Sheesh! Would the Emmys just get here already?
All right, kittens. We’ve got so many categories left that with the awards being presented the day after tomorrow, my Who Should Win/Who Will Win coverage of the remaining categories will be streamlined. I’m just going to list the names minus the reasons for my choosing that person. If you are curious as to why, hit me up with a comment and I’ll be happy to discuss!
