2013 Emmy Nominations: 65th Primetime Emmys List of Nominees and Winners Predictions
With the 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards just days away, Enstars took a shot at predicting some of the winners in the main categories for the 65th Emmys, which will take place on Sunday, Sept. 22.
As the press and critics have started laying their bets on different nominees they think might win, there seems to be a general consensus regarding the winners in a few categories.
Many critics believe that Breaking Bad (outstanding drama series) might finally get its due this time, considering this is the last time the show will be in the game. The show has been nominated in the category four times. Some critics believe that House of Cards might frustrate the show's chances at a win.
Michael Douglas (Behind the Candelabra) seems to be the most likely to take home the outstanding lead actor in a miniseries or movie award this year, even though Douglas' co-star Matt Damon gave an exceptional performance and is also nominated in the category. Behind the Candelabra also seems to be the forerunner in the outstanding miniseries or movie race.
According to predictions, Elisabeth Moss (Top of the Lake) should win the Emmy Statuette for outstanding lead actress in a miniseries or movie. Jessica Lang (American Horror Story: Asylum) could also win.
Most critics are rooting for Claire Danes (outstanding lead actress in a drama series) this year, Danes has already won an Emmy for her performance in Homeland in the past. Kerry Washington (Scandal) is being considered as Danes' main competition this year.
Bryan Cranston is also expected to take home the award for outstanding lead actor in a drama series. Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) is being viewed as a strong contender though.
In the category of outstanding lead in a comedy series, there is an agreement about Louis CK (Louie) nabbing the award. CK's show Louie also might take the outstanding comedy series award this year.
The one category which is inviting some conflicting predictions is the outstanding lead actress in a comedy series, with some critics feeling that Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) should finally get her due and others suggesting that Julia Louis-Dreyfus will win the award for the second time for her performance in Veep. There is also the suggestion that Tina Fey might get the sentimental vote as this is the last time she is being nominated for her work in 30 Rock.
For outstanding supporting actress in a comedy Series, some critics think Jane Krakowski (30 Rock) deserve to win but Julie Bowen (Modern Family) will trump her.
