The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, July 18th. Please refer to my Emmy musings for this category for a detailed analysis of the contenders, and, as always, chime in below in the comments with any thoughts of your own.
Last year’s nominees: Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Homeland, Mad Men
The competition: I think it’s very likely that the five shows nominated last year in this race might again have exactly one installment recognized in this race. Bone For Tuna or Margate Sands are the obvious choices for “Boardwalk Empire,” Gliding Over All probably overshadows all other submitted installments of “Breaking Bad,” and New Car Smell or Q and A is on tap for “Homeland.” Picking an episode of “Mad Men” is trickier, and I think The Collaborators will probably edge out The Doorway and The Flood. “Downton Abbey” won’t make voters choose since only Episode 4 is submitted, which is easy. Vying for a slot in this race are the pilot episodes of “The Americans,” “House of Cards,” and “The Newsroom.” I would say that The Rains of Castamere (Game of Thrones) is a lock, but given the fact that “Blackwater” was snubbed last year, I’m not so sure.
The predicted nominees: Margate Sands (Boardwalk Empire), Gliding Over All (Breaking Bad), Episode 4 (Downton Abbey), New Car Smell (Homeland), The Collaborators (Mad Men)
The predicted winner: Margate Sands
