If True Detective doesn't get something.. I'll be disappointed.

All my favorite shows are missing and that annoys me highly.

www.goldderby.com/news/6777/bryan-cranston-breaking-bad-matthew-mcconaughey-true-detective-emmys-entertainment-news-4826037159.html
2014 has been a very good year for Bryan Cranston and Matthew McConaughey. Cranston won a Tony award this summer (Best Actor, "All the Way") while McConaughey scored an Oscar win in March (Best Actor, "Dallas Buyers Club"). And now both just netted Emmy nominations as Best Drama Actor.
It's up to the Emmys, then, to determine which of these leading men is the really the best actor. For Cranston, today's nod for "Breaking Bad" marks his sixth nomination for playing meth kingpin Walter White. And McConaughey is nominated for his very first Emmy thanks to his role as troubled detective Rust Cohle on freshman series "True Detective."
If the precursors are any indication, McConaughey has the early lead to win the Emmy thanks to his triumph at the Critics' Choice TV Awards last month. And he's also expected to claim victory over Cranston at the upcoming Television Critics Association kudos on July 19. But the Emmys use a vastly different judging system than the popular vote systems used by the CCTA and TCA, which makes this race truly anyone's game.
At the Emmys, voters are tasked with watching sample episodes for each of the nominees in a given category and then must sign an affidavit claiming they viewed all the submissions. Whichever nominee submits the episode that shows off their range and has the biggest impact on voters has a better chance of winning. Thus, buzz and popularity are usually thrown out the window by Emmy voters in favor of whichever star truly gave the best performance.
While Cranston and McConaughey have gotten the most press this year for their popular roles, they aren't the only men competing for the Drama Lead Actor Emmy. The other four nominees are Kevin Spacey ("House of Cards"), Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), Jeff Daniels ("The Newsroom") and Woody Harrelson ("True Detective").
Will it be Cranston or McConaughey for the win or will one of the other nominees find success?
-----------------------
This Best Drama Actor category is stacked but I feel it is Cranston vs McConaughey like the article states.
So who wins between McConaughey, the 2014 Lead Actor Oscar winner, or Cranston, the 2014 Lead Actor (Play) Tony winner?

William H Macy deserves to win an Emmy Mace has been killing it on Shameless. He, Rossum and Jeremy Allen White are all possible emmy winners at some point for Shameless.

Best Actor is the most stacked award category I think I've ever seen for TV or film. I'd shade it to McConaughey but if it were another year I think every single one of them would win it.

I think True Detective got screwed. It should have been in the miniseries category, like American Horror Story (as it is literally the same deal as AHS, same theme, different storyline each season). Putting McConaughey, Harrelson and Cranston in the same category together probably means they are going to do something stupid, split votes, and the award goes to someone undeserving (how the F*** did Harry from Dumb and Dumber beat Walter White last year???).

BEST COMEDY SERIES
“Orange Is the New Black” (Netflix)
BEST DRAMA SERIES
“True Detective” (HBO)
BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Louis C.K., “Louie” (FX)
BEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES
Taylor Schilling, “Orange Is the New Black” (Netflix)
BEST ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Matthew McConaughey, “True Detective” (HBO)
BEST ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES
Lizzie Caplan, “Masters of Sex” (Showtime)
Still insane to me how Tatiana Maslany and Orphan Black got snubbed out of every category, as well as 'The Americans', 'Hannibal' and 'Broad City'. You also left out all the nominations for TV Movie/Miniseries. I pretty much want Fargo to sweep that, and pray that for Variety show SNL takes all they're up for.

TD elected to go into the series category rather than miniseries, it was a ballsy move by HBO. They're that arrogant.

HBO decided to run True Detective in the Best Drama Series race instead of the Best Mini-Series race so any awards they lose are on them because I have a VERY good feeling McConaughey would have easily won Best TV Movie/Mini-Series Actor (although Thorton in Fargo is stiff competition). I think Fargo would have lost to True Detective but they wanted to try and win the more prestigious category so they are going against the big boys in Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Mad Men, etc. I am happy that this will lead to a lot of Fargo wins in the TV Movie/Mini-Series races but still HBO may be kicking themselves HARD if Breaking Bad sweeps (or at least wins the majority of Best Drama awards) like a some people could see happening.

That's crazy they opted to go that way. More prestigious, yes, but I think TD would have won every miniseries category without blinking

24 stars you didn't know were Emmy nominees: Brad Pitt, Oprah, etc!
While all the focus has been on the Emmy battles between A-listers like Bryan Cranston vs. Matthew McConaughey and Julia Roberts vs. Kathy Bates, a slew of other stars picked up nominations. However, these came in categories that receive less fanfare, most of which will be presented at the Creative Arts Emmys nine days before the primetime telecast on August 25.
Best Documentary/Nonfiction Special, for instance, boasts a stellar line-up of nominated producers, including Oprah Winfrey and Mariel Hemingway (OWN's "Running from Crazy"), Maria Shriver (HBO's "Paycheck to Paycheck: The Life and Times of Katrina Gilbert"), Tom Hanks (CNN's "The Sixties: The Assassination of President Kennedy"), and Whoopi Goldberg (HBO's "Whoopi Goldberg Presents Moms Mabley"). Apart from first-time nominee Hemingway, they're all previous Emmy champs.
We expected Goldberg to be nominated for Best Movie/Mini Actress for Lifetime's "A Day Late and a Dollar Short," but even though she missed out in that category, she has plenty to celebrate. In addition to her Documentary/Nonfiction Special bid, she's also up for Best Narrator for her work on "Moms Mabley."
Goldberg faces several other big stars in the Narrator race, including Oscar and Emmy champ Jeremy Irons (Nat Geo WILD's "Game of Lions") and James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, who picks up his first-ever Emmy bid for another Nat Geo WILD program, "One Life."
"Community" fans have cause to celebrate. Even though the NBC comedy was snubbed in all categories save Best Comedy Stunt Coordination, a pair of its stars earned their first-ever Emmy noms. Jim Rash, a recent Oscar-winner for co-writing "The Descendants," is up for Best Informational Series or Special for producing and hosting Sundance Channel's "The Writers' Room." Joel McHale, meanwhile, is just one of the celebs competing for Best Short-Format Entertainment Program. He contends for "The Soup: True Detective."
To win, he'll have to get past Zach Galifianakis, who is nominated for the second time for his comic talk show "Between Two Ferns." This time he contends for his famous interview with President Barack Obama. Both funnymen will face Grammy-winner Bruno Mars, who is up for the "Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime Show."
Best Short-Format Nonfiction is where you'll find Jerry Seinfeld, nominated for the second time for his online series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," as well as Stanley Tucci and Steve Buscemi (also a surprise Comedy Guest Actor nominee for "Portlandia"), the producers of AOL's "Park Bench with Steve Buscemi," and Jay Leno for "Jay Leno's Garage" on NBC.com. Leno's "Tonight Show" fell out of favor with the TV academy long ago, but he has gotten his revenge in this race, earning several nominations and winning in 2011.
They're all up against actor Tate Donovan, best known for roles in TV series and movies like "Damages" and "Argo." He's a producer on ESPN's "30 for 30 Shorts."
For Best Unstructured Reality Program, acting brothers Mark Wahlberg and Donnie Wahlberg contend for their A&E series "Wahlburgers." It's the first Emmy nod for Donnie, but Mark has been nominated several times before as a producer of "Entourage" and "Boardwalk Empire."
Though Dominic Monaghan was never singled out for his roles in wildly successful, award-winning projects "The Lord of the Rings" or "Lost," he has broken through this year for his own Unstructured Reality Program: BBC America's travel series "Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan."
While most know Kate McKinnon received her first ever Comedy Supporting Actress nomination for "Saturday Night Live," they might not have noticed that she is also in the running for Best Music and Lyrics for co-writing "Home for the Holiday (Twin Bed)" for "SNL." Also among that song's writers is McKinnon's co-star Aidy Bryant.
But it may be tough for them to beat Tony- and Grammy-winning songsmith Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the song "Bigger!" for 2013's Tony telecast. He was also nominated for Music and Lyrics at this year's Daytime Emmys for a "Sesame Street" tune, but he lost that race to Wayne Brady for a song from "Let's Make A Deal."
Another multiple-award-winning musician could add an Emmy to his mantel: T Bone Burnett, Oscar-winner for his "Crazy Heart" song "The Weary Kind" and Grammy-winner for several projects, composed the score for HBO's "True Detective" and is nominated for Best Music Composition. If he wins, it wouldn't quite be an EGOT, but enough for a big EGO.
Last but not least is Brad Pitt. The heartthrob hasn't had much luck winning awards as an actor, but he's doing much better as a producer. After several unsuccessful Oscar bids for his work in front of the camera, he finally won for producing last year's Best Picture champ "12 Years a Slave." Likewise, he lost his only previous Emmy bid -- for a 2002 guest appearance on "Friends" -- but now he's likely to win Best TV Movie as an executive producer of HBO's "The Normal Heart," which means he'll be responsible for the year's best film on both the big and small screens.

So the nominations are out... predictions? Who do you want to win? I think the only one I feel strongly about is that Matthew McConaughey should win best actor. He killed it in True Detective. I think Spacey deserves it too but he can get it for HOC next year. The best drama award is ridiculously stacked this year. Any of True Detective/House of Cards/Breaking Bad/Game of Thrones deserve it imo. Hmmm. I agree Mike its a real tight field this year. Here are my wants if ya like. I wouldn't be able to predict. Best Comedy Series: I would want Veep to win........INCREDIBLY entertaining. Big Bang is officially past it as of last season. I despise that it has became the Penny show and I hate what assh*les they have turned Leonard & Bernadette into. the treatment of Sheldon & Penny & Leonard suggesting that he move apartment in the finale has proved to be massively unpopular amongst the fanbase and they had better address it next year. Best Drama Series: Such a stacked field......NONE deserve to lose except for Mad Men which I have never found entertaining. I give the nod to Breaking Bad here and here's why. It managed an excellent final season and truly thrilling finale. Which is getting to be "a rare bird in the forest of TV". TD was fab.....GOT may have had its best season yet this year and HOC is beyond greatness too. Best Actor in a Comedy Series: Jim Parsons for me all the way. In the increasingly less funny every episode Big Bang? he is the one that keeps it ticking over and keeps so many coming back. Just look at the James Earl Jones episode. Best Actress in a Comedy series: Torn between Julia Louise Dreyfuss and Amy Poehler here.........genuinely cant choose. Taylor Schilling deserves a shout but McCarthy & Dunham can f*ck off. Best Actor in a Drama Series: Mathew McConaughey and its not even close folks......Rusty stole the show in TD a feat made even more impressive by the fact that Harrelson was on TOP form too. Best Actress in a Drama series: I give the nod here to Lizzie Caplan. masters Of Sex was an extremely brave role for her to take and I feel she deserves recognition. I hate Marguiles and Danes is the weakest thing in Homeland and has been since day 1. cant comment on the rest.

Shameless should be winning awards for everything.
One of the greatest shows to grace my TV.

Not sure if anyone watched these last night but man are the Emmy's set in their ways, to a tragic fault.
If American Horror Story is a miniseries, then why isn't True Detective? This is HBO's fault and I think McConaughey and Pizzolatto both got hosed in a bad way. So did Dinklage though. He should have won for the "The Laws of Gods and Men" alone. At least he's already got one. Robin Wright should get to punch someone in the mouth for not winning leading actress. I don't know if that category has ever been so clear cut and then she didn't even win, unreal. I was rooting for Caplan but I have no idea how Wright didn't win.
Listen, I loved Breaking Bad, I thought it was a damn brilliant show and did so many things right, but these award shows need to take into account singular seasons and performances, and weigh it against totality. Cranston and the gang weren't the wrong choice, but Cranston wasn't better than McConaughey, and Cranston needed another Emmy like I need a vasectomy.
The love affair with Modern Family has moved past funny and right into pathetic. That show is total garbage.

I actually watched last night and I'm very happy that "Breaking Bad" won what they did, maybe except for Anna Gunn. I'm not a big fan of her and the "Skylar" character was a good one, but I don't think she gave THAT great of a performance that would warrant her two in a row. They did deserve everything else and it was an awesome send off for the show. With that being said, I thought Seth Meyers wasn't TOO bad, I didn't like that "whoever on the street" gag, that fell flat. "Weird Al" I was happy to see but I think it went over everyone's head. "Modern Family" is a show I've never watched so I don't know how truly funny it is. Jim Parsons winning was cool but I'm tired of the show. There should be a four win limit for "Best Actors" and the like. It gives others a chance. I like how when John Larroquette won four in a row for "Dan Fielding", which he should have because that was a great character, that he withdrew his name for more nominations to give others a chance. That's a classy guy.
I like the Robin Williams memorial as well. All in all, I give the show a 6 out of 10. Nothing bad and nothing too great.

Apart from the mini-series and Allison Janey aren't the winners almost exactly the same from last year? Whatever the case here's to next year when Jon Hamm hopefully gets his long overdue Emmy. Unless he gets the Steve Carrell treatment.

Let's not forget how freaking insane "To'hajiilee" & "Ozymandias" were, that was earth shattering television. All three drama awards were well and truly earned.
Fargo got robbed badly by Sherlock, that was a tragedy.

I honestly think he should have gotten a supporting nod this year for The Normal Heart. I think people are going to see him in True Detective and try and do a 180 on their opinion of him. I'll just be sitting here like:
