Watchmen for the episode “This Extraordinary Being” written by Cord Jefferson & Damon LindelofI assumed some of the episode submissions and number of submissions per show. At this stage, I went with safe choices.
ReplyCopy URLI would love it if the Emmy just nominated The Crown, Succession and maybe Ozark in writing (in terms of predictions I’m still very cautious about its chances) and then be sentimental and nominate the finales of The Affair, Homeland and Mr. Robot. Unfortunately the only show the writer’s branch is going to possibly be sentimental about is Homeland.

Jesse Armstrong has already won last year, so I hope they submit more episodes of Succession. Episodes 3-4-5 are Succession at its best.

I know we suddenly have more slots but last time a show receiving both writing and directing nominations yet missing series was in 2011. Either The Outsider and Mindhunter are bigger players than we anticipate or Stranger Things/The Handmaid’s Tale will retain their nominations—of course when the ballots are released we might encounter Succession submitting multiple episodes in writing.

10 nominees for limited series categories is ridiculous when limited series itself is locked at 5
I’m not predicting 10 nominees. After 5 I am listing the 5 next in line.
