2014-2015 Emmys

[seinfeld13]

With the Oscars over, I thought it was time to start a thread devoted to the Emmys, especially with the rule changes that came out last week. I am going to work on my first set of predictions soon. Should be an interesting year with Breaking Bad gone and, perhaps, some Modern Family fatigue.

I think Better Call Saul will be occupying the vacated Breaking Bad spots. Odenkirk, McKean and Banks could probably get nominations.

How have ratings for Better Call Saul been?

I think the premiere set some sort of record, but I can't recall which. It didn't hurt that it aired after The Walking Dead, either, which has a massive audience.

Also, I wonder if we have heard the last of the Academy's new rules on comedy/drama. Will Netflix just let them ship Orange Is the New Black to Drama without protest? As others have mentioned, it sounds like shows can still petition to be in another genre category - so I wonder if it'll end up staying where it's at.

And the series categories will have seven nominees, right? But not the acting ones?

This makes no sense to me because there are more eligible actors in each category than shows, so if anything it should be 7 actors per category no?

What are Empire's chances? I think Taraji should win. Not sure the show deserves anything else though.

I would love a win for her! I don't think the show deserves anything else either, though I wouldn't mind a Supporting Actor nod for Jussie Smollett. And the music could win something.

She's already a nominee so she has a good shot to get back in. Given that Kerry Washington has also picked up new steam this past season for her work on Scandal it would be lovely to see them both get in.

Drama Actress is truly loaded for this year:
Viola Davis
Julianna Margulies
Robin Wright
Taraji Henson
Ruth Wilson
Kerry Washington
Claire Danes
Tatiana Maslaney
Lizzy Caplan
Michelle Dockery
presumably Elisabeth Moss
