I do legit feel bad for Hamm. He KILLS it in Mad Men year after year but one simply can't deny cranston so he keeps getting left out lol.

And the one year without Cranston eligible he gets knocked out by underdog Kyle Chandler in true Friday Night Lights fashion.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

Congrats to GoT's 6 wins at the creative arts Emmys. I'm not expecting that they'll get Best Drama but it'd be great if they did.

 

[Region-FreeWii]

Go Top Chef!

 

[Leona Lewis]

If there is any justice in the world, So You Think You Can Dance and especially Cat Deeley will clean up in their respective categories.

And Mad Men of course.

 

[giga]

Fuck all yall. The Other Woman was just as amazing.

 

[rekameohs]

But give Cranston, Paul and BB all the awards, I say!

You're goddamn right.

 

[Nameless]

Ultimately I'm happy with any Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Downton wins. Oh, and Claire Danes.

 

[Arnie]

If Breaking Bad wins best drama over Mad Men I'll laugh, a lot.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I like Aaron Paul as much as the next guy, but not ONE fucking supporting nom for Boardwalk Empire? Holy shit. I mean, even Anna Gunn got a fucking nom. Kelly Macdonald destroys her.

 

[Fry]

If Breaking Bad wins best drama over Mad Men I'll laugh, a lot.

Mad Men won every fucking year. I've heard many people saying S5 was the worst season so far.

 

[WillyFive]

Fuck all yall. The Other Woman was just as amazing.

This was a particularly good season of Mad Men, I admit. But Breaking Bad needs some love.

 

[rekameohs]

If Breaking Bad wins best drama over Mad Men I'll laugh, a lot.

This is the best chance it has to. BB's strongest season vs. Mad Men's weakest.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Ooh I am hyped.

Common Christine Baranski!


Shame The Good Wife Isn't up for best Drama this year. Want it to win at least once before its over.

I had no idea that other people on this site had taste and watched The Good Wife.

It is a shame that it isn't up for Best Drama since it's future is always in flux. I'm really glad Julianna won last year though. At least someone from the show got some recognition to show how amazing it is. Hopefully she and Christine win again. I'd be happy with Archie winning as well.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I like Aaron Paul as much as the next guy, but not ONE fucking supporting nom for Boardwalk Empire? Holy shit.

Aaron and Esposito were god like in the last season. To me they are inarguable nominees. The rest I'm not so sure of.

 

[Akibastman]

Mad Men will be the first drama to win an Emmy for every season, mark my words.

 

[Eggplant Wizard]

Best Drama's going to Homeland, MM, or Downton. Sorry to say Breaking Bad doesn't have a chance, though I preferred Mad Men S5 to Breaking Bad S4 anyway.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Its probably my favorite show on television right now. So scared this could be the last season

Its really riding on the edge ratings wise which is sad because those ratings on ANY other network would be an auto renew. Its 18-49 numbers in particular are low. However, it tend to appeal to a high income audience (similar to what keep West Wing one for its last 3 seasons) so I have hope.

I really don't think Archie has a chance this season. Was not her best.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Mad Men won every fucking year. I've heard many people saying S5 was the worst season so far.

These people need to be crucified.

Also I don't know if to cheer for Elisabeth Moss or Claire Danes for best actress

 

[dead souls]

And the one year without Cranston eligible he gets knocked out by underdog Kyle Chandler in true Friday Night Lights fashion.

That was easily the best moment of last year's ceremony. Hamm is a decent actor, but he's been outclassed in the category by one or two people every year he's been nominated, so I don't care that he keeps losing.

I think Cranston should win again tonight. If anybody else wins it should be Damian Lewis from Homeland.

I'm also hoping that Homeland dethrones Mad Men in the Best Drama category, since I don't think the true best drama (Breaking Bad) has much of a shot to win. Season five of Mad Men had a few great episodes, but was pretty weak otherwise.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Should be Boardwalk Empire. Season 2 was epic.

Never going to happen, although it should. In a perfect world.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Never going to happen, although it should. In a perfect world.

Yup.

 

[MarauderShields]

I think Cranston should win again tonight. If anybody else wins it should be Damian Lewis from Homeland.

Michael C. Hall deserves some kind of award for being the only thing worth a damn on Dexter.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Breaking Bad should win everything it's nominated for, but who knows if that'll happen. How the fuck did Hamm not win last year?

 

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

I really don't understand all the love for Mad Men, I forced myself through the first season, got to half of second and dropped it, I find it so boring, not invested in story or characters, but as I have read it, it's kind of a love it/hate it kind of deal. BB for the win please, it is IMO the best drama around, easily! Homeland is incredible, Boardwalk is great too but Breaking Bad is so unique and miles away IMO from anything else.

Now, you can tell me I'm a retard, I don't care.

Yeah Mr White! Science!

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Breaking Bad should win everything it's nominated for, but who knows if that'll happen. How the fuck did Hamm not win last year?

You really think Breaking Bad should win best supporting actress?

 

[cacophony]

I want Giancarlo to win. Paul can win next year

 

[rekameohs]

I want Giancarlo to win. Paul can win next year

I want Esposito too, but Paul got "Problem Dog" as his nomination. That speech is like instant Emmy.

 

[Wes]

[Eggplant Wizard]

You really think Breaking Bad should win best supporting actress?

I think it should next year.

 

[dead souls]

Never going to happen, although it should. In a perfect world.

Boardwalk or Game of Thrones don't even deserve to be nominated in the Best Drama category. Just goes to show you how valuable that HBO prestige still is.

Michael C. Hall deserves some kind of award for being the only thing worth a damn on Dexter.

He's a great actor but his time to win was in the past. It would be ridiculous to reward him for what Dexter is now.

 

[iammeiam]

How the fuck did Hamm not win last year?

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

One of those moments that kept me from entirely giving up on the awards, to boot.

 

[MarauderShields]

He's a great actor but his time to win was in the past. It would be ridiculous to reward him for what Dexter is now.

Well I dont know that I disagree and I know he will never win but he doesnt have the advantage of working with a great cast. Shame he didnt win the award at some point because he is always great.

 

[Omzz]

Bryan Cranston for Crawl Space should get him an emmy. Still not sure about the others though

 

[Guzim]

Go Schmidt!

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Epic snub for Micheal Pitt.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

These are the ones that matter to me:

Best Drama
Breaking Bad

Best Actor
Bryan Cranston

Supporting Actor in a Drama
Aaron Paul

Best Actress
Claire Danes

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Boardwalk or Game of Thrones don't even deserve to be nominated in the Best Drama category.

 

[blahblah...blah]

I expect to see these used at least once each on GAF during the ceremony:

If Cranston loses:

If Aaron Paul loses:

If Aaron Paul wins:

If both of them win:

 

[Eggplant Wizard]

I expect to see these used at least once each on GAF during the ceremony:

What if Esposito wins?

 

[Fry]

What if Esposito wins?

[BuddyJoeHooker]

I like mine better

 

[NaM]

I can't wait for next year to see Jonathan Banks take supporting actor.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Go Breaking Bad. All hail to the king.

 

[Future Foundation]

Whelp, I'm staying the fuck off Tumblr tonight.

No offense to Claire, but I'm rooting for my girl Mary Crawley tonight. I'd be cool with Breaking Bad/Boardwalk Empire for Best Drama.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

You really think Breaking Bad should win best supporting actress?

Lol no way, I forgot Anna Gunn was nominated. She's not nearly as bad as a lot of people on the forum think, but she doesn't deserve an award.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Okay, so then it will be:

2012 Emmy's - Cranston
2013 Emmy's - Hamm
2014 Emmy's - Cranston

Book it. Cranston with the Emmy for all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad. Goddamn.

nope
2012-Cranston(season 4)
2013-Cranston(season 5, part 1)
2014-Cranston(season 5, part two)

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Boardwalk or Game of Thrones don't even deserve to be nominated in the Best Drama category. Just goes to show you how valuable that HBO prestige still is.

Game of Thrones doesn't, I'll agree with that. But season 2 of Boardwalk Empire was brilliant and definitely earns its spot.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Was Aaron Paul's nomination for Problem Dog?

 

[PhoenixDark]

Congrats to GoT's 6 wins at the creative arts Emmys. I'm not expecting that they'll get Best Drama but it'd be great if they did.

It doesn't deserve to be nominated for Best Drama; clearly the worst show on the list. Hopefully Homeland wins
