n Rupert Friend, Homeland<\/em><\/p>\n Robert Morse, Mad Men<\/em><\/p>\n Harry Hamlin, Mad Men<\/em><\/p>\n Dan Bucatinsky, Scandal<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In this particular case, I am going to cheat a bit. \u00a0I’m pretty sure some of these awards were handed out last weekend in the non-televised ceremony and Twitter let me in on the results of this particular race. \u00a0I guess that means that I will get at least one right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the\u00a0Emmy Awards scheduled for Sunday night, it’s time for day three of my predictions for the\u00a0awards, today focusing on Drama shows.\u00a0 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 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[3804,3796,3787,3802,3733,2998,3791,3812,3801,3799,382,2568,1423,3820,3810,3806,3761,3798,840,3811,3819,1567,3795,3790,3814,3792,3805,3816,3793,3803,3788,3794,3813,694,3797,3808,3809,3413,3785,3800,3732,3042,3807,3818,3789,3817,3821,1569,2945,219,3815,3786],"class_list":["post-4616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-television","tag-aaron-paul","tag-anna-gunn","tag-bates-motel","tag-boardwalk-empire","tag-bobby-cannavale","tag-breaking-bad","tag-bryan-cranston","tag-carrie-preston","tag-christina-hendricks","tag-christine-baranski","tag-claire-danes","tag-connie-britton","tag-damian-lewis","tag-dan-bucatinsky","tag-diana-rigg","tag-downton-abbey","tag-elisabeth-moss","tag-emilia-clarke","tag-emmys","tag-game-of-thrones","tag-harry-hamlin","tag-homeland","tag-house-of-cards","tag-hugh-bonneville","tag-jane-fonda","tag-jeff-daniels","tag-jim-carter","tag-joan-cusack","tag-jon-hamm","tag-jonathan-banks","tag-kerry-washington","tag-kevin-spacey","tag-linda-cardellini","tag-mad-men","tag-maggie-smith","tag-mandy-patinkin","tag-margo-martindale","tag-michael-j-fox","tag-michelle-dockery","tag-morena-baccarin","tag-nathan-lane","tag-oscars","tag-peter-dinklage","tag-robert-morse","tag-robin-wright","tag-rupert-friend","tag-scandal","tag-shameless","tag-the-americans","tag-the-good-wife","tag-the-newsroom","tag-vera-farmiga"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4616"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4621,"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4616\/revisions\/4621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/learningturkey.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Outstanding Actress In A Drama<\/h3>\n
