In just a couple hours, the Emmy Awards will be fully underway and we'll get to see our favorite stars from shows likeBreaking Bad,Homeland,Mad Men (Jon Hamm, hello), and30 Rock (R.I.P.) take the stage with the rest of TV royalty. This year has been especially interesting for TV, with the innovation of the Netflix binge-production (House of Cards,Orange Is The New Black) and particularly poignant farewells to cult-inspiring shows (30 Rock, Breaking Bad).
To honor this momentous evening, Intersections decided to put our heads together and try to predict who the winners of the main categories would be. After the Emmys, we'll see how well we did and either give ourselves a pat on the back or turn away from the interwebs in shame. Either way, here it goes.
