Final Emmy Predictions

Tomorrow morning, the nominations for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards will be announced. I've made detailed predictions in the top eighteen categories, and offered my best blind guesses for the Miniseries/TV Movie categories below as well. I'm hopeful that "Parks and Recreation" makes it in as I've predicted in a few major categories, and I'm also pulling for a few exciting changes thanks to a bunch of contenders from last year no longer being eligible. I'm looking forward to the nominations, and you can expect analysis and reactions by category all day tomorrow starting in the late morning or early afternoon. I'm actually in Los Angeles at the moment, but won't be getting up anywhere near 5:30am to find out which shows and people are nominated. Please offer your own predictions and thoughts in the comments below.
