However as lovers of storytelling and frequent watchers of the television, we once again present for your consideration our 4 cents. Enjoy:
Outstanding Comedy Series:
Zer: Modern Family— Quite possibly, the most popular comedy on TV today. I defy you to find someone who doesn’t love this show. If they don’t, they’ve probably never watched it. Put simply, it’s just good television.
Stephanie: Girls or Veep–I’d like to say The Big Bang Theory (for nostalgia, and Jim Parsons) and I never count Modern Family out, but an HBO series will likely win this, and I hope it’s Veep. Seriously this show is hilarious, you should watch it.
Outstanding Drama Series:
Zer: Downton Abbey— This might be a long shot, but if any show could pull an upset off in this category, it’s Downton. A year ago, who would have thought that a UK television program broadcast on PBS would win this category. This is the little show that could. It may be a new category, but I think they’ve got this…but my second choice is Boardwalk Empire.
Stephanie: Downton Abbey–Did you really have to ask? Clearly someone did not see last week’s blog. I’m not saying they will, I”m saying I want them to. Now that they’ve graduated to the Drama Series from Mini-Series it’s any one’s game and Game of Thrones had a pretty awesome season, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire, and Breaking Bad, have equally strong followings, and Mad Men, sorry you disappoint me.
Outstanding Mini-Series of Movie:
Zer: Sherlock— Best. Series. Ever. It’s got style, excellent writing and a phenomenal cast to bring it to life. If this doesn’t win, then they got it wrong. If you haven’t seen it, it’s on Netflix. Check it out.
Stephanie: Sherlock–Watch it. Love it. That’s all I can say. This should and better win.
Outstanding Variety Series:
Zer: The Daily Show — While part of me wants the The Colbert Report to win this category at least once, there’s a reason the The Daily Show wins year after year. On the odd chance The Colbert Report does win this year…you’re welcome.
Stephanie: Ah, the annual battle between Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart. I believe there are other nominees in this category, but does anyone really think they have a chance? No. I’m going with The Colbert Report again this year, purely because one of these times I’ll be right. Love both of these shows, they should tie.
