Emmy Nominees: Best Directing for a Drama Series




My predictions: 4/5 on the shows, but only 1 of the episodes correct

The nominees: To The Lost (Boardwalk Empire), Face Off (Breaking Bad), Episode 7 (Downton Abbey), Pilot (Homeland), The Other Woman (Mad Men)

Perhaps it wasn’t wise to bet against season finales, since those installments of Boardwalk Empire and Breaking Bad made it in over the ones I had predicted. Downton Abbey was clearly very popular as well, and its lone submitted episode got recognized. A different episode of Mad Men made it in than I had predicted, but “Commissions and Fees” still got a writing nod. The pilot of Homeland was a sure thing, and the real snub here is “Blackwater,” the best episode of the season of “Game of Thrones.” Otherwise, this is a great list!

Who should win? “Homeland”
Who will win? “Homeland”
