2020 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Final Predictions - Best Limited Series and TV Movie

Best Limited Series
Little Fires Everywhere
Mrs. America
Unbelievable
Unorthodox
Watchmen

Other Contenders - Normal People, Hollywood, The Plot Against America, I Know This Much is True, Defending Jacob, Self Made, Belgravia, Years and Years

Commentary - I think Watchmen and Mrs. America are safe, and are the two battling it out for the win. I also feel pretty comfortable predicting Unbelievable. But beyond that, I am lost. I am predicting Little Fires Everywhere, which could get in due to decent reviews and star power. I am also predicting that Unorthodox, which is gaining buzz, and seems to have risen a lot lately. But there is Normal People, which should get in, Hollywood, which should not get in, but once again has star power. There are great HBO productions like I Know This Much is True, The Plot Against America, and Years and Years. You have Julian Fellowes return to television with Belgravia, Neflix's Self Made, and Apple TV's Defending Jacob. 

Best Television Movie
American Son
Bad Education
The Clark Sisters
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. The Reverend

Other Contenders - Patsy and Loretta, Togo, Dolly Parton's Heartstrings, Troop Zero, Transparent Musical Finale, Lady and the Tramp

Commentary - I feel like the win is between Bad Education and El Camino. These are probably the only two that will get nominations beyond this category. American Son, despite atrocious reviews, seems to be doing well with pundits, due to its timely subject matter. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, at one point was nominated for Comedy Series. Its finale movie did well with critics, so I expect it to do well.The last two slots seem to be between the musical biopics. I am picking The Clark Sisters over Patsy and Loretta because it has premiered more recently and might be more on voters minds. Also look out for Togo, Dolly Parton's Heartstrings, Troop Zero, and the Transparent Series Finale.
