Emmy Winner Predictions: Best Directing for a Drama Series
Nominees are pictured and listed in alphabetical order by show. Beware of minor spoilers for listed episodes.
Timothy Van Patten, Boardwalk Empire (Farewell Daddy Blues)
Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad (Felina)
David Evans, Downton Abbey (Episode 1)
Neil Marshall, Game of Thrones (The Watchers on the Wall)
Carl Franklin, House of Cards (Chapter 14)
Cary Fukunaga, True Detective (Who Goes There)
For the third year in a row, we have the season finales of both “Boardwalk Empire” and “Breaking Bad.” The latter is also the series finale of that show. The eventful season premieres of both “Downton Abbey” and “House of Cards” are also here. The penultimate installment of “Game of Thrones,” which follows just one plotline, is recognized, as is the fourth episode of “True Detective,” which sees Rust going undercover for the duration of the hour. This is Van Patten’s eight nomination, and he won two years ago for “Boardwalk Empire.” This is Gilligan’s third nomination. The rest are all first-timers. All of these shows are nominated for Best Drama Series. The pilot of “House of Cards” won last year.
What should win: “Felina” or “Chapter 14”
What will win: It seems to me like “Felina” is a lock to win this.
