ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY AND AWARD NEWS  JULY 12, 2019 And the Emmy Nominees Will Be... Expect to see a lot of love for a pair of beloved HBO series taking their final victory laps, Game of Thrones and Veep, when the 71st annual Emmy Awards are handed out on Fox on September 22. But there are also several categories at this year’s Emmys that our expert prognosticators believe might get shaken up come nomination day, from lead actor in a drama (where it might finally be Bob Odenkirk’s year) to comedy series (which may make room for a few promising newcomers). And of course, the limited series/TV movie categories, as always, promise to be a bloodbath, thanks to an embarrassment of riches from the likes of Chernobyl, Fosse/Verdon, Escape at Dannemora, The Act, Deadwood, and True Detective. Want a more detailed breakdown of who V.F. believes will walk away happy once Emmy nominations are announced? Look here to find our best guesses.
