This was a super hard year for predictions. Some of the winners weren't on anyone's radars. I'm not feeling too bad about myself since I read today that the critics were only right ~50% of the time.
I still somehow tied to win our office Emmy pool. I would have won if I hadn't changed from Anna Gunn to Maggie Smith at the last minute-- CURSES! I'm SO happy Bob Newhart finally won to an Emmy. I am however upset that Sarah Paulson did not win for American Horror Story: Asylum. What does a girl have to do around here to win an Emmy (cause I'm pretty sure she already did it last season)?
"Breaking Bad" rightfully won best drama. However there was no love for Bryan Cranston or Aaron Paul (though each has won previously). "Breaking Bad" is still eligible in next year's Emmys due to their split season. I'm predicting they win BIG then since these last episodes have been outstanding.
My previous predictions in red below. Winners are marked in blue.
