Here are my predictions of who I think will win and who I want to win. I usually play to win, but if the one I wanted to win take the trophy, I’ll take the hit on my predictions. I’ve left out the mini-series category because I haven’t seen them and most people could care less. If you’re a betting person though, I’d put my votes into HBO’s Elizabeth I and Showtime’s Into the West. Anyway, here are my predictions:
