Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special: Mike Birbiglia "Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man and the Pool" Netflix


I know, it looks like I'm going all chalk in my predictions, but I'm picking The Traitors over RuPaul's Drag Race and even picking Late Night with Seth Meyers to win for Outstanding Talk Show over The Daily Show. 

The Bear (Season 2) pretty much won most of the category like last year (or in January), but Hacks (Season 3) really did have a fantastic season with Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder giving outstanding performances that even still have me in goosebumps (that season finale was so freakin good!). 

But don't sleep on ABC's Abbott Elementry; they could be the comedy category's surprising underdogs (like 30 Rock in 2007). 

In the meantime, the drama category is mostly a sweep with Hulu's Shogun, which had a blockbuster first season with solid performances and strong writing. The only category that Shogun isn't nominated for is Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, for which I choose The Gilded Age's Christine Baranski. 

Those are my predictions for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. Who do you think will win television's biggest night? Leave a comment. 

You can catch the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on ABC on Sunday, September 15th, at 7/6c.
