Emmy Predictions: Best Writing for a Drama Series

The Nominees:
1. Rolin Jones "Friday Night Lights - The Son"
2. Michelle King &Robert King "The Good Wife - Pilot"
3. Carlton Cuse & Damon Lindelof "Lost - The End"
4. Matthew Weiner & Robin Veith "Mad Men - Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency"
5. Matthew Weiner & Erin Levy "Mad Men - Shut the Door. Have a Seat"

Should Win: Rolin Jones "Friday Night Lights - The Son"

Will Win: Matthew Weiner & Erin Levy "Mad Men - Shut the Door. Have a Seat"

Commentary: I would love to see Friday Night Lights get some Emmy love in at least one top category, but I know that that is a dream which is probably never going to come true. Lost was never really a writer's show, so I predict it will not win this category, but maybe directing. The Good Wife is a brilliant new show, and may surprise some, but this category really belongs to Emmy powerhouse Mad Men. I went with the better of the two episodes, as I think Emmy voters will do so as well.
