Emmy Awards 2010: Who Should Win vs. Who Will Win
Every year I find it challenging to analyze Emmy nominations, because I tend to choose with my heart on my sleeve. If a character or show resonates with me on an emotional level, I place all hope firmly in their corner.
Of course I am rooting for Lost to win in every category, but if I had to guess – Jack Bender will win for directing, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof will win for writing and Terry O’Quinn will take home the statue for Supporting Actor. However, I have a feeling that even the final season of Lost will be unable to topple the Mad Men juggernaut.
Below I have designated and differentiated. Enjoy!
