Emmy, Hanging Out With A Few Other Friends Named Emmy

UPDATE 8/26/14: "Breaking Bad" and "Modern Family" won big at the 66th Emmy Awards. Below in red are the winners. My votes are in blue. 

---

The 66th annual Emmy award winners will be announced tonight (8/25) on NBC at 8 PM ET. The show will be hosted by Seth Meyers. Below is the list of nominees from CBSnews.com. Since we didnt have an office pool this year, I'm picking who I'd LIKE to win (instead of who I think the Academy will select). Let's see how many I get correct. 

And once again, I'd like to remind everyone that Tatiana Maslany was completely robbed. Seriously, not even a nomination? What other show has all the main characters played by the same person? That would be NONE. 

Note: A few winners were already announced last week at the Creative awards. I will recap all tomorrow.
