Emmy Nominees: Best Directing in a Drama Series


My predictions: 2/5, BSG and the wrong “Mad Men” episode

The nominees:
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, “Daybreak, Part 2”
BOSTON LEGAL, "Mad in China/Last Call"
DAMAGES, "Trust Me"
ER, "And In The End"
MAD MEN, “The Jet Set”

Woohoo for Battlestar Galactica. Though this is its only recognition, at least it’s something. Emmy voters also said goodbye to Boston Legal and ER by recognizing their series finales, neglecting the pilots of shows like “The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency” and “True Blood,” which should instead be here. I’m actually really happy that “The Jet Set” is the episode that Mad Men ended up with here, since that’s my favorite episode of the season! I don’t know what about the Damages season finale makes it Emmy-worthy, but hopefully BSG or “Mad Men” can win here.

Who should win? BSG or “Mad Men”
Who will win? “Mad Men”
