2016 Primetime Emmy Ballot


Emmy nominations are tomorrow and yet again I am posting my preference ballot in each of the major categories across all three genres for your (but mostly my own) enjoyment. Last year's actual Emmy nominations were pretty decent, so here's hoping that this year's will live up as well. Although, with the sheer amount of television, it seems impossible most of these shows will find away into the elusive club.

Once again, it was a much stronger year for comedy than drama. Overall, it was much harder to narrow down the comedy (and even miniseries) categories, but some of the drama categories required some stretching. But of the many programs I watched that were eligible this year, most of the ones below are ones I would recommend, and even the ones I wouldn't have at least one worthwhile facet that earned them a spot on this ballot.

Below are my personal nominees in most of the major categories in comedy, drama and miniseries/movie. Enjoy!
