 We’re not just about the Oscars around here. Being a member of the Broadcast Television Journalists Association, my involvement with the box in my living room runs just as deep. I’ve started updating predictions on the NEW 2013 Emmy Prediction pages with rankings accordingly. Of course, you will champion certain shows and projects but that’s what the comment section is for.
“Mad Men” and “Modern Family” are out in front but don’t expect that to remain for long. Full commentary with the rest of the predictions coming this week. For now, the Series and Lead performer pages are updated accordingly. Take a look.

 The Emmys, even more so than the Oscars, are strangely predictable; once the TV Academy likes a show or actor they continue to nominate them over and over. It’s the reason Mad Men, Modern Family and 30 Rock will be in contention again, and why Mariska Hargitay will never be far from the Emmy spotlight. What then to make of upstarts like Homeland, Downton Abbey, Girls, Revenge, and New Girl? Or overlooked shows like Community? The acting races seem even tighter than usual, especially in the comedy categories with shows like Happy Endings and Parks and Recreation trying to break through in the crowded supporting categories. It’ll be interesting to see what shows and which actors land nominations tomorrow, so without further ado here are my predictions!

 American Horror Story is yet another creative, campy, barrier-pushing, and boundary-breaking new show from the twisted genius that is Ryan Murphy. The highly rated FX television series just wrapped its first season last week, and now it’s time to review the complete show in its entirety after having finally completed all of the inaugural season episodes. I will avoid explicit spoiler details, but I will touch on general events, character arcs, and themes that occur throughout the first season. I want to start off by saying, this show is definitely in line with Ryan Murphy’s other television series. It’s twisted, it’s extremely campy, the characters are flawed yet fascinating, and every frame has a pop to it in visual splendor. Aside from Nip/Tuck, which also had incredibly dark human behavior that only a parent like Sigmund Freud could be proud of, American Horror Story may be Murphy’s greatest creation yet. While Nip/Tuck and Glee were largely praised in their first seasons, the later seasons really took a beating from fans and critics alike. American Horror Story as an entire first season may not have been as consistently wonderful as those former show’s inaugural seasons, but it’s strength lies in its imperfection, ironically enough. The fact that it is so inconsistent with flashes of brilliance means this is an experiment in storytelling I would not mind seeing continued onward. Without spoiling anything, the ending of the first season really makes you wonder where the plot, and the television show, will head in its second season. There are rumors of entirely new casting and different locations, but one thing is for certain — if things do not get consistently weirder, the show will decline.

 In the vapid, nearly transparent mess that television sitcoms have become, one show that has stood above the rest as the freshest and most endearing comedy in quite some time is ABC’s “Modern Family.” In the 30-minute uproar of laughs sitcom, we follow three non-traditional families through their everyday antics and how they deal with them by just being…themselves.
The series stars a wonderful ensemble of authentic, genuine characters: “Married with Children” star Ed O’Neill is Jay Pritchett, the patriarch of the family who is married to Gloria, (played beautifully by the even more beautiful Sofia Vergara) who is very much younger than Jay and just as high-tempered. Gloria has a son, 11-year old Manny (Rico Rodriguez), from a previous marriage. But don’t let the number 11 fool you, Manny is wise beyond his years and effectively just as funny as the next adult. Jay has two children from his ex-wife (played occasionally by the delightful Shelly Long), Claire and Mitchell.
