2017 Primetime Emmy Ballot

Once again, it's time for my yearly primetime Emmy ballot in anticipation of tomorrow's Emmy nominations. This was another great year for comedy series and not for drama despite the fact that a ton of new dramas premiered. It was also a strong year for miniseries and other event series. This year's nominations could either be a pleasant surprise or a mess depending on which of the new shows the Emmys like and how many they are even watching.

Below are my nominee picks in all three genres (comedy, drama, movie/miniseries) in all the major categories with winners in bold. Enjoy.
