Around this time of year, we the true fans are at the mercy of a most upsetting occurrence…not the rise of Godzilla but the Emmys. This knife wrecking night stabs our beloved shows and fandoms during the ceremony. We here at The Fandomverse feel your pain but none the less here is a run-down of tonight’s winners followed by our winners and why.
1. Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Winner: Claire Danes from Homeland
A good solid choice to be honest even though her performance in the first season was more Emmy worthy than this one. Besides Ms. Danes has long been the quirky and edgy sweetheart of the TV community since her time on “My So-Called Life”.
The Fandomverse choices: A tie between Kerry Washington for Scandal or Michelle Dockery from Downton Abbey. Both of these shows have huge loyal fandoms. Downton Abbey has long a bit of its traditional fanfare when it introduced more American characters losing its authentic English feel. The women (and yes men) who watch Scandal are uber devoted with celebrities and late night TV shows commenting on the show almost weekly. The storyline, drama and suspense along with the original concept makes it a delight to 25years old + demographic.
2. Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Winner: Jeff Daniels for Newsroom (The Fandomverse backs this win)
He deserves this win without a question. If you dare contest this win then feel free to check the strong but reserved Newsroom fandom. They are witty, large and informed…often cited with arguing with real life news casting. This show is a brilliant example of what good writing, research and perspective could accomplish in TV.
3. Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
Winner: Anna Gunn from Breaking Bad
People are feeling an especial nostalgia for Breaking Bad since it set to end soon. Walt’s wife went through a lot last season so this is an understandable win. We consider this one a last hooray to the show.
The Fandomverse Choice: Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen aka (Daernerys Stormborn or Khalessi or Mother of Dragons).
I mean come on this should have been a no brainer for the academy. Daernerys dealt with everything from betrayal, racism, sexism and slavery last season. Yet like the fire from her children’s breath she rose to meet ever challenge and grow as the clever regal leader she is today. Her metamorphosis into the warrior queen will soon shake the halls of King’s Landing.
4. Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Winner: Bobby Cannavale for Boardwalk Empire.
This show is huge with 25+ male demographic and has a surprising large fandom behind them. The writing and casting for this show is beyond superb which give us here at The Fandomverse no reservation in this choice. This show, which in the beginning many thought would not last a season has proven its grit and worth tenfold.
The Fandomverse Choice: Peter Dinklage for Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion is so made of win there is not parameter for the infinity absurd wit and nerve of this fan favorite. Most of the staff here are at The Fandomverse are huge fans or Tyrion particularly with his handling of his idiotic nephew Joffrey and overbearing father Tywin. We are more than confident he will win an Emmy in the seasons to come.
5. Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series
Winner: Homeland
Yeah just no,….nope… sorry….do not pass go…do not collect two hundred dollars.
The Fandomverse choices: Breaking Bad
Walter became a cold hard killer and start executing people mafia style to save the last bit of his makeshift family all while dealing with his inevitable death due to cancer.
6. Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Winner: Julia Louis-Dreyfus for Veep
Funny, informative and thought provoking. We the audience are emerged into the backstage of large political moves, motives and mishaps. This show invites us to recognize the human face and fallibly of those, we appoint to lead our nations. Besides Julia Dreyfus and her staff have a large meme/ fandom that are very loyal even our own Vice President.
Honorable Mention: Lena Dunham for Girls
Lena Dunham scares the living crap out of TV executives and the academy as a whole. A true representation of the intelligent X generation with talent, resources and real life savvy writing skills to boot. We predict it her genius will need a few years to marinate or the shows fandom will scream so loudly they will have to recognize her genius.
7. Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Jim Parsons for The Big Bang Theory. (The Fandomverse agrees)
Bazinga!!! A well-deserved win for Mr. Parsons who’s Shamy fandom has become the fun and hilarious quoting of the year. Long live Shamy!!
8. Outstanding Directing For a Comedy Series
Winner: Modern Family
Honestly and this is a personal issue…I do not get the appeal of this show. Being an interracial hybrid family is not such a big deal where I come from.
The Fandomverse choice: Louis C.K. for Louie
This man is hilarious and an independent director. Major kudos for not compromising f his vision of what he considers to be funny. He rather start a kickstart to fund his project rather than let advertisers dedicate his show.
9. Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie
Winner: Laura Linney for The Big C Hereafter
The Fandomverse choice: Sigourney Weaver for Political Animals
A short-lived hit that had every fan at the edge of their seat every week. Sigourney the matriarch of her political family invited us into the difficulty of being powerful women, being the partner to a President, and raising a family in the midst of evil influences.
10. Outstanding Costumes for a Series
Winner: The Borgias
We have no complaints…now put down the knife Lucrezia.
The Fandomverse Choice: Once Upon a Time
Regina aka the Evil Regal herself costumes are extravagant enough to win in this category for us.
