Here is my first stab at predicting the winner's of this year's Emmys. All of the predictions for the technical categories will stay the same from update to update for the most part. In the top categories, though, things will change. We barely know any of the tapes the top contenders are submitting so predicting them will be tough. That being said the Best Drama Series category seems to be between 4-time defending champ Mad Men, last year's miniseries/movie champ Downton Abbey, and the critics' favorite Breaking Bad. In comedy series, the race is between Modern Family and any show that can submit perfectly. In miniseries/movie, it's between Game Change and Hatfields and McCoys.
