Emmy Podcast #12: Drama and Comedy Category Predictions
In our last Emmy Podcast, Vox.com’s Todd VanDerWerff and I broke down the TV Movie and Limited Series predictions and got a little bit into the Drama and Comedy categories but here, on this 12th Emmy Podcast, I am joined by fellow Emmy Expert Federico Artico for a deeper dive.
We discuss how open the Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category is with three of last year’s nominees out of the running, the rise of black-ish and possibly Mom in Comedy Series and if Silicon Valley can break through in the acting categories. Plus, can anyone possibly beat Veep‘s Julia Louis-Dreyfus?
In drama we talk about if Mr. Robot can really get nominated or if it will end up like Orphan Black and we discuss who we think is winning Drama Series this year. Will Game of Thrones continue to reign or will this election year see one (or possibly two) White House-based shows win the top prize.
Plus, The Americans. Always, The Americans.
