Bryan Cranston won that year too. Cranston also won in 2009, and 2008. Bryan Cranston has now won 4 Emmys for playing Walter White, Aaron Paul has won three, … Continue reading Emmy Winners
Always a much harder category to predict, the guest categories should include some interesting results. Bob Newhart for The Big Bang Theory is a sure thing. James Earl Jones might also follow him for The Big Bang Theory. Carl Reiner … Continue reading EMMY WATCH: Best Guest Actor/Actress In A Comedy

Well, in an impossible to predict frontrunner status, some combination of the Modern Family team will inevitably get nominations. Ty Burrell, Ed O’Neill, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Eric Stonestreet.

Not waiting till midseason is probably a smart move. … Continue reading Fall TV: A Night By Night Comparison Of What May And May Not Work
ABC has renewed a bunch of shows tonight.

A nomination for Happy Endings would be “ah-mah-zing” as our … Continue reading Emmy Wish List: Best Comedy Series
