Last Minute Emmy Wish List in the Comedy Categories

Here are some last minute predictions for the Oscars in the comedy categories using only shows I've seen. Seven shows get nominated in the comedy category and in the writing and directing categories the shows generally go to specific episodes. In this case, I listed overall writing and directing and then picked twelve episodes I really liked in hopes of picking them up. On the drama side, I don't really have many hopes except hoping that Bates Motel gets honored and that Aubrey Plaza gets a supporting nod in Legion.

If I had an Emmy Ballot: Lazy Edition Drama Picks

I preface the word "Lazy" with my Emmy predictions because I can't watch everything so I'm making speculative picks based on what I know of a show from past seasons or have heard of it.

For instance, although I have only watched two or three whole episodes of Mad Men, I know that it's the show's last run and I like Jon Hamm and Christina Hendricks enough that I'd be happy to see them rewarded with Emmys despite the fact that I can't possibly judge their worthiness. Why don't I just watch Mad Men so I can definitively say whether they belong? My schedule is too busy to start watching every single TV series just for a simple personal blog entry.

In other cases, I like the idea of Downton Abbey as a show and I'm happy it's being watched. I just made a decision not to watch it because, like I said, so many hours in the day. At the same time, I can say without watching Mr Robot that it doesn't sound like a show I want to see rewarded, and while it's not a well-founded decision you should trust me on, them's the rules of this exercise.

Lastly, there are shows that I watched in past seasons that I didn't get around to watching this season. Synopses and previews have helped me determine whether these are shows I'd want rewarded. In the case of The Americans, I quit the show because I found Phil and Elizabeth's ability to fool everyone around then unrealistic. However, this season I heard from general buzz that their daughter Paige discovered their secret identities. Now that sounds like the show I was hoping for. Am I gonna go and backtrack through a season and a half? Hell no! The good news is that this not watching everything method is something you can all participate in, so here we go:

A night of live Emmy tweeting

Highlights from my Twitter Feed last night at the Emmys going from end of the ceremony to the beginning:

Miniseries:
Winners: Game Change, Tom Berenger; Hatfields and McCoys; Kevin Costner, Hatfields and McCoys; Julianne Moore, Game Change; Jessica Lange, American Horror Story; Director Jay Roach, Game Change

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

2 performances of Sarah Palin have won Emmys but I think the best Palin inpression isn't even on tv: @SaraJBenincasa on youtube wins

Edward Copeland‏@edcopeland

@okonh0wp Actually, I'm beginning to think Romney might do Palin the best. He doesn't get voice, but captures essence.

Annie Barrett‏@EWAnnieBarrett

If Claire Danes and Julianne Moore stared at each other's dresses, would they go blind at the SAME TIME? #emmys #yellow #hazards

Jaime Weinman‏@weinmanj

I don't care how prestigious TV gets, I still think a part of Kevin Costner tells him that "Emmy winner Kevin Costner" is a come-down.

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp21h

@weinmanj I'd agree w/you in TV directing or producing but he never won an acting oscar

Todd VanDerWerff‏@tvoti

When is Kevin Costner gonna get his own FX series with an occupational irony narrative? #Emmys

Price Peterson‏@pricepeterson

They should just distribute Emmys with, like, a t-shirt cannon.

Alan Sepinwall‏@sepinwall

 For the most part people who work in TV don't watch TV, then are asked to pick what's best on TV. #ThatsShowbiz, which is stupid

[In response to a Mad Men actor won in the screenwriting category for miniseries]
Abe vanderBent‏@abevanderbent

@sepinwall Miniseries awards: the cure for the common Mad Men actor Emmy drought

Seth MacFarlane‏@SethMacFarlane

RT @JoAnne_Hankey: did you just draw that up in the men's room? #Emmys Behind-the-scenes // Yes but don't worry, I washed my hands.

[In response to Julianne Moore thanking director Jay Roach and his brilliance]:
Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

Jay Roach, for those of you who dont know, directed Meet the Fockers and Austin Powers. He's hardly brilliant

  

Kevin McFarland‏@km_mcfarland

If only this was #Inception and the camera could cut away and back real quick to reveal Tom Hardy was winning this award. #Emmys.

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

Tom Bergeron and Tom Berenger both won tonight and more importantly, I finally realized they weren't the same person

Dan Hopper‏@DanHopp

In Memoriam of anyone who's ever been on, or near, a television.

Sara Benincasa‏@SaraJBenincasa

Time to roll out The Deadies! #EmmyAwards

Sara Benincasa‏@SaraJBenincasa

Aww, man, Patrice. #EmmyAwards

Cory Barker‏@corybarker

Tom Berenger is taking it on a lot of faith that we've seen Hatfields and McCoys. #tvdotcom #emmys 

James Poniewozik‏@poniewozik

Is there an ABC show whose stars have not yet presented at this thing other than SHARK TANK? #emmys

Nathaniel Rogers‏@nrogers

@nathanielr: I'm starting to admire the creativity Hollywood shucksters employ when inventing new forms of category fraud

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

@rural_juror Disliking Ryan Murphy and liking Jessica Lange's role in AHS are 2 different things

James Poniewozik‏@poniewozik: 
Inclusion of MISSING in Miniseries makes me wish there really was an Emmy for Best Cancelled Series" never heard of this one

Doug Benson‏@DougBenson

OMG, a prostitute just passed out in my hotel room, turn on ABC right now. #Emmys

Doug Benson‏@DougBenson

"This is the first win for Damien Lewis. Jon Hamm has still never won an Emmy." -Mean lady announcer really rubbing it in on the #Emmys

Cory Barker‏@corybarker

It would have been amazing had the audience booed when Jessica Lange said "Ryan Murphy." #tvdotcom #emmys" heh

Variety:
Winners: Daily Show with John Stewart; Director Glenn Weiss, 65th Annual Tony Awards; Louis CK, Live at the Beacon Theater
Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

I'm skipping the variety portion of the program, wake me up when the miniseries go back and Jessica Lange wins

James Poniewozik‏@poniewozik

Jon Stewart does physical comedy bit upon winning, nearly kills self. Love it. #emmys 

Sara Benincasa‏@SaraJBenincasa

I want to give Jon Stewart the MVP Award for doing the most amusing shit this evening. #EmmyAwards

Edward Copeland‏@edcopeland

Thankfully, the Emmy Awards is the only thing on TV that is ineligible.

Drama:
Winners: Homeland; Damien Lewis, Homeland; Claire Danes, Homeland; Maggie Smith, Downtoan Abbey; Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad; Director Tim Van Patten, Boardwalk Empire; Homeland's Writing Team

Todd VanDerWerff‏@tvoti

I am in favor of @midwestspitfire and @MeredithBlake's KickStarter to buy Jon Hamm a used Emmy. Get on board, everyone! #Emmys

Will Harris‏@NonStopPop

Wow! Not complaining about Damian Lewis taking the win. Cranston's great, but it's not like his mantle's devoid of Emmys

Jill Mader‏@jillemader

I've had countless people to tell me to start watching Homeland lately. Now the #emmys are too. Geez guys, I have a job you know. 

The Onion‏@TheOnion

Bryan Cranston definitely deserved another win for 'Drug People Show.' #OnionEmmys

Erin‏@erinprovolone

Did the Emmys people put presenters together based on who they ship? First Poehler and CK, now Fey and Hamm...

Matthew Seitz‏@mattzollerseitz

At this point I kinda hope Jon Hamm never wins an Emmy for MAD MEN. It'll cement the character as supremely off-putting.

[In response to ABC letting us know that we all can tweet a certain way]

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

ABC is so obnoxious, stop telling me how to tweet! 

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

Oooohh! finally a guy who's never won before on stage! #damienlewis

Kevin Haley‏@KevinPHaley

Lt. Winters wins!!! That is what I am talking about. An Emmy to Hamm would be retroactive at this point.

Alan Sepinwall‏@sepinwall

And with Aaron Paul's win, it's time to watch him on "The Price Is Right" again http://youtu.be/ulBeytn3bT0  

Matthew Seitz‏@mattzollerseitz

Aaron Paul is so likable he could play a guy who slow-roasts babies and I'd still think, "He means well. There's good in him."

Todd VanDerWerff‏@tvoti

The best way the #Emmys could improve is to have people who actually watch television vote on them. #helpfulhints

Kevin McFarland‏@km_mcfarland

"Thank you so much for not killing me off!" Aaron Paul, being awesome. #Emmys 

Erin‏@erinprovolone

Boy it must be fun to be on a show where you thank your bosses for not killing you off #IWILLGETTOBREAKINGBADSOMEDAYISWEAR

Responding to a barrage of Maggie Smith bashing:
Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

@rural_juror @Lesismore9o9 @televisionary @midwestspitfire haven't seen Downtown Abbey but maggie smith has been awesome since the 60s, come on!

Frank Conniff‏@FrankConniff

"Maggie Smith couldn't be here tonight because she's had an incredible career and doesn't need this shit." #Emmys

Nathaniel Rogers‏@nathanielr

I honestly think Christina Hendricks is world class. The things she can do when scenes aren't even about her. Let alone when they are.!

Nathaniel Rogers‏@nathanielr

so sad for Christina Hendricks. But then this Academy thinks Jon Cryer deserves acting prizes so she's better off.

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

Julian Fellows = Bernard Lee (from the James Bond series) ?

Reality Shows
Winners: Amazing Race; Tom Bergeron, Dancing with the Stars

emilynussbaum‏@emilynussbaum

Tom "Harrison" Bergeron wins for Dancing with the "Oh my god it's full of" Stars. 

Alan Sepinwall‏@sepinwall

Bergeron only outlier so far RT @QuestionMarkP: line about "the easiest way to win an Emmy is to have already won an Emmy" looking strong

Todd VanDerWerff‏@tvoti

I can never figure out what it is the Emmys value in a "reality host." So far as I can tell, it involves showing up for work. #Emmys 

[Getting kind of bored]

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

I just gave my mom a lifetime achievement award for best awardshow watcher. If she had a twitter account, shed kill it pic.twitter.com/q0Np6qld

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

w/out even checking the feed, I'm guessing twitter bashing goes up 500% w/MacFarlane onscreen

[After which I saw.....:]

Les Chappell‏@Lesismore9o9

I was deeply hoping that microphone bit wasn't intentional and the Emmys realized no one wants to hear Seth McFarlane talk. #Emmys

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

Julian Fellows = Bernard Lee (from the James Bond series) ?

Cory Barker@corybarker

What if Modern Family cast members did a season of Amazing Race? The Emmys would fold upon themselves."

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

That's a lot of amy poehler's boobs we're seeing. How is that classy?

Comedy

Winners: Modern Family; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep; Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men; Julie Bowen, Modern Family; Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family; Director Steve Levitan, Modern Family; Writer Louis CK, Louie

emilynussbaum‏@emilynussbaum

Big Bang sketch. To watch the Emmys, you would have no idea that this is actually a wildly exciting period in history for TV comedy. 

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

Though there were worse choices, I'd argue Julia L-D's not Emmy worthy b/c Armando I.'s script is the real star of Veep

Retta‏@unfoRETTAble

You SEE!!! THIS is why Amy deserves the Emmy!! That bitch is hilarious. I’m not even calling it the #Emmys anymore. I wanna win the #Amy

On the best actor race:

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

I might like House of Lies if I knew what it was. Other than that, b/w ppl who've already won and people who play themselves, who is there to root for?

James Poniewozik‏@poniewozik

"This is crazy!" --Jon Cryer #seconded #emmys

Erin Provolone@erinprovolone

"@erinprovolone: Oh gross. Now I wish Modern Family had picked someone for the leading actor category."my thoughts exactly

emilynussbaum‏@emilynussbaum

So, who else should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress? Sing out, Followers!

In response:

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

@emilynussbaum cheryl hines, suburgatory; anna chlumsky , veep, those 2 worthy subs #suppactresssnubs

lara cohen‏@Larakate

every time they say modern family i'm just going to pretend they're saying parks and rec. cc: @unfoRETTAble

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

"@NonStopPop: My only wish is that "The Breaking Bad Show" had been longer." Agreed!

Libby Hill‏@midwestspitfire

I love it that Modern Family kind of hates their audience. And now we'll throw Community fans a bone. FUCK. YOU. A. B. C. #Emmys

Alan Sepinwall‏@sepinwall

That Louie episode was my least favorite episode in that category, but can't begrudge Louis CK for overall genius of Louie s2. #emmys

Les Chappell@Lesismore9o9

Is there any way we can vote for new Emmy voters?

Worthy Snubs for Best Supporting:

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

@emilynussbaum how 'bout rex lee, suburgatory, james van der beek, don't trust the b, jack mcb 30 rock, or mike omalley glee?

Orrin Konheim‏@okonh0wp

Happy to see Eric stonestreet win once but 2X is a bit much, especially w ed oniell and max g. in the running #emmys nice speech though

Dan Hopper‏@DanHopp

Who's the Lead Actor on SNL? Lorne Michaels?

Jill Mader‏@jillemader

Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson are my favorites on Modern Family, but I'm so tired of seeing that category dominated by one show.
