Emmy Nominees: Best Writing in a Drama Series


My predictions: 2/5, citing two nominated “Mad Men” episodes

The nominees:
LOST, "The Incident"
MAD MEN, "The Jet Set"
MAD MEN, “Meditations in an Emergency”
MAD MEN, "A Night to Remember"
MAD MEN, “Six Month Leave”

Well, Mad Men is like “The Sopranos.” It’s dominating this category with four nominations, contending only with the Lost season finale. All I can say is that this is a terrific list, and while I would have loved to see both “Battlestar Galactica” and “The Shield” here, these are all excellent episodes of television that are incredibly well-written.

Who should win? Any of them
Who will win? “Mad Men” – “Six Month Leave”
