2014 Creative Arts Emmys Predictions

I honestly don’t even know why I am doing these predictions for the Creative Arts Emmys as they are bar none the toughest group of nominees to whittle down. Nevermind the fact that this is crafted from a word doc that was 79 pages long (can the emmys please give us a simple doc with the nominees?), the crazy formatting I had to do, and everything that’s been going on in the country. Anyways, it was a fun distraction and really interesting to see what the TV Academy considers when it comes to technical excellence. Though I expect most of the big boys to finish first, it’s worth noting that at least the TV category nominates all types of genres and stories for its awards.

True Detective, Nic Pizzolatto and When Intent is Not Enough

True Detective has been all up and through the news lately. From the news that the HFPA would be forcing the show (correctly I might add) to compete in the Limited Series category at the Golden Globes to the on-going and exhausting casting rumor mill for season 2.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly: 2014 Emmy Nominations

The 2014 Emmy Nominations are right around the corner (July 10th to be exact) and lawd are we in for an interesting Emmy race this year. Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve watched a ton of TV (25 shows to be exact) but when it came time to do these predictions, stuff started getting

Have you all had a chance to check out the Emmy ballots? You should have by now consdering they were released last week 🙂 Anyways, it has come time to discuss the best of TV in the 2013-2014 season, as my summer loves True Blood and Teen Wolf are going to start the new season off this coming week. When I think about what the 2013-2014 season gave to us, it’s pretty clear that the year was one of the broadest ranges of television viewers had to choose from. I think that I watched a grand total of 25 TV shows this year in their entirety (be that 22 or less episodes) which meant narrowing down the fields took forever. There are several shows such as The Good Wife or Veep that coasted to easy wins in their categories, but just as many areas that I had to really think about the choices. Category fraud also came into some play because though the Emmys might see it one way (ALL the maids in Devious Maids are lead?! True Detective as a drama series?) I was left with spaces to fill and harsh decisions to make.
