Contrary to popular belief, I don’t only watch movies… I watch TV too. Since the 75th Primetime Emmys are being held this upcoming Monday, I thought I would share my predictions. While I am not as knowledgeable about the Emmys as I am the Oscars, here are my predictions, backed with mostly guesswork, gut feeling, and a little viewership. Come Tuesday, feel free to check back and see how I did.
The bolded nominee is my prediction.
For the writing and directing categories, the name after the colon is the person nominated and the title in parentheses is the specific episode they are nominated for.
