My predictions: 4/5, picking “Boardwalk Empire” over “House of Cards”
Precursors are a tricky thing. Game of Thrones got snubbed by both Golden Globe and SAG voters this year, while “Boardwalk Empire” made the cut. Since I thought that this most recent season of “Boardwalk Empire” was the best yet, it’s disappointing to see it dropped from almost all categories this year. Fortunately, the rest of the shows are still quite great, even if there’s no room for “The Newsroom.” “Game of Thrones” also managed a series best, earning sixteen nominations this year. I’ve only seen the first two episodes of House of Cards, which did quite well and blew the other buzzworthy Netflix show out of the water with its nomination total (nine versus three). Breaking Bad matched its series high count from last year with thirteen, and Homeland got up to eleven nominations, from nine last year. Mad Men netted its lowest-ever tally of twelve, which still isn’t bad. And, rounding out the list, we have Downton Abbey, which managed to get twelve nominations, down from sixteen last year, and still pop up in every major race except the guest categories.
Who should win? “Homeland,” but they’re all great
Who will win? Either “Homeland” again, “Breaking Bad,” or “House of Cards”
