2015 Primetime Emmy Results.







I got 10 out of 15 categories. Not a bad average. If I did miniseries, I would have predicted Olive Kitterage and got even more right. Anyway, here are some of my thoughts.

FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1 Andy Samberg’s opening number was fantastic. Especially the last line. Good job hosting throughout.
2 HBO must be so happy to take down AMC and Netflix.  
3 Glad to see Jon Hamm win something, too bad Amy Pohler and Parks & Recreation wasn’t as lucky.
4 I didn’t think The Daily Show needed anymore, pass the baton already Jon Stewart.
5 Too bad Bill Murray wasn’t there. Would have liked to hear his speech.    

THE WINNERS:
Drama Series: Game of Thrones (Wanted)  
Comedy Series: Veep (Predicted)
Variety Talk Series: The Daily Show
Variety Sketch Series: Inside Amy Schumer (Predicted & Wanted)
