If you watch awards shows, be sure to set your DVR for the Emmy Awards on Fox this Sunday. It should be better than usual with Andy Samberg hosting the affair.
The list of award categories and nominees is endless, but the category I care about is Outstanding Drama Series, which this year includes:
-Better Call Saul, AMC
-Downton Abbey, PBS
-Game of Thrones, HBO
-Homeland, Showtime
-House of Cards, Netflix
-Mad Men, AMC
-Orange is the New Black, Netflix
Once again the major networks did not have a single nominee (I don't consider PBS a network on the proper sense and Downton Abbey is a British import anyway). AMC and Netflix are already the big winners based on their nominee counts. However, my vote is for Mad Men. And I hope Jon Hamm takes the best actor award as well. We have time to award the other shows, but Mad Men will not return even though I would have followed the series for many more years.
Update: The results are in. While Game of Thrones took the best drama award, it was great to see Jon Hamm take the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series award after seven long years.
