\"Emmy_statue\"<\/a>Tonight’s the night for the Emmy Awards, so it’s time to finish off my predictions for the\u00a0awards. \u00a0Today, we’re\u00a0focusing on the awards for Dramas.\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

Outstanding Drama<\/h3>\n

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

Better Call Saul<\/em><\/p>\n

Downton Abbey<\/em><\/p>\n

Game of Thrones<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Homeland<\/em><\/p>\n

House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

Mr. Robot<\/em><\/p>\n

As much as I would like to see The Americans<\/em> take home the trophy, I’m assuming that the love affair with\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em> will continue.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Actress In A Drama<\/h3>\n

Claire Danes,\u00a0Homeland<\/em><\/p>\n

Viola Davis,\u00a0How To Get Away With Murder<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Taraji P. Henson,\u00a0Empire<\/i><\/p>\n

Tatiana Maslany,\u00a0Orphan Black<\/em><\/p>\n

Keri Russell,\u00a0The Americans<\/em><\/p>\n

Robin Wright, House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

If it were up to me, I’d give the award to either Keri Russell or Tatiana Maslany, but I assume that Viola Davis\u00a0will take home the prize.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Actor In A Drama<\/h3>\n

Kyle Chandler, Bloodline<\/em><\/p>\n

Rami Malek,\u00a0Mr. Robot<\/em><\/p>\n

Bob Odenkirk,\u00a0Better Call Saul<\/em><\/p>\n

Matthew Rhys,\u00a0The Americans<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Liev Schreiber,\u00a0Ray Donovan<\/em><\/p>\n

Kevin Spacey, House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

Some new blood in this category. \u00a0I’m going with the long shot and picking Matthew Rhys.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama<\/h3>\n

Emilia Clarke,\u00a0Game Of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n

Lena Headey,\u00a0Game Of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n

Dame Maggie Smith, Downton Abbey<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maura Tierney, The\u00a0Affair<\/em><\/p>\n

Maisie Williams, Games of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n

Constance Zimmer,\u00a0UnREAL<\/em><\/p>\n

My guess is that the GoT crew will end up stealing votes from one another, leaving Maggie Smith to swoop in a steal the award for the last season of Downton Abbey<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama<\/h3>\n

Jonathan Banks , Better Call Saul<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n

Kit Harrington,\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n

Michael Kelly,\u00a0House Of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

Ben Mendelsohn,\u00a0Bloodline<\/em><\/p>\n

Jon Voight,\u00a0Ray Donovan<\/em><\/p>\n

Not really sure about this one, but I’ll go with Jonathan Banks for his run on Better Call Saul<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Outstanding\u00a0Guest Actress In A Drama<\/h3>\n

Ellen Burstyn,\u00a0House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

Allison Janney, Masters of Sex<\/em><\/p>\n

Margo Martindale, The Americans<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Laurie Metcalf,\u00a0Horace and Pete<\/em><\/p>\n

Molly Parker,\u00a0House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

Carrie Preston,\u00a0The Good Wife<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, this award has already been given out, so I’m going to go along with the previously announced winner.<\/p>\n

Outstanding\u00a0Guest Actor In A Drama<\/h3>\n

Mahershala Ali,\u00a0House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

Hank Azaria,\u00a0Ray Donovan<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reg E. Cathey,\u00a0House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

Michael J. Fox,\u00a0The\u00a0Good Wife<\/em><\/p>\n

Paul Sparks,\u00a0House of Cards<\/em><\/p>\n

Max von Sydow,\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em><\/p>\n

This award has also been given out already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
