Emmy 2012 - Predictions



The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards are tonight and since it conflicts with a Ravens game, I, unfortunately will not be watching.  I will be recording it to at least watch the intro before going to bed.  Not watching it live will in no way hamper my trying to guess who's going to win tonight.  I'm offering up who I personally think should win the category and who I think will actually win.  Last year was my first attempt at this and I did really bad, so let's see how this one goes.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 1



I was a late convert to Joss Whedon.  My gateway drug was Firefly, and that wasn't even until after the movie had been out for a couple of years.  It just so happened my roommate had the DVD set and one summer I decided to sit down and finally watch something from this Joss guy I'd heard so much about.  I was hooked immediately and have since devoured any new stuff he's put out (except his comics work).  Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible, and just this year The Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers.  Going backwards though, was a more daunting task.  Seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and five seasons of Angel is a lot of episodes.  I finally got the push I needed when two of my favorite TV critics were going to be revisiting the first season of Buffy on their podcast.
