The Emmy Awards air tonight, and I’m hoping to tune in from my hotel room in Vancouver. So far, I’ve predicted 1/4 correctly, guessing only Joan Cusack to finally win on her fifth nomination for portraying Sheila on “Shameless.” Other winners were Reg E. Cathey for “House of Cards,” Margo Martindale for a two-minute performance on “The Americans,” and Bradley Whitford for “Transparent.” The big question this year with the drama races is who will prevail now that “Breaking Bad” is off the air. “Mad Men” and “Homeland” have both won before but are not in high regard anymore, and this is the last shot that “Mad Men” has to win any acting award despite its many nominations over the past eight years. I’m going with “Game of Thrones” to win the top prize, but it could be any of them. As far as the comedy races are concerned, “Modern Family” could still win, “Veep” might upset, and I’d be ecstatic if “Parks and Recreation” got a consolation prize for never winning before in the form of a deserved trophy for Best Comedy Series for its superb final season. And if there’s any way that Tatiana Maslany could win, I’ll be thrilled. As always, I’m excited for the show, and will post some brief reactions either immediately afterwards or the next morning. Enjoy the show, and leave your thoughts in the comments! For detailed predictions in all applicable categories, click on the hyperlinked category name.
