Starting a little late, so I'll provide my predictions of and reactions to the winners as they're announced.
Female Actor in a Supporting Role
Prediction: Nyong'o, with Lawrence in a close second.
My Vote: Nyong'o.
Verdict: Nyong'o! She's genuinely touched and bewildered.
Verdict: Nyong'o! She's genuinely touched and bewildered.
Male Actor in a Supporting Role
Prediction: Leto.
My Vote: Gandolfini, just ever-so-slightly over Abdi.
Verdict: Leto. Dedicates the award to "the Rayon's of the world" and to the late James Gandolfini! It really is a special performance. Leto's speech is sweeter and much less itchily self-conscious of people's perception of him. If only just a tad recited.
Female Actor in a Comedy Series
Prediction: Going out on a limb with Fey. Maybe one last time?
My Vote: Louis-Dreyfuss, though a write-in for Poehler would be seriously considered.
Verdict: Louis-Dreyfuss! Confuses award with Golden Globe and Oscar. Girl, if only!
Male Actor in a Comedy Series
Prediction: Baldwin, for the same reasons as Fey.
My Vote: Baldwin, both for sentimental reasons and because I prefer him to the other nominees, except for Cheadle who the jury is still out on for me, in terms of the show. Though if Burrell and Modern Family were as strong as they used to be then you would expect to see him.
Verdict: Burrell, thanking "everyone who voted for him" and and co-stars. The cuts to the cast show a lot of proud smiles. Just wish I felt that connection with the show now.
Ensemble in a Comedy Series
Prediction: The Big Bang Theory, officially, but now I'm sure it'll be Modern Family?
My Vote: 30 Rock again for sentimental reasons.
Verdict: It's Modern Family. Vergara gives the speech and thanks everyone, including her boobs. She's handily the best amongst that ensemble.
Female Actor: TV Miniseries/Movie
Prediction: I wanna say Hunter, but I think Moss?
My Vote: Hunter, because I love her.
Verdict: Mirren. Praises Moss during speech. I'm watching this thing tomorrow.
Male Actor: TV Miniseries/Movie
Prediction: Douglas in a walk.
My Vote: I think Douglas? I can never decide who is better between he and Damon.
Verdict: Douglas! It's interesting to think how the Best Actor race would've been effected if it was released theatrically.
Female Actor in a Drama Series
Prediction: Washington, unless they're still riding the Danes wave.
My Vote: Washington, because I'm pretty sure I'm gonna love her show when I get around to watching it.
Verdict: Maggie Smith. I was never aware of people's love for this show.
Male Actor in a Drama Series
Prediction: Cranston, because he doesn't need to be cast as Lex Luthor to conquer the world.
My Vote: I think I'm liking what Spacey is doing on House of Cards from what I've seen, but I can't be quite confident since there's rarely anything to cure me of my allergy, outside of L. A. Confidential and parts of American Beauty.
Verdict: Cranston, which is surprising because people are usually so underwhelmed by him.
Ensemble in a Drama Series
Prediction: Breaking Bad.
My Vote: Anything but Boardwalk would be fine.
Verdict: Breaking Bad.
Male Actor in a Leading Role
Prediction: McConaughey, which should just about seal everything up.
My Vote: McConaughey, but I like the nominees I've seen (which is everyone but Whitaker) about as much.
Verdict: McConaughey, accompanied by a totally gonzo speech that ties into his overarching message to "keep livin'". My mom said he would make a great minister. LOL
Female Actor in a Leading Role
Prediction: Blanchett will somehow emerge victorious, I believe.
My Vote: Without Adams in the lineup, Streep is easily preferable in my eyes.
Verdict: Blanchett, acing her speech yet again. "Matthew McConaughey can talk about Neptune, but I can't get five seconds?"
Ensemble in a Motion Picture
Prediction: Fingers crossed for 12 Years a Slave, but I ultimately see American Hustle taking it.
My Vote: 12 Years a Slave, but I don't think these movies necessarily benefit from their ensembles.
Verdict: American Hustle, which doesn't instill confidence in a steady win for 12 Years a Slave. But I actually think that's a good thing.
