2021 Emmy Predictions: Best Directing and Writing in a Variety Series and Variety Special

Best Directing in a Variety Series
Will Win - Don Roy King "Saturday Night Live: Dave Chappelle"
Could Win - Christopher Werner "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver"
Should Win - Don Roy King "Saturday Night Live: Dave Chappelle"
Commentary - Don Roy King is a legend, always does an excellent job with Saturday Night Live, which has the highest degree of difficulty, and has won this award several years in a row. I think he wins again. 

Best Writing in a Variety Series
Will Win - Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Could Win - The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Should Win - A Black Lady Sketch Show
Commentary - John Oliver continues to dominate this category, but Stephen Colbert had a great season, and if voters really want to shake things up, they would reward the excellent A Black Lady Sketch Show. 

Best Directing in a Variety Special
Will Win - Bo Burnham "Bo Burnham: Inside"
Could Win - Spike Lee "American Utopia"
Should Win - Spike Lee "American Utopia"
Commentary - I really think that Spike Lee could pull this off, and she should. But I would not bet against the juggernaut of Bo Burnham. 

Best Writing in a Variety Special
Will Win - Bo Burnham "Bo Burnham: Inside"
Could Win - Dave Chappelle "Dave Chappelle: 846"
Should Win - Bo Burnham "Bo Burnham: Inside"
Commentary - Again, Dave Chappelle has done really well in this category in the past, but can anyone really beat Bo Burnham? I am going with no.
