A NOTE FROM SCOTT: The nominations round of Primetime Emmys voting will kick off this Thursday, June 11, and run for 11 days thereafter, through Monday, June 22. Then, things will go quiet until the nominees are announced on Wednesday, July 8.
Below, in the aftermath of the Gotham TV Awards, the Newport Beach TV Fest and a flurry of other last-minute FYC campaigning, is my latest read of 35 categories encompassing programs — narrative, nonfiction, variety, reality and animation — as well as performances, hosting and casting.
PLEASE REMEMBER: These forecasts do not necessarily reflect my personal preferences. My aim is not to advocate for what I think the members of the Television Academy should do, but rather to project what they will do.
