The 71st Primetime Emmys are this Sunday, who'll win? Here's my prediction.

Outstanding Comedy Series: The Good Place, NBC.
Outstanding Drama Series: Game of Thornes, HBO

Outstanding Limited Series: When They See us, Netflix
Outstanding Television Movie: Deadwood: The Movie, HBO
Outstanding Variety Talk Series: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, HBO
Outstanding Variety Sketch Series: Saturday Night Live, NBC
Outstanding Competition Program American Ninja Warrior, NBC

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: Ted Danson, The Good Place, NBC.
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep, HBO
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series: Milo Ventimiglia, This Is Us, NBC
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series: Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones, HBO
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie: Jared Harris, Chernobyl, HBO
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie: Niecy Nash, When They See Us, Netflix

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series: Alan Arkin, The Kominksy Method, Netflix
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series: Anna Chlumsky, Veep, HBO

Outstanding Directing for a Variety Series: Don Roy King, Saturday Night Live, NBC

Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series: Josh Siegal and Dylan Morgan, The Good Place, NBC

Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special: Ava DuVernay and Michael Starrbury, When They See Us, Netflix
Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series, Late Night with Seth Meyers, NBC 

I'm very much excited for tomorrow night. I know that Game of Thornes could take everything, including for best comedy too. But I really think that this year's Emmys will be so hard to see who's going home with a win. Could Julia Louis-Dreyfus win for Veep one last time? Will it be Chernobyl or When They See Us take all the awards? As much as I do think Game of Thrones will win Best  Drama, don't be surprised if This Is Us wins, I think they could be the dark horse that no one believes they could win it.

You can catch the 71st Primetime Emmys Sunday, Sept. 22 at 8/7c on FOX.
