The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, July 10th. 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: The Big Bang Theory ,Girls, Louie, Modern Family, 30 Rock, Veep
The competition: So only one contender – “30 Rock” – is out of the running, and it does have one likely successor to take its place, Orange is the New Black. I’m nervous about predicting it because I remember when sure thing “Pushing Daisies” didn’t even get nominated, and I remember that this category is often very surprising. The other possibilities are Silicon Valley and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and I think the former may be able to edge out the divisive Girls. Look for regulars The Big Bang Theory, Louie, Modern Family, and Veep among the nominees, and, if all was right with the world, Parks and Recreation. I’d love to see Shameless make the cut, but I’m about as optimistic about its chances in this race as I was the last two years when it was a drama.
The predicted nominees: The Big Bang Theory, Louie, Modern Family, Orange is the New Black, Silicon Valley, Veep
