The
Emmys are this Sunday.
I haven’t seen a bunch of the shows and miniseries nominated this year which
could prove detrimental. There’s just too much out there to keep track of it
all. Will be an interesting ceremony as they are doing it remotely. Let’s see
how that works. 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 predictions and outright guesses:
