In a lot of ways, the Emmys are harder to predict than the Oscars. The Oscars have smaller timeline between when things get serious (usually mid-September) and the nominations announcement and the actual show itself. But in between that are dozens of precursors in the form of critics awards and industry awards that help us shape the race, give us …

  Game of Thrones and Veep repeated their series wins from last year and The People v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, coming in with 22 nominations, won the Limited Series Emmy.

The 68th Primetime Emmy Awards are this weekend and AwardsWatch’s Emmy Experts have their FINAL predictions for this year’s winners.

Mad Max: Fury Road came in behind it with four wins – Editing, Production Design, Makeup & Hair and Costume Design. The two films went head to head in just four categories and they …

With the film side there are months of critics awards, build up and momentum leading to the Emerald City of awards, The Oscars. That’s less so for the TV awards, which vary from being based …

The votes for the September Forum Oscar Polls are in and with it some dramatic results. August’s #1 film in Best Picture, The Danish Girl (which was tied with The Revenant) is not only not #1 anymore, it’s out of the top 10 entirely. We have not seen such a precipitous drop since the Oscar polls started last Spring. The …

The nominees for the 21st Screen Actors Guild for television were announced this morning, along with their motion picture counterparts, with Modern Family still a major player, Orange is the New Black scoring and Boardwalk Empire ending its final season with a bang.
