As many of you probably know, the Emmy Award nominations were announced yesterday, and there has been a lot of buzz going around Hollywood- Who was snubbed? What surprises were there?
For the next month and a half leading up to the show, More Than Musiq will offer some predictions in the major categories this year.
If you haven't seen the nominees yet, check it out at EW.com. If you have seen them, check out my predictions for some of the big categories (please note: I'm a HUGE Glee fan...but I try to be unbiased.)
Here we go:
Outstanding Comedy Series
-Glee
-Modern Family
-Curb Your Enthusiasm
-Nurse Jackie
-30 Rock
-The Office
Winner - 30 Rock. The Tina Fey comedy has been consistent for years, and is always an Emmy favorite. Fey has cemented herself as a comedy icon, so it will be hard to topple this critical giant.
Who Could Upset- Modern Family was one of the breakout comedies of the year, and earned multiple nominations for the actors in the show. If I were to base my predictions on the first half of the first season, I would totally go for Glee, but the second half of the season fell short of expectations (although I still loved it)
Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series
-Lea Michelle (Glee)
-Tina Fey (30 Rock)
-Toni Collette (The United States of Tara)
-Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine)
-Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie)
-Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation)
Winner - Toni Collette. She took home the same prize last year, although most people hadn't even heard of her show. Tina Fey has won so many Emmys now no one can keep track, and Edie Falco's fantastic role in Nurse Jackie runs the drama line a little too closely for voters to actually consider her a comedy contender.
Who Could Upset - The fabulous Amy Poehler found her footing after a shaky season 1, but Parks has really upped its game, and so has the lead actress. Poehler's character is funny, but sincere, dim-witted, but kind hearted, and could be the black sheep to win this year.
