Emmys: My Predictions vs. Winners

The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards were held last night. And to be honest, I didn't do too well. At the Golden Globes and Oscars earlier this year, I got 84% and 79% correct, respectively. But for this year's Emmys, I only got 46% correct, less than half! Oh my!

Here's the list of winners along with my predictions:

Outstanding Drama:
Mad Men
My Prediction:
Mad Men (+)

Outstanding Comedy:
Modern Family
My Prediction:
Modern Family (+)

Actor - Drama:
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights
My Prediction:
Jon Hamm, Mad Men (-)
Nobody expected Kyle Chandler to win, but everyone is so excited and glad over his win, though. So good for him!

Actress - Drama:
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
My Prediction:
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife (+)

Actor - Comedy:
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
My Prediction:
Steve Carell, The Office (-)
Most people were hoping that Steve Carell would win, since it was his last year on The Office.

Actress - Comedy:
Melissa McCarthy, Mike & Molly
My Prediction:
Laura Linney, The Big C (-)
I loved this moment during the Emmys! When the presenters named the first nominee in this category, Amy Poehler, who's name that was, jumped out of her seat and went up to stand on stage. Then each time a nominee was named, each of the women went up and they all stood up in a line. And when Melissa's name was called as the winner, they gave her a bouquet of roses and tiara. Loved it! This was probably THE best moment of the entire show!

Supporting Actor - Drama:
Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
My Prediction:
John Slattery, Mad Men (-)

Supporting Actress - Drama:
Margo Martindale, Justified
My Prediction:
Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire (-)

Supporting Actor - Comedy:
Ty Burrell, Modern Family
My Prediction:
Chris Colfer, Glee (-)
Well, Chris, let's hope you get it at the Golden Globes!

Supporting Actress - Comedy:
Julie Bowen, Modern Family
My Prediction:
Betty White, Hot In Cleveland (-)
I don't think anybody predicted Julie to win. Everyone was saying it would be either Jane Lynch or Betty White. I was so hoping that we would get an acceptance speech by Ms. White - that would have been great.

Guest Actor - Drama:
Paul McCrane, Harry's Law
My Prediction:
Michael J. Fox, The Good Wife (-)

Guest Actress - Drama:
Loretta Devine, Grey's Anatomy
My Prediction:
Loretta Devine, Grey's Anatomy (+)

Guest Actor - Comedy:
Justin Timberlake, Saturday Night Live
My Prediction:
Justin Timberlake, Saturday Night Live (+)

Guest Actress - Comedy:
Gwyneth Paltrow, Glee
My Prediction:
Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live (-)

Reality Competition Program:
The Amazing Race
My Prediction:
The Amazing Race (+)
And this year showed that American Idol will never ever win the Emmy. And it has nothing to do with the new energy in season 10. It's because EP Nigel Lythgoe keeps submitting the same episode each year, which is the season finale. The season finale is basically just an episode where a bunch of guest singers perform. He needs to be choosing competition-type episodes, such as the episode when Casey Abrams was eliminated, then the judges saved him. Now that is drama at its finest!

Reality Program:
Deadliest Catch
My Prediction:
Antiques Roadshow (-)

Reality Host:
Jeff Probst, Survivor
My Prediction:
Jeff Probst, Survivor (+)
Good for you, Jeff! You're the greatest!

Variety, Musical or Comedy Series:
The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
My Prediction:
The Daily Show With Jon Stewart (+)

Variety, Music or Comedy Special:
The Kennedy Center Honors
My Prediction:
The Kennedy Center Honors (+)

Movie or Miniseries:
Downtown Abbey
My Prediction:
Mildred Pierce (-)

Actor - Miniseries or Movie:
Barry Pepper, The Kennedys
My Prediction:
Edgar Ramirez, Carlos (-)

Actress - Miniseries or Movie:
Kate Winslet, Mildred Pierce
My Prediction:
Kate Winslet, Mildred Pierce (+)

Supporting Actor - Miniseries or Movie:
Guy Pearce, Mildred Pierce
My Prediction:
James Woods, Too Big to Fail (-)

Supporting Actress - Miniseries or Movie:
Maggie Smith, Downtown Abbey
My Prediction:
Maggie Smith, Downtown Abbey (+)

Well, I guess better luck next time for me.

America's Got Talent 6 - Finale Week

My recaps/reviews of this week's Top 4 performance episode and Finale of America's Got Talent are now up at OMGWire.com. Below are some excerpts of my commentaries.

Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. - Singer
Song: Frank Sinatra's "My Way"
The opening lines of the song fit the evening perfectly: "And now the end is near / And so I face the final curtain." However, the first half of the performance was not as fitting, not spectacular. Very  boring. Fortunately, though, he was perfectly on form during the final half. Since the song picked up, he was able to really show off his voice. And I loved the final drawn out notes. Since he's a singer, he could very well win, since this show basically only votes singers as its winners. But I'm wondering if the producers purposefully had him perform first, so that a singer wouldn't win.

During Wednesday night's performance episode, some technical difficulties occurred just before Silhouettes was about to perform. Now, we see the backstage video of what really went on. The huge door behind the stage broke down and wouldn't open up, even when the crew tried to manually open it. Finally, they were able to get it, and the show went on.

America's Got Talent 6 - Top 10 Results Show

My recap/review of last night's America's Got Talent results show is now up at OMGWire.com. Below is an excerpt of my commentary.

Up next are Poplyfe and Landon Swank. I guess they're doing everything in two's tonight. As with Team iLuminate, it's a no-brainer here that the illusionist is the only option. But wait...Poplyfe advances to the next round! What?! What just happened? I think this just goes to show that America is so indoctrinated by the million singing competitions on every network that they just vote for singers over the truly talented. Yesterday I said that I didn't think a magician has ever made the finals on AGT. And that will unfortunately hold up this season as well. One of the most talented acts to ever grace the AGT stage in the history of the show has been eliminated.

America's Got Talent 6 - Top 10

My recap/review of last night's Top 10 of America's Got Talent is now up at OMGWire.com. Below is an excerpt of my commentary.

There are usually 12 acts that perform each week. But since there are only 10 this week and the episode is still two hours, that means they have two segments to try to fill up. They start out by showing a filler video of the judges hanging out and chatting with the Top 10 at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

To fill up the final filler spot, last year's AGT winner, Michael Grimm, performs. I wasn't sure about the song at first, because it was a little slow. But as the song went on, it did pick up a bit and Michael really just got into the song and tore it up.

America's Got Talent 6 - Semifinals (Group 2) Results Show

My recap/review of last night's America's Got Talent results show is now up at OMGWire.com. Below is an excerpt of my commentary.

Three acts are called to the stage: Gymkana, Steven Retchless, and Silhouettes. As much as I want to see Steven get a chance to redeem himself, it's going to be Silhouettes. And yes, Silhouettes are in the Top 10!
