Best Limited Series
Will Win - Big Little Lies
Could Win - Feud: Bette and Joan or The Night Of
Should Win - Feud: Bette and Joan
Commentary - This really is a tight race, and every year seems to get more competitive. The Night Of is a dark horse, and Feud will win over a lot of voters, and is the best of the bunch. But I think that with HBO behind it, the cast that is top to bottom fantastic, and the momentum, that Big Little Lies will win this tight race. Honestly though, this is one that will leave us all guessing until the envelope is opened.
Best TV Movie
Will Win - Sherlock: The Lying Detective
Could Win - Black Mirror: San Junipero or The Wizard of Lies
Should Win - Black Mirror: San Junipero
Commentary - While the Limited Series race gets more and more competitive, this race seems to become less so every year. That being said, this really is a three-way race, I just wish the competitive were more worthy. Black Mirror is the only one of the bunch that deserves this award, and Netflix is pushing it hard. But I don't know if they are going to go for such a unique genre piece. The Wizard of Lies was less than stellar, but it has a great cast and HBO behind it. All of that being said, I think that Sherlock, after beating out two HBO films last year, will once again surprise at the Emmys. I have always underestimated this series, and even though it has long since peaked, these voters clearly love it. I think that in a weak year, it once again wins the case.
