Who Will Prevail




























4 more days to go before the Emmy Awards comes full swing. It may not be as glamorous or as posh as the Academy Awards, but the Emmys are equally as important for TV addicts like me. So in celebration for the upcoming Emmys, I thought I'll list down some of the major categories and give my 2 cents worth..
OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES
This is one of the toughest categories to choose from, all the shows nominated are simply super starting with..

BIG LOVE
This show brings a whole new meaning to polygamy, the acting's amazing and the stigma these Mormons get for believing in something not many are accustom to makes this a contender, as the season goes by the series becomes even more irresistable with the twist around the plot. Though a contender, I doubt that Big Love will take the title, there are too many stronger dramas in the same category. But for me it's about time Big Love is shown some love by getting this nomination.

DEXTER
Ahh to my favorite serial killer in the whole wide world.. I have always been fascinated by serial killers, intrigued by what goes through their minds when they do the deed. How can they act so normal hiding their evilness. Hiding who they truly are seem to be the root of all serial killers, even Dexter. Dexter a serial killer who works with the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood splatter analyst, right down his alley don't you think. The first season blew my mind away with the twist in the end, the 3rd season sees him being friends with Miguel someone he opened up his deep dark secrets too, the storyline gets even more complicated as his girlfriend Rita gets pregnant. Dexter is certainly a strong contender especially with Michael C Hall's convincing performance season after season and might just take home the emmy.

HOUSE
I was keeping my fingers cross that House wins the Emmy last year, the last 2 episodes where Amber dies simply blew my mind away. This season, there are several similarities to Grey's Anatomy with House hallucinating just like Katherine Heigl's Izzie in Grey's. Hugh Laurie's House is beyond a doubt a great actor but the series to win an Emmy this season seems pretty unlikely, but House who has been around for 5 seasons may be just be that oldie that beats the other newbies.

DAMAGES

I have to admit I've never seen an episode of Damages, all I know from the show is that Glenn Close is great and keeps winning award after award for best actress, so I should not be commenting on this, well should the show win, then it might just be reason for me to start following it

MAD MEN

John Hamm, just his name is enough to spell sexy, he is the hottest male specimen to ever hit television. His role as Don Draper exudes mystery and keeps leaving question marks everytime the season ends. Mad Men is the strongest contender to win the award this year, especially after winning it last year on their debut. The drama which potrays advertising men back in the day with lots of smoking and drinking goes way deep especially now since there might not be a CooperSterling anymore. Hats off to Mad Men if they defend their title again this year, cause it surely is a masterpiece.

BREAKING BAD

I have been raving about Breaking Bad like a mad woman but there is no doubt it is personally my best series so far. Bryan Cranston who won best actor in last year's emmy is so good as Walter White and this season Aaron Paul's Jesse Pinkman's role stole my heart away and he is the valve of the show. Cranston who plays a drug maker to help support his failing health cause he has lung cancer and his family is getting backfired now after his wife left him for not being able to get the full truth from her husband. Jesse's vulnerability make this my pick for this year's WINNER, thank you breaking bad for making television look so good.

LOST

After so long being stuck in the island, finally the show is coming full swing as some of them got out of the island only to go back soon after. But this time some questions are answered as well. So one of the questions will Lost blow everyone off by winning the Emmy, the answer is maybe just maybe.. Without a doubt this is the best season so far!
