So, ahead of the show tomorrow night, I'm going to do a quick run-through of my final predictions for the rest of these categories:
Outstanding Variety Series:
- Jimmy Kimmel Live!
- Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
- Real Time with Bill Maher
- Saturday Night Live
- The Colbert Report
- The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
I'm real sick and tired of The Daily Show winning this category every single year, but since we're going on 10 years running, I feel I have to predict it until it actually loses.
Will Win: The Daily Show
Should Win: The Colbert Report (I've thought this for the last few years at least)
Dark Horse: Jimmy Kimmel Live! (he sent in the episode where Matt Damon hijacked the show and there were about 50 different celebrity cameos- if anything takes down Jon Stewart it will be that)
Outstanding Reality-Competition Program:
- Dancing With the Stars
- Project Runway
- So You Think You Can Dance
- The Amazing Race
- The Voice
- Top Chef
Will Win: The Amazing Race (this is kind of another Daily Show-type situation)
Should Win: Top Chef
Dark Horse: Top Chef (the only thing that took Race down once in the past)
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie:
- James Cromwell (American Horror Story: Asylum)
- Zachary Quinto (American Horror Story: Asylum)
- Scott Bakula (Behind the Candelabra)
- John Benjamin Hickey (The Big C: Hereafter)
- Peter Mullan (Top of the Lake)
Will Win: James Cromwell (veteran status)
Should Win: Peter Mullan
Dark Horse: Peter Mullan (he really was terrific in Top of the Lake- his pure evilness could grab their attention in a way the others didn't)
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie:
- Sarah Paulsen (American Horror Story: Asylum)
- Ellen Burstyn (Political Animals)
- Charlotte Rampling (Restless)
- Alfre Woodard (Steel Magnolias)
- Imelda Staunton (The Girl)
Will Win: Sarah Paulsen
Should Win: Sarah Paulsen
Dark Horse: Charlotte Rampling
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie:
- Michael Douglas (Behind the Candelabra)
- Matt Damon (Behind the Candelabra)
- Benedict Cumberbatch (Parade's End)
- Al Pacino (Phil Spector)
- Toby Jones (The Girl)
Will Win: Michael Douglas
Should Win: Michael Douglas
Dark Horse: None- Michael Douglas will win this category- it's the biggest lock of the night
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie:
- Jessica Lange (American Horror Story: Asylum)
- Helen Mirren (Phil Spector)
- Sigourney Weaver (Political Animals)
- Laura Linney (The Big C: Hereafter)
- Elisabeth Moss (Top of the Lake)
Will Win: Jessica Lange
Should Win: Elisabeth Moss
Dark Horse: Elisabeth Moss (really crossing my fingers for this one!)
Outstanding Miniseries or Movie:
- American Horror Story: Asylum
- Behind the Candelabra
- Phil Spector
- Political Animals
- The Bible
- Top of the Lake
Will Win: Behind the Candelabra
Should Win: Top of the Lake
Dark Horse: Top of the Lake (not a lot of hope for it though; Behind the Candelabra is pretty locked here)
