I cant see evan rachel wood missing at all, shes heavily loved basically.

I think Wright, Russell and Foy are pretty safe. That leaves Moss, Danes and Davis. I think Davis will get in again because she's beloved in the industry and has some leftover good will following her Oscar win. Danes hasn't missed a nomination yet and that show had a mini resurgance last year with its Best Drama Series nomination, so I think she makes sense as well. Moss has the material, the buzz and Top of the Lake returning soon. I think she makes more sense than Wood, who I don't think is as loved as you claim.

Also is sterling k brown leading? I am suprised i assumed everyone would be submitted as supporting, no one on the show feels like a lead at all.

Yeah, he's being pushed in lead with Milo Ventimiglia. That category is pretty weak so it doesn't surprise me.

Do you consider anyone leading on This Is Us? I suppose a case could be made for Ventimiglia and Moore but even they don't feel like they get enough screen time to be considered as.

I haven't seen the show, so I can't say. It does seem like an ensemble type show, and usually that means I'd consider everyone supporting like Modern Family.

I'm really hoping McKean finally makes it in for his work in Better Call Saul. His monologue in Chicanery is some of the best acting I've seen all year.

Also rooting for Sissy Spacek to sneak in for Supporting Actress for Bloodline. The new season was pretty disappointing, but she was brilliant. Again, some of the best acting of the year.

This is my hat now. This is totally my hat.

All of these look crazy good. I do think Carrie Coon will sneak in for The Leftovers (it's her last shot and she's got momentum) and not predicting Thewlis seems rather ballsy. He gives arguably the best performance in the entire season.

These are interesting predictions but I'm really hoping The Leftovers can be like The Americans last year and suddenly pull off a lot of nominations.

Also, Timothy Simons killed it on this season of Veep. I'd actually rather see him nominated than Tony Hale (but I'd be thrilled if both got in). Same with Michael McKean on Better Call Saul.

I hope the Emmys aren't done with OITNB after last year's snub. Season 4 is eligible this year which I thought was a huge step up over season 3.

And David Thewlis seriously deserves a nomination for Fargo.

It's never gonna happen but If Aden Young got nominated for the final season of Rectify, that'd probably be one of the most pleasant surprises in Emmy history.

Lastly, while I do enjoy This is Us and do predict it to get a lot of nominations, I kinda hope it doesn't get too much. There are just better shows that could get those slots.

He has been from the beginning. Jared is one of the best characters on TV right now, and it's mostly due to how incredible Woods is. He reached new levels this year. A couple of his best scenes this season were easily among the funniest the series has ever had. I'd love for him to get in.

At a minimum, I want The Leftovers to be nominated for Drama Series and for Coon. However, I reckon HBO will push Westworld harder since it's there big new show, and while I like it quite a bit, it's just not on the same level (Wood and Newton need to get in, though).

I'd also love OITNB to get back in, since S4 was absolutely fantastic and my favourite show of last year, but I reckon the mixed reaction to S5 will prevent that from happening.

As far as actual predictions go, I think The Crown is a lock for noms across the board, and probably the strongest contender for the win in multiple categories. It'll be interesting to see the Foy vs Moss (vs Coon?!) showdown.

I think Tucci in Feud is more likely than Saarsgard. Also i'm wary of Jessica Lange's SUPER bait last episode.

Peter MacNichol is an interesting choice, you don't think they'd go with Jean Smart in Guest Actress for Veep? I mean I'd much rather see Sally Phillips get that spot (i've been praying for her every season, she basically should have won 3 by now - so incredibly funny and clever), but they do like them some Jean. I wish Portia Doubleday had a shot for Mr. Robot but I don't see it either and she has internal competition too.

You think they wouldn't push TJ Miller harder though, considering its his presumably last season. I just started the show yesterday and I'm already at the third episode of Season Two. Woods has been great so far, but they give most of the comedic meat to Miller, who's also terrific.

Yeah, I just went with Skarsgard since I couldn't choose. They all make sense as winners.

I think they'll maybe give it to McNicol as an apology for last year's embarrassment. Weirdly enough Smart hasn't been submitted for consideration. They showed last year with the onslaught of House of Cards / Veep people in the categories that they mostly vote for people from big shows, so with Phillips being only the Veep gal on the ballot, I could see it working out well for her.

It's also major wishful thinking on my part hahaha.

4. Rhea Seehorn ~ Supporting Actress, Better Call Saul
5. "Shut Up and Dance" for Best Writing

I'm stealing Stephen's idea. Top five nominations that I'd make happen:

1. Carrie Coon, Lead Actress for The Leftovers
2. Zach Woods, Supporting Actor for Silicon Valley
3. Allison Wright, Guest Actress for The Americans
4. Rhea Seehorn, Supporting Actress for Better Call Saul (and McKean!)
5. Timothy Simmons, Supporting Actor for Veep

01. Wagner Moura has to win the whole damn thing but I'd be happy if he gets nominated at least, since he was snubbed the last time I guess.

02. Claire Foy is a done deal right? She better be.

03. Carrie Coon!!! But I'd also love to see Amy Brenneman get a supporting nod.

04. Matt Smith for supporting.

05. Shailene Woodley keeps getting sidetracked due to the other two lead performance but I'd love to see her get nominated.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Evan Rachel Wood, Westworld, Showtime
Viola Davis as Annalise Keating in How to Get Away with Murder, ABC
Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, Netflix*
Elisabeth Moss as June / Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale, Hulu
Keri Russell as Elizabeth Jennings in The Americans, FX
Robin Wright as Claire Underwood in House of Cards, Netflix

I'd switch out Danes for one of the Westworld women just because Homeland's nods seem more and more perfunctory. Foy is a worthy winner, but I've had a feeling about a Moss upset for a while. May be derailed by the Scientology controversy though.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut in Better Call Saul, AMC
Michael Kelly as Doug Stamper in House of Cards, Netflix
Ron Cephas Jones as William H. Hill in This is Us, NBC
John Lithgow as Winston Churchill in The Crown, Netflix
Jeffrey Wright as Bernard Lowe in Westworld, HBO
Jon Voight as Mickey Donovan in Ray Donovan, Showtime

Uuuuugh. I suspect you are right, but I'd much prefer to see this noms:
John Lithgow, The Crown*
Matt Smith, The Crown
Michael McKean, Better Call Saul
Christopher Eccleston, The Leftovers
Jeffrey Wright, Westworld

Quite how they can always nom Banks, who is good in BCS but not great, and have never nommed Michael McKean is beyond me.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven / Jane Ives in Stranger Things | Netflix
Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret in The Crown | Netflix
Margo Martindale as Claudia in The Americans | FX
Chrissy Metz as Kate Pearson in This Is Us | NBC
Thandie Newton as Maeve Millay in Westworld | HBO
Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers in Stranger Things | Netflix

Again, this is probably the most likely line up, but I'd love to see:
Carrie Coon, The Leftovers*
Vanessa Kirby, The Crown
Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things
Amy Brenneman, The Leftovers
Samira Wiley, The Handmaid's Tale

ugh @ the constant nomming of Winona Ryder. She did nothing of consequence! And was downright bad at points! /personalopinion

---

I would love to see Carrie Coon FINALLY get nominated for her best of all time performance in The Leftovers. It still staggers me that she missed for Guest, her showcase in S1. Seriously the best piece of acting I've seen on TV ever. While I haven't seen her Fargo performance yet, I'm sure she deserves it for that, but I honestly think it would be near-criminal not to give her a nom for The Leftovers now it's in its final season. Then again The Leftovers have been continuously snubbed: no Eccleston, no Brenneman, no Theroux. I like Ann Dowd but I think she was probably the weakest link among the main cast. She was great in Handmaid's Tale though.

My only "shocking" prediction is a Moss upset. I'm not convinced it'll happen (or should happen) either.

AKenjiB I'll be over the moon if you're right about those predictions for The Americans and Rhys. I agree with the rest of your predictions.

Also, you don't need a "seventh place" spot for the Drama Series line-ups, the category offers up seven in total.

So it goes.

Oh right, I forgot about the Drama series officially making it 7 slots rather than the 2% rule. In which case, hopefully that gives The Leftovers an even better chance of being recognized (even if I'm not predicting it)

And I do think Rhys could win because of how hyped up The Americans has gotten. But I'm definitely not positive with that prediction. I could see Odenkirk winning and Spacey could be viewed as being overdue.

Not a great set of nominations (House of Cards over Leftovers, really?).

At least they threw Coon a bone with that Fargo nod. She has no chance against Lange and Kidman (and the latter should absolutely win), but at least she's there.

Loved Westworld getting its big four actors in, as I think they were probably the best thing about S1, which I mostly liked but am a bit disappointed it was HBO's big push - though it's obvious why they went for it, since it's their big new hit after GoT.
