We're taking a break from the list of Best Actors of All Time to talk about the Emmys
Tonight will be the 66th Emmys. I am going to try to live tweet them again this year (@CatholicSkywalk), but I might not because I still have a lot of work to do before tomorrow
My wife and I watch a LOT of TV. But so many of the shows we love don't get nominated.
Anyway, here are my choices for what I would like to win, and my predictions for what I think will win.
| Category | MY CHOICE | MY PREDICTION |
| BEST DRAMA | Breaking Bad | True Detective |
| BEST COMEDY | The Big Bang Theory | Orange is the New Black |
| BEST ACTOR, DRAMA | Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) | Matthew McConaughey (True Detective) |
| BEST ACTRESS, DRAMA | Robin Wright (House of Cards) | Kerry Washington (Scandal) |
| BEST ACTOR, COMEDY | Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) | Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) |
| BEST ACTRESS, COMEDY | Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) | Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black) |
| BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, DRAMA | Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) | Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) |
| BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS, DRAMA | Lena Headey (Game of Thrones | Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad) |
| BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, COMEDY | Andre Brauer (Brooklyn 99) | Andre Brauer (Brooklyn 99) |
| BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS, COMEDY | Mayim Bialik (The Big Bang Theory) | Julie Bowen (Modern Family) |
| BEST VARIETY/MUSIC SHOW | Saturday Night Live | The Daily Show |
| BEST REALITY SHOW (COMPETITION) | The Amazing Race | Dancing with the Stars |
| BEST TV MOVIE or MINI-SERIES | NONE | Fargo |
| BEST ACTOR, TV MOVIE/MINI-SERIES | Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) | Mark Ruffalo (The Normal Heart) |
| BEST ACTRESS, TV MOVIE/MINI-SERIES | NONE | Helena Bonham Carter (Burton and Taylor) |
I have to admit I'm not that good at picking Emmy winners.
I am curious if Breaking Bad is going to be big this year or not. The final episodes were amazing, but they aired over a year ago. Voters might think that they are now old news.
I still am pulling for Bialik to win an Emmy. Her work on The Big Bang Theory has only gotten better and better.
And while I think that Cranston should go out on top, I think voters might just give McConaughey the win as a reward for his massive renaissance And while I wasn't a fan of the mostly boring True Detective, his performance is top notch.
As to the other categories, my rule of thumb for choosing winners is this: find the one that is the furthest away from traditional Catholic morality and you have a better chance at winning.
