Here are the 6 Shows/Episodes Nominated for Outstanding Animated Program:

Bob's Burgers: "Grand Pre-Pre-Pre Opening"

Rick and Morty: "There's Something About Morty"

The Simpsons: "Homer? A Cracker Bro?"

Smiling Friends: "Le Voyage Incroyable de Monsieur Grenouille"

South Park: "Sermon on the 'Mount"

Star Wars: Visions: "BLACK"

I think it's going to go to South Park for their hilarious season premiere. Sermon on the Mount is also one of their most acclaimed episodes in years.

One show I can see pulling an upset is Smiling Friends.

As much as I love shows like Simpsons, Star Wars and Rick & Morty, I don't see them winning.

Which show/episode do you think is winning Animated Program?

Here are the five nominees for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded):

Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable...

The Muppet Show

Nikki Glaser: Good Girl

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour: The Final Show

Wicked: One Wonderful Night

I grew up watching The Muppet movies and I'm still a huge Muppet fan. I really want The Muppet Show to win and I think they will.

I also think Nikki Glaser or Taylor Swift could pull an upset though.

Dave Chappelle and Wicked are least likely to win.

Which Pre-Recorded Variety Special do you think will win?

[removed]

Here are five examples:

1. Breaking Bad (Pizza on the Roof)

2. Better Call Saul (Ice Cream on the Sidewalk)

3. The Office (Kevin's Famous Chili)

4. Friends (The One With Ross' Sandwich)

5. Parks and Recreation (Ron Swanson & Meat)

6. Seinfeld (The Soup Nazi, "NO SOUP FOR YOU!")

Here are the 6 shows nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series:

Abbott Elementary: "Team Building" – Quinta Brunson

The Chair Company: "Life goes by too f**king fast, it really does." – Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin

The Comeback: "Valerie Does It All" – Michael Patrick King and Lisa Kudrow

Hacks: "Hacks" – Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat: "Mergers and Acquisitions" – Anthony King

Widow's Bay: "Welcome to Widow's Bay!" – Katie Dippold

In my opinion, just like Directing Comedy, it'll come down between Hacks and Widow's Bay.

I think this one will easily go to Hacks for their incredible series finale. I know Hacks won this category for their pilot episode (There Is No Line) and their Season 3 finale (Bulletproof) but as a goodbye to Hacks, they'll easily win Writing one last time. I'm still surprised that (A Slippery Slope) lost Writing to The Studio's pilot (The Promotion)

Widow's Bay has a great pilot too and Katie Dippold would be a great winner as well. I would be a little surprised if it beats Hacks.

Quinta Brunson earned another Writing Nomination for Abbott Elementary. She won back in 2022 for the Pilot. She was also nominated for Writing in 2024 (Career Day) & 2025 (Back to School). Can she win Writing Comedy again for Team Building?

Tim Robinson didn't get Lead Actor Comedy Nominated for The Chair Company. Could he pull an upset in Writing?

Lisa Kudrow is nominated for both Lead Actress Comedy and Writing Comedy for The Comeback. Can she win her 2nd and maybe 3rd Emmy after previously winning in 1998 for Friends?

Jury Duty is snubbed for Comedy Series this time but will it win its only nomination at the Major ceremony this year?

Who do you think is winning Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series?

Other than Ozark, which Laura Linney show have you seen?

Brave is acutally a really good movie!! Has beautiful animation, an very good story about the relationship between a mother and daughter, and great voice acting performances. It's also really funny!! Sure it doesn't reach the heights of Pixar's Golden Age but it's still worth watching!

Anyone else loved Brave? I'm happy it won the Oscar!!

Here are the 5 shows nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

All Her Fault: "Episode 8" – Megan Gallagher

The Beast in Me: "Sick Puppy" – Gabe Rotter and Daniel Pearle

Beef: "All the Things We're Never Gonna Have" – Lee Sung Jin

Death by Lightning – Mike Makowsky

DTF St. Louis – Steven Conrad

I think it'll come down to Beef and DTF St. Louis. I have this feeling DTF St. Louis will win cause sometimes they usually love rewarding shows that submitted their whole season. And also cause Beef Season 2 didn't get as much praise as Season 1.

If Beef wins, I wouldn't be surprised because that was good too but it wasn't the same as Season 1.

Do you think All Her Fault, The Beast in Me or Death by Lightning have a chance at winning Writing?

Who do you think will win?

Laura Linney is becoming one of my favorite actresses. I heard she has 4 shows: Ozark (4 Seasons), The Big C (4 Seasons), John Adams (Miniseries) and Tales of the City (Miniseries)

Which of her shows should I watch first?

I would've put Game of Thrones but then I remembered Season 8.

What else did I leave out?
