The roundup: Since the show’s start, this category has nominated 30 Rock at least once each year, going as high as four for five back in 2009. Therefore, I’d count on an episode popping up, and the same goes for Modern Family, which has been nominated once each of the past two years and won both times. The question for both is which episode to choose since there are oh so many. Louie smartly submitted just one episode, so I think that will be in. The pilot of Girls is a safe bet, and the debut installments of House of Lies, New Girl, and Wilfred are also in the mix. I can’t imagine that the brilliant writing of Veep will go ignored, but since the pilot isn’t in the running, I’m not entirely sure if another episode will be able to pull it off. Maybe the wonderful Parks and Recreation could finally be honored too?
The predicted nominees: Pilot (Girls), Pregnant (Louie), Aunt Mommy (Modern Family), Kidnapped by Danger (30 Rock), Tears (Veep)
The predicted winner: Girls
