I haven't seen When They See Us, but it's Ava Duvernay, so she's probably going away with quite a few statues, and deservedly so. I did see the documentary on the Exonerated Five from 2012, and that wrecked me. And I loved Sharp Objects and Chernobyl. Both of them were engrossing watches and it was a toss up between the two, and I feel like once I get to When They See Us, I would've had an even harder time making the pick for miniseries.
I wish I thought The Good Place had a chance at winning more awards, and honestly Bill Hader is probably going to win lead in a comedy so they'll most likely walk away with nothing. But they still have one more season, so there's a shot that next year they can win a truckload of Emmys they should've already been nominated for multiple times. Also, how was D'Arcy Carden not nominated for the episode "Janet(s)"? I'm still mad about that. I was torn between Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Phoebe Waller-Bridge for lead in a comedy, but it's Julia Louis-Dreyfus, c'mon.
I kind of don't want Game of Thrones to win any major awards. I only watched the last season and a few episodes here and there, but even I can tell they didn't serve up a satisfying final season, and that their better seasons were well behind them. I also liked other things more than Thrones.
My biggest long shot on this list, because the majority of my picks have at least decent odds, is Documentary Now! beating Saturday Night Live for best variety sketch series. I love Documentary Now! so much, and this season was it's best season yet, but it probably won't win because it is so niche. But I'm imploring everyone to watch it because it is some of the best tv I've seen.
Sorry for the length, didn't mean to go on a rant.
