Emmy Nominees: Best Directing/Writing for a Miniseries or Made-for-TV Movie


My predictions: 3/5 for directing, 5/5 for writing

Imagine my surprise when I realize I had correctly predicted all the nominees for Best Writing for a Miniseries or Made-for-TV Movie. Rather exciting, I must say. Anyway, four presentations got nominated for both directing and writing: Bernard and Doris, Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale, John Adams, and Recount. The Company rounded out directing, while Cranford picked up a mention for writing. Out of all those, I’ve seen the first episodes of “John Adams” and “Cranford” as well as the TV movie “Recount”. I’ll have to do some catching up. “Five Days” was completely shut out with a grand total of zero nominations. No “High School Musical 2” in directing as I had predicted, but it did get a mention for Best Children’s Program.

Who should win? No comment
Who will win? I think “John Adams” wins directing while “Bernard and Doris” wins writing
