The
Emmys are this Sunday.
I’m betting heavily on Ted Lasso and The Crown. The biggest fight will be
between Mare of Easttown and The Queen’s Gambit. Good thing I like
all of these shows. I do think it's wrong that Hamilton is running as a TV-Movie when it was running as a film for The Golden Globes. They have their Tonys and Grammys, stop trying to give them more. 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:
