Normally I would not make my preview, predictions or wishlists about the TV Movie/Miniseries categories for the 2014 Emmy Nominations, but then I watched Fargo and I decided I would cover this field because I loved Fargo so much. But then I realized that I watched hardly any other miniseries, and the only TV movie I watched was probably Sharknado. So instead of a full wishlist, I’m just going to run through all the actors from Fargo I’d like to see nominated:
The You Betcha’s:
-Allison Tolman
-Martin Freeman
-Billy Bob Thornton
-Bob Odenkirik
The Almost You Betcha’s:
-Keith Carradine
-Colin Hanks
-Keegan-Michael Key/Jordan Peele
I am not going to bother with predictions too much, because there are a number of contenders here that I am not familiar enough with, so I’ll just predict who’s likely to be nominated from Fargo and the one other miniseries I watched this season: American Horror Story: Coven, which wasn’t very good, though the acting was fine-to-great. (As for TV movies, The Normal Heart will probably have a strong showing.)
Probable Nominees From Fargo:
-Billy Bob Thornton
-Allison Tolman
-Martin Freeman
Probable Nominees From American Horror Story: Coven:
-Jessica Lange
-Sarah Paulson
Possible Nominees From Fargo:
-Bob Odenkirk
-Colin Hanks
-Keith Carradine
-Oliver Platt
Possible Nominees From American Horror Story: Coven:
-Kathy Bates
-Angela Bassett
-Frances Conroy
