2013 Primetime Emmy Ballot.


Emmy nominations come tomorrow and it is time for my yearly tradition of writing up my personal picks so I can be filled with righteous indignation when the Academy disagrees tomorrow. It is truly what keeps the world turning.

Below are my picks in most of the major categories (unless I really didn't feel knowledgeable of enough of the submissions) and a few extras I've decided to include. Winners are pictured and any runner-up is noted in italics. In a few instances, I've gone beyond the official submissions of each show, but sometimes you just have to stick up for what you believe and if I don't defend what is right then who will? Enjoy, if you will.
