The
Emmys are on Monday
this year instead of Sunday (NBC won’t give up Sunday Night Football). I haven’t
seen Marvelous Mrs. Maisel which will probably screw me over on some
predictions. This is probably one of the most hard to predict years with all
the new series, but that won’t stop me. For the Primetime Emmys predictions,
it’s same as past years: I play to win but am happy if the one I want to win
takes the statue. Here now are the fearless predictions:
