Emmy Nominees: Best Directing for a Drama Series


My predictions: 3/5, picking the wrong “Homeland” episode and missing “House of Cards”

The nominees: Margate Sands (Boardwalk Empire), Gliding Over All (Breaking Bad), Episode 4 (Downton Abbey), Q and A (Homeland), Chapter 1 (House of Cards)

For the second year in a row, the season finales of Boardwalk Empire and Breaking Bad made the cut over a handful of other episodes from both shows. The lone submitted installment of Downton Abbey is here, and I picked the wrong episode of Homeland. I liked the pilot of House of Cards but don’t think it was better than, say, any given episode of “Mad Men” or “Game of Thrones” or the pilot of “The Newsroom.”

Who should win? Gliding Over All
Who will win? Last year, it was “Boardwalk Empire” that took it. I think “Gliding Over All” will win this year, but who knows?
