2015 Emmys: Our hopes and predictions for the biggest night in television
The 67th Annual Primetime Emmys are will air this Sunday and we finally get to see the small screen's biggest and brightest stars in attendance. Who will be crowned victorious for the 2014-15 television season? Here are a few predictions.
Outstanding Drama: This category is anyone's game. Since "Breaking Bad's" reign is now officially over, sadly, "Mad Men" could potentially be back on top of the pack. Because it is the series very last time being nominated, maybe that kind of nostalgia will be enough for the voters to hand them the trophy. Not far behind would be "Game of Thrones." The show is a pop-culture juggernaut and essentially everyone and their mothers watch this show.
Outstanding Comedy: Remember when "Transparent" snagged the win for Best Comedy at the Golden Globes? This doesn't mean they are guaranteed an Emmy win. "Modern Family" has won the category for the past five years, but hopefully "Veep" will finally get the recognition it deserves. Julia Louis-Dreyfus has won the Emmy each year she has been nominated for the show and the show itself is down right hilarious.
Lead Actor in a Drama: Jon Hamm needs this win, hands down. Not having been nominated for Don Draper since 2008, it's time for Hamm to take home the Emmy gold. Plus, now that Bryan Cranston is not around, this is as simple as it gets.
Lead Actress in a Drama: Viola Davis in "How to Get Away With Murder" simply amazing. She is everything you want in a female leading lady. Her character goes from being super tough, to extremely vulnerable in a matter of seconds. Not only that, but her diversity factor brings a new spice to the game, just like fellow Shondaland actor, Kerry Washington.

Lead Actor in a Comedy: Jeffery Tambor in "Transparent" is moving, funny and most certainly timely. This leading man, who is nominated for playing a leading lady, is sure to win over the voters hearts. It also helps that Jim Parsons of "The Big Bang" theory is out of the picture this year.
Lead Actress in a Comedy: Probably the toughest category out of them all. You've got the amazing revival of Valerie Cherish in "The Comeback," played by the hilarious Lisa Kudrow. Next you have President Selina Meyer in "Veep," played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus who will make you cry from laughing so hard. Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope in "Parks and Recreation" who will see her last nom for the show. And Amy Schumer for "Inside Amy Schumer" who has just made us laugh consistently this past year. It is tough, but Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been on a winning streak for a reason, and there's a good chance it will continue into tonight.
