My Big Bold 2010 Emmy Award Nomination Predictions

It’s almost time for Awards season again folks. While the majority of the trophy jockeying goes on at the end of the year, a few awards shows happen in the early fall and the first is TV’s big night, The Emmy Awards on August 31st. This year they will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon and the nominations will be announced on Thursday morning, July 8. Expect to see last year’s big winners Mad Men and 30 Rock at the forefront of the nominee pack along with newbies Glee and Modern Family. I’m also expecting a lot of accolades for the final season of Lost. With that said, it’s time for my big bold 2010 Emmy Award Nomination Predictions. Check them out below and let me know your thoughts. (Also, remember the guest actor categories are often full of surprises and exclusions, so I may be a little off there).
