2016 Emmy Winner Predictions

Tomorrow dawns the Emmy awards for 2016, so I decided to try and predict the winners that will be announced.  As many of you know, I am more of a movie guy than I am a television guy.  I expect that maybe a quarter of these predictions will be correct, but I will just have to wait and see tomorrow night.  Let me know your predictions if you want via Facebook or you can leave them in the comments below.  I am a bit disappointed that Mozart in the Jungle does not have any big nominations this year, considering it is one of my favorite recent shows.  Maybe the show will return to the spotlight next year though!  Without further ado, here are my predictions:
