I snatched the following list from Entertainment Weekly because I wasn’t going to type out every single name and show when copy/paste works so much better. Anyway, since I can’t guess the Emmys as well as I can the Oscars, I’m just going to pick who I’d like to win, my pick will be bold. I may give a few comments to those I think may win… or just comments in general. However, there are a few categories I know nothing about due to shows I don’t watch. Lastly, since there are 20 categories, I’m splitting these posts. Thank me later.
*And just like any award show, there are what we call “snubs” meaning, shows or actors we, the audience, felts have been left out. I’ll include any that I personally felt have been overlooked or left out for at least a nomination.
To also save some time, I have some acronyms I’ll use

Stay logged in for my comedy picks…

I’m only commenting because I’ve become completely obsessed with Lost. It should get every award in every category. I can’t even watch True Blood anymore because frankly, I’d rather watch Lost again for the THIRD time than watch a new episode of True Blood.
In a way, I’m glad I never had to wait a week or an entire summer (OMG!!) between episodes. But in another way, it sort of sucks that I didn’t get to go on the ride along with all the other fans.
And get this — tonight in my guitar class, the teacher started talking about electromagnetism and sound. Not a minute later, he called role and one of the names was Jorge Garcia. Trip out!
I completely feel you regarding waiting a week/summer… I’ve been on both sides of the fence. Seasons 1-5 I didn’t have to wait, but after I finished season 5, I had to wait for 6 and then every other week… which was bittersweet. I felt like I was part of a global community watching the finale, so that was nice. But the waiting was intense, especially after each cliffhanger episode ended with.
So yes, I want LOST to win everything. On the comedy side, I want Modern Family. I’m taking my time with True Blood. For me, definitely doesn’t compare with LOST. I will actually start my third viewing after I finish rewatching season 6. Then I will start my marathon. But I gotta hurry because new TV shows are starting soon. I’ll be checking out No Ordinary Family as a Heroes replacement. lol
And guitar class? That’s awesome. Surely you will upload a video of you rocking out?
