2013 Emmy Predictions

[flibber]

Eh, I think Veep was a one time fluke thing. I really think that rode in on the coattails of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and I doubt she's winning again. For whatever reason, I expect New Girl to crack the Comedy Series lineup this year.

I basically agree with this, and still wouldn't be surprised if it wandered back in (this is known as "hedging your bets").

Also, this article seemingly confirms Netflix stuff is eligible, but I think the point about cable stuff taking a long time to break through back in the '90s relates to why Netflix might underperform (at least this season).

Also, I am bored!

But what else? Nurse Jackie had more competition than Veep. I'm not saying it's a sure thing by any means, but I think it's going to be tough for a new show to hurdle it.

Nurse Jackie also had more support across the board then Veep. Nurse Jackie had 8 nominations to Veep's three.

[RayB]

Jane Krakowski will win this year, right?

Right?

[Atonenent.]

McGovern would be placed in Lead and Dockery in Supporting for Donwton Abbey I think, or both in Supporting, I think. Plus Coyle really doesn't stand a shot. But Dockery will be the #1 thing about season 4 and I stupidly already hope she wins next year

Sure, but that still doesn't address the fact that I think Verp has an easier path to a follow-up nomination.

Heh, I'm basically flying blind on Downton's chances.

Heh, I'm basically flying blind on Downton's chances.

In my opinion, Smith and MacLaine (in Guest) are locks, McGovern is very likely, Bonneville and Dockery are possible and if they want as many as they can, Phyllis Logan and Jim Carter (I'd be inclined to predict him if he missed last year) would be next.

If Veep gets bumped, we'll have two newbie nominees, which just seems extreme for the lazy Emmy voters. This isn't a scenario where two freshman comedies sweep in like last year. It will be already established, likely never before nominated shows (i.e. Louie and New Girl).

Yes, such a shocking development hasn't happened in TWO WHOLE YEARS when Big Bang's 4th season & Parks' 3rd season got in.

Last year having 2 newbies you dismiss. Then 3 years ago we had newbies Nurse Jackie, Glee, and Modern Family. Then the year before we had How I Met, Weeds, Flight of the Conchords, and Family Guy. Yes, they are soooo complacent.

Have you read the post you just replied to?

[jjj]

Yes, I read it: "Two newbie nominees, which just seems extreme for the lazy Emmy voters. This isn't a scenario where two freshman comedies sweep in like last year. It will be already established, likely never before nominated shows (i.e. Louie and New Girl)."

He's saying it'd be unlikely for there to be 2 returning shows to get in Comedy for the first time.

How do you interpret that? Are there alternate definitions of the words he uses that are known by you?

Ah, I suppose I misinterpreted your post.

You're still obnoxious!

[Rage Colored Glasses]

I fail to see how that wasn't a response to that point. Parks and BBT were first-time nominees not in their first season. And the year before that, 2009, there were four non-freshman comedies nominated for the first time (Weeds, How I Met Your Mother, Flight of the Conchords, and Family Guy).

Irt Veep, if there's one thing it does have in its favor is that it may not have to endure the backlash that Nurse Jackie got in 2011, if it's second season is good of course.

[Souler]

He's still wrong because two years ago BBT's third and Parks & Rec's second season got in!



ETA: Or not. LOL. Let me look that up.

ETA2: I should have known better than to mess with jjj, obviously. But it was a nice feeling while it lasted!

OMG I didn't think about that! Can we just submit Episode 1 now?

But.. will they show her reaction right after? Or maybe they will skip some time after the season 3 finale ( Maybe after Matthew's funeral? ) ?

Do you just, like, type all of this into your high-tech statistics machine powered by cats? You could have enlightened me without being such a bitch!

ANYWAY.

I just hope we live in a world where Louie gets nominated.

They're skipping 6 months, so no on-screen funeral for Matthew

[FredArtik]

Bummer. What a waste of Emmy tape.

[Atonenent.]

I still hope we at least get a glimpse of the reaction. I'd be fine if they went with some uneven flashbacks as long as it's a glorious tape for Dame Dockery
