Jane Krakowski, no doubt. The omission of Louie is pretty bad too.

Worst set of nominees in one category?

I would like to say Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.  I don't know how Merritt Weaver and Blossom got in over more worthy contenders.

I love both Wever's and Bialik's nominations. But snubbing Jane Krakowski is unforgivable.

Obama

Most competitive category and best chance for an upset win?

I think perhaps Drama Series has the best chance for an upset with almost any of them standing a reasonable chance of winning.  

Is this the last year Julianna Margulies will get nominated for The Good Wife?

Hopefully, yes.

On a scale of 1-10, how crappy are the Emmy nominations?

More like a 3. Overall I thought these were really very spot-on, yes a few omissions and one or two questionable inclusions, but overall they got the bulk of it right.

If "The Good Wife" is done in Drama Series from now on, is there a single network drama airing right now with potential to take that spot?

I don't think they're done with "The Good Wife" yet in drama series. This was just a crazy competitive year. I'll be optimistic and think that they can bounce back next season.

Unless a new series comes along that's both a critical and commercial juggernaut, I don't see that "network" slot being taken by any other show. Cable is too dominant right now, and for good reason. It also depends on what you consider PBS to be, though it's not the big four. There was a time when I thought that "Smash" could be that show, but now I know that's so not the case.   

Is there any category that you'd like to see a tie take place in? Name the category and explain why.

No, I don't like ties. Let's have just one winner.

After Barry Pepper's win last year I wouldn't count out anyone here. They all have a shot, since voters don't watch the submitted work.
But I would put my money on Cumberbatch.

How many of its countless nominations will AHS actually win?
And if you wanna make sense

I'm thinking maybe two. Definetly Jessica Lange, and maybe one other.

Which category has the worst nominations this year?

Besides Jessica Lange, I think "American Horror Story" can at least win Main Title Design and maybe Hairstyling. They'll likely lose a lot to "Hatfields & McCoys." They are against each other in just about every category. Some tech categories might be possible too. 

I don't think there's a worst category this year. Just a couple of categories with major snubs in them, but then some of the replacements are people I've wanted to see nodded for years. Some of the supporting categories are wonky this year though, so I'll go with that.

Favorite Emmy host and why?

I loved the year Ellen DeGenres hosted the first time after 9/11.  She just did a sensastional job.

Which of the current nominees do you most consider to be nothing more than "Filler" and in need of not being nominated again?
