Fotor0825190111

Well the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards are almost upon us! This years list of nominees is an incredible selection of actors and shows. Breaking Bad looks set to take home a few awards for its final season, while new series Orange is the New Black has a good shot at defeating reigning champ Modern Family to take the award for Outstanding Comedy Series. There are so many amazing shows on television at the moment that each category has multiple worthy winners. Correctly choosing the winners takes a little bit of knowledge and a whole lot of luck, as the awards often go to some left-of-field choices. Below is the entire list of nominees for the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards accompanied by the predictions of our own Larry Heath and Alex King. Pick your own personal choices and come back after the awards to see how you did!
