Emmy Podcast #26: The Drama Categories with guest Amanda Spears
Is Game of Thrones running away with the Drama Series Emmy win? All signs point to yes but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a conversation to be had about this year’s drama races.
I am joined once again by Amanda Spears to break down Drama Series, Lead Actor and Actress and Supporting Actor and Actress (guest, writing and directing categories will be tackled later).
In this podcast we tackle if GOT can break NYPD Blue‘s all-time record for most nominations by a show in a single season, how the acting races could play out for Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer, Pose‘s Billy Porter and the Emmy fate of This is Us and House of Cards and much more.
This podcast runs 56m 30s with music.
Opening: The theme from Game of Thrones by Ramin Djawadi
Closing: “New York City By Day,’ by Thomas Newman from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan
