Well here they are. The only category that is really going to make me sleep at night is the big one, Best Drama Series. It seems there are 7 shows that can be nominated but only 6 slots to fill. While most indications suggest Downton Abbey is in, I just can't force myself to take out Game of Thrones (immense pop culture buzz) or Boardwalk Empire (SAG darling). Anyway I have Modern Family as the nominations leader with 17. If these predictions turn out to be correct, drama would be led by Boardwalk Empire with 14 nominations and miniseries/tv movie would be led by Hatfields and McCoys with 14 nominations.
