The
Emmys are on
Monday. It’s strange because it was supposed to have aired last September but
was postponed due to the strikes. What’s interesting is that some of the series
have nominations from their previous season. For example, The Bear has been winning a bunch of awards lately for their
recently aired second season but the nominations for these awards are from
their first season, hence the pilot episode nom. This also means that Better Call Saul is back in the running but
will unfortunately lose to Succession
(I can still hope for some miracles though). Anyway, here are my predictions:
