Emmy Predictions: Best Directing for a Comedy Series

Contenders are listed in the order I think they’re likely to get nominated. I don’t have much to say here and I find the directing and writing categories especially difficult to predict, so I’ll save my commentary for the nominees. Note: this category has had six nominees for the past two years, which makes it likely they’ll be another tie this year, resulting in additional nominees.

Current predictions:
PUSHING DAISIES, “Pie-lette”
30 ROCK, “Rosemary’s Baby”
THE OFFICE, “Goodbye Toby”
THE OFFICE, “Fun Run”
CALIFORNICATION, “Pilot”

Alternates:
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, “The Rat Dog”
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, “The N Word”
30 ROCK, “Cooter”
THE OFFICE, “Branch Wars”
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, “Sally”
