2024 Emmy Predictions: Best Directing and Writing in a Drama and Comedy Series

Best Directing in a Drama Series
Will Win - Shogun - Crimson Sky
Could Win - The Crown - Sleep, Dearie, Sleep
Should Win - Shogun - Crimson Sky
Commentary - Shogun is going to sweep. I like the show, but I'm getting tired of these lazy Emmy voters who pick one show and run with it. That being said, in terms of its direction, this is a worthy honor. Watch out for The Crown, which has often surprised at the Emmys. 

Best Directing in a Comedy Series
Will Win - The Bear - Fishes
Could Win - Hacks - Bulletproof
Should Win - Either episode. 
Commentary - I really wish Hacks would challenge here, but I think this is The Bear's to lose, and the Fishes episode really is a deserving winner.

Best Writing in a Drama Series
Will Win - Shogun - Crimson Sky
Could Win - Slow Horses - Negotiating with Tigers
Should Win - Mr. and Mrs. Smith - First Date
Commentary - I think the back of forth of First Date is great, and Slow Horses could win, if they are feeling like spreading the love. But if the Creative Arts are any indication, Shogun is in for a sweep.

Best Writing in a Comedy Series
Will Win - The Bear - The Fishes
Could Win - Hacks - Bulletproof
Should Win - Hacks - Bulletproof
Commentary - If I were a voter, I would split the difference, and give Hacks this well-deserved win in writing. But with the new sweep mentality of voters, it is safe to say The Bear wins here as well.
