The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Nominees and My Predictions

I haven't really had a chance to make my Primetime Emmy predictions, mainly because, at the time, I was unsure as to which categories were going to be presented at the Creative awards ceremony. As always, the lead actor in a comedy series and the Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series are the hardest categories when it comes to making predictions. Jim Parsons is hilarious on The Big Bang Theory, which I believe was snubbed for Outstanding Comedy Series. On the other hand, 30 Rock is one of the best shows on television right now. That goes without saying that I love the character of Michael Scott on The Office.
