Emmy Nominees: Best Directing for a Comedy Series


My predictions: 2/5, picking only “Girls” and “Louie” correctly

The nominees: On All Fours (Girls), Diva (Glee), New Year’s Eve (Louie), Arrested (Modern Family), Hogcock/Last Lunch (30 Rock)

I correctly guessed that the lone submitted episode from Louie and the most memorable installment of the year from Girls would be recognized. I figured the more dramatic season finale of Modern Family would be honored, but this comedic half-hour was great too. I’m surprised that “Arrested Development” didn’t make the cut, while the series finale of “The Office” was recognized for writing and not for directing. I thought that the school shooting episode of Glee might make the cut, but another installment which I haven’t seen did instead (more on that closer to the big night). And, it’s no surprise that, after a year off, 30 Rock earned its final nomination in this category for its hour-long finale, which puzzlingly netted two separate nominations for writing.

Who should win? “On All Fours”
Who will win? “Arrested” or “Hogcock/Last Lunch”
