mamamedia predicts :: The 2015 Emmy Awards

EXPERT PREDICTIONS.


OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES

Better Call Saul
Downton Abbey
Game of Thrones
Homeland
House of Cards
Mad Men
Orange Is The New Black

mama's pick :: Hmm. I have no idea how this will turn out. Will BCS continue Breaking Bad's streak? Will the voters be able to ignore the juggernaut that is GOT? Will Mad Men return to the award glory days of 2009-2011? I JUST DON'T KNOW.

OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES

Louie
Modern Family
Parks and Recreation
Silicon Valley
Transparent
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Veep

mama's pick :: I would put money on Transparent taking this category, as they did at the Golden Globes earlier this year.

LEAD ACTOR - DRAMA

Bob Odenkirk - Better Call Saul
Kyle Chandler - Bloodline
Kevin Spacey - House of Cards
Jon Hamm - Mad Men
Jeff Daniels - The Newsroom
Liev Schreiber - Ray Donovan

mama's pick :: #TEAMHAMM ALL THE WAY. Come on guys, this is getting into Lucci territory. Jon has been nominated for Best Lead every year since 2008, throw the Hamm a bone already.

LEAD ACTRESS - DRAMA

Taraji P. Henson - Empire
Claire Danes - Homeland
Viola Davis - How to Get Away with Murder
Tatiana Maslany - Orphan Black
Elisabeth Moss - Mad Men
Robin Wright - House of Cards

mama's pick :: Taraji is majestic in Empire, in my opinion, she is the only enjoyable part of the show. Viola is great as well; HTGAWM is not always the strongest material, but Davis always sells it. That woman has some serious chops.

LEAD ACTOR - COMEDY

Anthony Anderson - black-ish
Matt LeBlanc - Episodes
Don Cheadle - House of Lies
Will Forte - The Last Man On Earth
Louis C.K - Louie
William H. Macy - Shameless
Jeffrey Tambor - Transparent

mama's pick :: I do have a lot of residual Tribbiani love left for Matt LeBlanc, but I think Tambor will take this one out.

LEAD ACTRESS - COMEDY

Lisa Kudrow - The Comeback
Lily Tomlin - Grace and Frankie
Amy Schumer - Inside Amy Schumer
Edie Falco - Nurse Jackie
Amy Poehler - Parks and Recreation
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - Veep

mama's pick :: #TEAMAMY. Either one, really.

SUPPORTING ACTOR - DRAMA

Jonathan Banks - Better Call Saul
Ben Mendelsohn - Bloodline
Jim Carter - Downton Abbey
Peter Dinklage - Game of Thrones
Alan Cumming - The Good Wife
Michael Kelly - House of Cards

mama's pick :: How could you go past Tyrion??

SUPPORTING ACTRESS - DRAMA

Joanne Froggatt - Downton Abbey
Lena Headey - Game of Thrones
Emilia Clarke - Game of Thrones
Christine Baranski - The Good Wife
Christina Hendricks - Mad Men
Uzo Aduba - Orange Is The New Black

mama's pick :: Damnit, now I've got that damn Regina Spektor song stuck in my head..."Youuu'vvvvve...gooootttt....tiiiiiii-iiiiiiii-IIIIIIMEEEEE...." So, yes, I like Uzo.

SUPPORTING ACTOR - COMEDY

Andre Braugher - Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Adam Driver - Girls
Keegan-Michael Key - Key & Peele
Ty Burrell - Modern Family
Tituss Burgess - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

mama's pick :: #TEAMANDRE ALL THE WAY THAT'S HOW WE ROLL IN THE NINE-NINE. Ahem. Yes.

SUPPORTING ACTRESS - COMEDY

Mayim Bialik - The Big Bang Theory
Niecy Nash - Getting On
Julie Bowen - Modern Family
Allison Janney - Mom
Kate McKinnon - Saturday Night Live
Gaby Hoffmann - Transparent
Jane Krakowski - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Anna Chlumsky - Veep

mama's pick :: "Listen up fives, a ten is talking!" I miss 30 Rock. Much like LeBlanc, I've got a lot of residual love for Jane/Jenna Maroney.

So, who's your pick? What have you loved/hated this year? Are you as excited as I am to see Andy Samberg host? Did I tell you Stephanie Beatriz retweeted me once & I almost died from excitement? HANDS UP, FELLOW NINE-NINE FANS!
