EMMY 2010 Prediction Game

[Dean Winchester]

So, the EMMY Awards take place this Sunday -- it is the last time LOST will ever be nominated for something, so here's hoping it picks up a few awards!

Anyway, I did this for the Oscars so thought I'd give it another spin. Basically, just follow my lead if you wanna' and we'll see who does the best --

Just a bit of fun if you're planning on watching the show, or at least interested in who wins what!

I'm a little uncertain on the supporting actors. Terry O'Quinn was wonderful in Season 6 and will probably win, but I can't stop myself from hoping for Aaron Paul

This was... unexpected. Got three rights or something like that

[Balloon]

Wish Lost had one Best Drama as the Emmys usually recognize shows in their last year. Thought it was a bit unfair for the Academy to do that for years and not respect it with Lost, but Mad Men's "Shut The Door, Have A Seat" was just as good as "The End", so I understand why Mad Men reaped again. Also wish Matthew Fox was recognized, although I wouldn't have minded another win for Hamm.

[Jacko]

I was so cranky when Matthew Fox didn't win Oustanding Lead Actor! I thought he'd get it for sure. The same for the Oustanding Writing for a Drama Series category; I thought Darlton had it in the bag.
