So I got 3/4 right on the Guest Acting, and too be honest, I'm glad I was wrong about the one I missed. I made a shot about the outside possibility of Loretta Devine winning, but I was really just posturing, and probably just wanted it to happen. Well, by God, it actually did. I am thrilled for her, as she is a fantastic actress, and a hard working one, and deserves this honor. I also was happy to get the Variety Special, Reality, Special Class, and Host right, although none of them were particularly difficult. Now I have to admit that while I did well in some of the major categories, I know absolutely nothing about the technical categories at the Emmys, and promise to do more research before next year, so that I do not embarrass myself as much as I did. Now here are a few tidbits that might be useful for predicting the big ceremony next weekend:
1) Boardwalk Empire won 7 awards, meaning that it has a lot of support from the technical branches, and Mad Men only won 1. I think I am still going to predict Mad Men, but it looks like there is a real race here.
2) Mildred Pierce could also not be as strong as once thought, as it lost many of its supposedly slam-dunk technical wins to programs such as The Kennedys and Downton Abbey, both of which could give it a run for its money.
3) Game of Thrones will NOT win Best Drama Series
4) Modern Family wins based on the Writing and the Acting, as it only one one (I think one, if not very few) of its technical nods.
