Major Emmy buzz?

I don't know much about the TV world, or the world of Emmy politics. It's a much bigger group of voters, so it's a lot more populist-based. But I just love any sort of awards shows, and with the Emmys coming at the end of next month, this is the next major one to await.

Since I don't really know what I'm talking about, I'll just post the predictions without much explanation. Kay? Okay.

Outstanding Comedy Series: Modern Family will be enough of the voting branch's cup of tea to upset Glee.



Outstanding Drama Series: Mad Men, though Dexter has gotten more popular this year.



Outstanding Made for Television Movie: Temple Grandin benefits from a safer and more PC subject than its closest lead performance-anchored competitor, You Don't Know Jack.

Outstanding Miniseries: The Pacific



Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: Larry David benefits from veteran status and this being his last chance to win for this show, although it will be an upset over perpetual (deserved) favorite Alec Baldwin.



Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series: Michael C. Hall benefits from an increase in exposure to his show and a sentimental sweep of precursors (which just means the Golden Globes and SAG during Oscar season) prior to Cancer treatment.



Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie: Pacino



Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series: Edie Falco is the (relative) newbie, has leftover love from her multiple-Emmy winning performance on The Sopranos and a surprise nomination for her show in Comedy Series. She's good.



Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series: Margulies is also in the newer show and hasn't won in a good 15 years. Should continue her winning streak from the Golden Globes and SAG.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie: Danes is as locked as Pacino.



Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series: NPH benefits from being hella overdue, nominated twice this year, former host, beloved in the TV community and really the rest of aware America. Jon Cryer benefited from a really competitive and split category last year, Chris Colfer is too young and the Modern Family trio of guys are cursed to split votes.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series: One of the Lost guys. Probably the one that hasn't won yet. Terry O'Quinn or something?

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie: I wouldn't know.



Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series: Jane Lynch, though a Krakowski upset would be delicious.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series: Hendricks, because her boobs are way bigger than Moss's.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie: Kathy Bates, since she's the only one in her category not facing competition from inside her own movie.



Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series: The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brian has too good of a story to pass up for the usual winner The Daily Show.

Outstanding Reality Competition Program: The Amazing Race always wins.

Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality - Competition Program: Ryan Seacrest. This category is so dumb.



Outstanding Reality Program: They love them some Kathy Griffin.
