My thoughts:

 

Drama Series - Glad to see GOT in Drama. Actually I think I agree with all the nominations here. Boardwalk will probably win.

 

Comdey Series - Modern Family is probably my favorite and should win.

 

Lead Actor In A Drama Series - Ok no Sean Bean... but when I look at the other nominees I am not sure who I would bunt to get him in there. I think John Hamm will walk away with the win, but I secretly hope Chandler or Olyphant should win.

 

Lead Actress In A Drama Series - Eh... not sure I agree with all these.

 

Supporting Actor In A Drama Series - Goggins is who I think should win.

 

Supporting Actress In A Drama Series - HANDS DOWN the winner should be Margo. This is like when Lithgow was nominated for Dexter... she nailed the role of Mags. This is the only category I strongly believe in a nominee and would be disappointed to see her lose.

 

Lead Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie - McGovern was awesome in Downton Abbey... if you missed this show it is streaming on netflix and gets a high recommend from me.

I'm hoping Kyle Chandler and Peter Dinklage wins. The Mad Men guys can take a break from winning this year. ^^

Hopefully GOT wins its two nominated categories, otherwise I don't care.
