My predictions: 3/5, missing Buscemi and Dinklage
Who’s missing: Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad)
The inconsistencies among the various categories here don’t always make sense to me. That Anna Gunn would get in following her Emmy win but Aaron Paul wouldn’t doesn’t make much sense, as is the fact that “Game of Thrones” would reemerge victorious this year after being shut out last year. It turns out that voters welcomed back “Game of Thrones” but also kept “Boardwalk Empire,” honoring both Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), who has had better seasons on his show, and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), who is here for the first time. Emmy winner Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom) is back, as is last year’s victor in this category, Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad). Joining them is Kevin Spacey (House of Cards), the lone representative from his show. Most staggering, beyond the understandable omission of Damian Lewis, is Jon Hamm’s absence, especially because it signals a complete shut-out for “Mad Men.” Overall, this is actually a pretty solid list.
Who could win? My guess is Cranston unless Spacey takes it.
