The nominations for the 2019 Emmy Awards were announced Tuesday and the Internet was filled with stars reacting to their nominations and fans coming through the woodwork to throw their support at their favorites.
Everyone has their own predictions of actors and shows they want to win. Looking at the nominations, it is hard to pick just one from each category, as everyone on that list deserves the recognition and praise. Some I want to see win more than others, as they have gone under the radar and they finally deserve some spotlight.
In some categories, if not most, I want so many nominees to win that in any outcome, I'll be happy. And even still, there are some nominees that I choose based on just their name or what show they're on or even if it's just a random pick because I haven't watched anything from that category.
Without further ado, here are my predictions for the 2019 Emmy Awards
1. Outstanding Comedy Series
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
2. Outstanding Drama Series
Game of Thrones. Even though the last season was not the best, overall, it was still a great show.

Good Omens. Of course, I'm going to hope that Good Omens wins all 3 of the categories it's in. The other two categories are Fantasy and Sci-Fi Costumes and Title Theme Music. I mean, have you listened to the Good Omens Opening Theme? It's amazing. Listen to it Here.
There are obviously a lot of nominees and some with multiple nominations, so they have multiple chances to win. Looking through the list, it was hard to choose for my predictions, as there are so many deserving actors, actresses, directors, writers, and shows. I do have my favorites, but of course, everyone is someone's favorite.
Award shows are always bittersweet because, on one hand, your favorite might win and take home the trophy. But, on the other hand, that still leaves several others going home empty-handed. I don't want to sound too much like a soccer mom, but I believe that getting nominated for an Emmy-- or any award-- already makes you a winner. They can only pick so many nominees to begin with anyway.
Whoever wins or loses at the Emmy's (September 22, 2019, 8 p.m. EST), they're all winners.
