2014 Emmy's

The Emmy's are Monday, and here's my incredibly uneducated guess at what will happen.

Supporting Actress: Miniseries/Movie

Angela Bassett - American Horror Story: Coven

Kathy Bates - American Horror Story: Coven

Ellen Burstyn - Flowers in the Attic
Frances Conroy - American Horror Story: Coven

Julia Roberts - The Normal Heart

Allison Tolmen - Fargo

Winner - Angela Bassett

So this is one of those completely uneducated guesses. American Horror Story keeps soldiering on, and it'll probably get recognized. Kathy Bates was another notable guest on this year's cycle. Julia Roberts would be a safe bet, but The Normal Heart will be taking home plenty of other awards Monday night.

Supporting Actor: Miniseries/Movie

Matt Bomer - The Normal Heart

Martin Freeman - Sherlock: "His Last Vow"

Colin Hanks - Fargo

Joe Mantello - The Normal Heart

Alfred Molina - The Normal Heart

Jim Parsons - The Normal Heart 

Winner - Matt Bomer

So its a safe bet that someone from The Normal Heart is going to win here. Basically like a draw out of the hat. So, for whatever reason, I'll go with Matt Bomer. So, yeah.

Supporting Actress: Drama

Christine Baranski - The Good Wife

Joanne Froggatt - Downton Abbey

Anna Gunn - Breaking Bad

Lena Headey - Game of Thrones

Christina Hendricks - Mad Men

Maggie Smith - Downton Abbey

Winner - Anna Gunn

Breaking Bad wrapped up its last season nearly a year ago, so in its swan song at the Emmy's, it seems poised to take some awards, with this being one of them. 

Supporting Actor: Drama

Jim Carter - Downton Abbey

Josh Charles - The Good Wife

Peter Dinklage - Game of Thrones

Mandy Patinkin - Homeland 

Aaron Paul - Breaking Bad

Jon Voight - Ray Donovan

Winner - Josh Charles

A loaded category, but The Good Wife's Josh Charles deserves this. It was one of the most shocking TV moments of the past year when his character Will Gardner was killed off. On an overall great year for The Good Wife, I see Charles getting the win here.

Supporting Actress: Comedy

Mayim Bialik - The Big Bang Theory

Julie Bowen - Modern Family

Anna Chlumsky - Veep

Allison Janney - Mom

Kate Mckinnon - Saturday Night Live

Katie Mulgrew - Orange is the New Black

Winner - Katie Mulgrew

Finally, we arrive to a category of shows I've seen. Katie Mulgrew's "Red" is brilliant in Orange is the New Black. She provides good comic relief in literally every scene she's in, whether its the rather grotesque "sandwich" in the pilot, or the chase for the chicken. She deserves this win.

Supporting Actor: Comedy

Fred Armisen - Portlandia

Andre Braugher - Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Ty Burrell - Modern Family

Adam Driver - Girls

Jesse Tyler Ferguson - Modern Family

Tony Hale - Veep

Winner - Tony Hale

Veep has continued to grow in popularity, That, along with my general dislike of Modern Family, has me pointing towards Tony Hale for the win.

Lead Actress: Miniseries/Movie

Helena Bonham Carter - Burton & Taylor

Minnie Driver - Return to Zero

Jessica Lange - American Horror Story: Coven

Sarah Paulson - American Horror Story: Coven

Cicley Tyson - The Trip to Bountiful

Kristen Wiig - The Spirits of Babylon

Winner - Sarah Paulson

Another uneducated guess. Lets go with one of the two AHS:Coven stars (blind-folds self, picks a name out of a hat), Sarah Paulson it is. 

Lead Actor: Miniseries/Movie

Benedict Cumberbatch - Sherlock: "His Last Vow"

Chiwetel Ejiofor - Dancing on the Edge

Idris Elba - Luther

Martin Freeman - Fargo

Mark Ruffalo - The Normal Heart

Billy Bob Thornton - Fargo

Winner - Mark Ruffalo

The Normal Heart was loaded with top talent, The Avenger's star Ruffalo included. I think he gets the win here.

Lead Actress: Drama

Lizzy Caplan - Masters of Sex

Claire Danes - Homeland

Michelle Dockery - Downton Abbey

Julianna Margulies - The Good Wife

Kerry Washington - -Scandal

Robin Wright - House of Cards

Winner - Robin Wright

A loaded category, making it really tough to predict. I'm going with one of the buzzworthy (ugh, I typed buzzworthy) shows and Robin Wright for House of Cards. I apologize for typing buzzworthy.

Lead Actor: Drama

Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad

Jeff Daniels - Newsroom

Jon Hamm - Mad Men

Woody Harrelson - True Detective

Matthew McConaughey - True Detective

Kevin Spacey - House of Cards

Winner - Bryan Cranston

Possibly even more loaded than the Actress category. Without Breaking Bad, this would be a toss-up between the True Detective co-stars, but being its swan song, Bryan Cranston probably gets the nod here.

Lead Actress: Comedy

Lena Dunham - Girls

Edie Falco - Nurse Jackie

Julia Louis - Dreyfus - Veep

Melissa McCarthy - Mike & Molly

Amy Poehler - Parks & Recreation

Taylor Schilling - Orange is the New Black

Winner - Taylor Schilling

I was going back and forth here between Taylor and Julia, and went with the Orange is the New Black star. With how its kept growing in popularity, I think she gets noticed here.

Lead Actor: Comedy

Louis CK - Louie

Don Cheadle - House of Lies

Ricky Gervais - Derek

Matt LeBlanc - Episodes

William H. Macy - Shameless

Jim Parsons - The Big Bang Theory

Winner - Louis CK

Louie made its return after being on hiatus for nearly 1.5yrs, so I think Louis CK takes the Emmy, though I could see Jim Parsons taking it as well.

Reality Competition  Program

The Amazing Race

Dancing With the Stars

Project Runway

So You Think You Can Dance

Top Chef

The Voice

Winner - The Voice

While So You Think You Can Dance is an incredibly well-run show, I'm going with the safe choice here and going with The Voice. The past 2 seasons both featured top talent, with the Fall 2013 season seeing some of the best talent its ever seen.

Variety Series:

The Colbert Report

The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart

Jimmy Kimmel Live

Real Time w/ Bill Maher

Saturday Night Live

The Tonight Show w/ Jimmy Fallon

Winner - The Colbert Report

While Stephen Colbert is moving to CBS next year to take over for David Letterman, the Colbert Report hasn't missed a beat. It should get the win here.

TV Movie:

Killing Kennedy

Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight

The Normal Heart

Sherlock: "His Last Vow"

The Trip to Bountiful

Winner - The Normal Heart

This seems like a slam dunk. The Normal Heart was incredibly well received, and was among the leaders in Emmy nominations. 

Miniseries

American Horror Story: Coven

Bonnie & Clyde

Fargo

Luther

Treme

The White Queen

Winner - American Horror Story: Coven

Another uneducated guess, but I'm going with AHS: Coven here. It seemed to get the American Horror Story cycle back on track, and was among the leaders of miniseries in nominations

Comedy

The Big Bang Theory

Modern Family

Silicon Valley

Louie

Orange is the New Black

Veep

Winner - Orange is the New Black

Orange is the New Black has been a breakout hit, along with its Netflix Drama counterpart House of Cards. The awards run for Modern Family seems to be over, so I think OITNB gets the Emmy.

Drama

Breaking Bad

Game of Thrones

Mad Men

Downton Abbey

House of Cards

True Detective

Winner - True Detective

The toughest decision of the Emmys here, Breaking Bad or True Detective? I think Breaking Bad's last season will get compensated with a win by Bryan Cranston, but ultimately, True Detective will get the big Emmy win here. Its writing was just brilliant.
