GMonster's 2013 Emmy Predictions

The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards will be announced on Sunday (9/22). Below are the nominees and my predictions for winners. I hope I make some money in the office pool. Who do you think will win and why?

I've had a much harder time picking winners this year. I think its because the field is much tighter and we have a number of previous winners in the running. I'm probably also overanalyzing everything... imagine that. 

I'm predicting "Breaking Bad" for Outstanding Drama because there is simply nothing better. "Modern Family" may take home many of the comedy awards. "Behind The Candelabra" will take home many of the miniseries/movie awards (including Michael Douglas as best actor). And if my girl Sarah Paulson doesnt win "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a TV Miniseries or Movie" there is no justice in the world. She was tortured all season by Bloodyface in American Horror Story: Asylum. The least they could do is give her an Emmy.
