Emmy Awards history could be made this year as "Mad Men" tries for a record fifth win as Best Drama Series.
However, that has gotten more difficult after Gold Derby broke the news that last year's movie/miniseries champ "Downton Abbey" is shifting to this race.
With "Friday Night Lights" gone, there is one guaranteed open slot. The other four nominees from 2011 -- "Boardwalk Empire," "Dexter," "Game of Thrones," and "The Good Wife" -- are all looking to return.
Previous nominee "Breaking Bad" and Golden Globe winner "Homeland" are also strong contenders, as are "American Horror Story," "Luck," and "Smash."
