In this podcast, Erik, Jonathan and Nicol discuss their predictions in the Comedy categories as well as TV Movie, TV Movie/Mini Directing and Supporting categories. Any more and you’d be listening for three hours. We’ll be breaking the Emmy prediction podcasts into two parts, next week will be Drama categories, Miniseries, TV Movie/Miniseries Writing and Lead categories.
Today we discuss whether Modern Family can be toppled and kept from a record-tying five wins in Comedy Series and by whom? Orange is the New Black? Veep? Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Does Showtime’s move of Shameless from Drama to Comedy help or hurt it and can the network get THREE Lead actors in Comedy?
