Emmy Predictions: Best Directing for a Comedy Series


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: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Girls, Louie, Modern Family, Modern Family, New Girl

The competition: Smart money suggests that New Year’s Eve (Louie) and Off the Hook (Arrested Development) will be nominated given that they’re the only submitted episodes from their respective shows. Any of the “Modern Family” episodes, like Arrested, Schooled, Party Crasher, or especially Goodnight, Gracie could be nominated. The series finales of both “The Office” and “30 Rock” have a good shot, but they’ll have to contend with On All Fours and One Man’s Trash, two appealing installments of “Girls.” Also in the running are Episode 209 of “Episodes” and Shooting Star (Glee), as well as a number of other possibilities.

The predicted nominees: Off the Hook (Arrested Development), One Man’s Trash (Girls), New Year’s Eve (Louie), Goodnight, Gracie (Modern Family), Finale (The Office)

The predicted winner: Goodnight, Gracie
