Emmy Winners


The Winners are in. I'll get into my thoughts on the whole ceremony soon, but for now, here's the winner's along with whom I thought would win. The winners are in Red and my guesses are bold. So if something is bold and in Red, then I guessed correctly.

Out of the 40 categories, I was correct 11 times. So, I was terrible. But it was a fun show.
