The Emmy Awards are airing Sunday evening. I wanted to do a predictions sheet, see how many I would get right. But I quickly discovered that who I thought would win and who I wanted to win are two completely different things (for the most part). So here they are – who I think WILL win, and also who I WANT to win.

I thought I’d watched a LOT of tv last year… but will have to look some of these up. I didn’t watch “Glee” but I would think Toni Collette would win over Lea Michele. And Terry O’Quinn might i/o Martin Short… I always hope Mariska Hargitay wins, but I hope Julianna ties with her. Has Jon Hamm ever won it? So hard to compare “Nurse Jackie” with “Modern Family”. There should be another category: “Best Dark Comedy.” Are you printing off ballots?
