It’s Emmy Time again. Doin’ the same thing I’ve done for previous years. Part I = my dream nominations. Part II = actual predictions. Part III = results and wrap up. Also, I pick five people I want to win for Creative Arts Emmy. Here are the five this year: Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog for Outstanding Special Class Media, SNL’s Motherlover for Original Music & Lyrics, Picture Editing for a Comedy Series should go to How I Met Your Mother – Naked Man for all their naked man poses alone, the filmtastic storyboard elements of Storymakers should win Outstanding Title Design (although United States of Tara’s pop-up theme is fun) and for Best Commercial, I’m going for Alec in Huluwood, the concept works for me (Sprint Nextel’s Wedding spot is pretty funny too). Here are the nominess I would have picked in some of the bigger categories:
