60th Annual Primetime Emmy Predictions
OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES
Nominees: Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, House, Lost, Mad Men
Should Win and Will Win: Mad Men
That this season has lost a bit of its luster and is more must-TiVo than must-see is irrelevant. Last season, Mad Men’s first, stood out from every single other series, and it didn't even require some grand, convoluted concept (i.e., Lost, Dexter)--in fact, Mad Men's plot is rather simple. Is Lost the more exciting show? By a mile, but Emmy voters are not Comic-Con fanboys--they're people who were around during Mad Men's time period and can further vouch for its authenticity the nostalgia it evokes. Actually, voters probably account for half the show's viewership!
