The Emmy Awards are on ABC this Sunday, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting. I will be there, after taking a year off. Why? This TV season was pretty good, and like you, I have loads of personal faves. I have no idea who will win. But I can tell you who I’d like to see win. This is apart from my being totally obsessed with “Episodes” on Showtime and “Veep,” on HBO, not to mention “Mad Men.” I may also be the last person who continued to watch “Weeds” well after its expiration date. I’m really going to miss it.
Here’s the full list of nominees. The major snub was Kelsey Grammer, from “Boss.” The absolute best written episode of the year, I thought, was “Palestinian Chicken,” from “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” It’s maybe one of the best comedy episodes ever. I’ve bold-faced my choices. Again, totally personal and subjective. I won’t win a pool. (I don’t have room for one anyway.)
Winners from last week’s Creative Emmys are already marked.
