EMMY NOMINATIONS PREDICTIONS 2020

Paul Mendoza


It’s been a very strange year and I have not been posting much but as the EMMY nominations are being announced next week I thought it would be a good time to get back in the swing of things and lay out some predictions.
Since I don’t watch comedies, my predictions are only in the Drama categories.
Also, since Watchmen is being entered as a Limited Series, it is not included here. But, I believe that Watchmen will end up winning the most Emmys this year.


So many great shows and performances this year. I admit, these predictions are more what my heart wants than what will probably actually be nominated. It should be interesting seeing a virtual Emmy show this year. Will they have cameras in every nominee’s house in case they win? How will it work? Face time?
