2015 EMMYS: Game of Thrones Wins Best Drama, Veep Wins Best Comedy!

Viola Davis became the first African-American woman to win the
Lead Actress in a Drama Series Emmy Award

I did pretty well on my predictions of the Top 10 categories. I nailed the two biggest categories, predicting a Veep win  in Best Comedy series and a Game of Thrones win in Best Drama series but then I also did pretty well in the other categories as well, ending with 6 out of 10 correct.

The four I had wrong were all of the supporting actor and supporting actress categories!

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series: Allison Janney, Mom  

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series, Tony Hale, Veep

Outstanding Actor In a Comedy Series: Jeffrey Tambor, Transparent 

Outstanding Actress In A Comedy Series: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series: Uzo Aduba, Orange Is the New Black 

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series: Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones 

Outstanding Actor In A Drama Series: Jon Hamm, Mad Men

Outstanding Actress In A Drama Series: Viola Davis, How to Get Away With Murder

Outstanding Comedy Series: Veep

Outstanding Drama Series: Game of Thrones

It's interesting that Game of Thrones had such a big night, considering that the fifth season is considered by some to be its worst (it definitely had some controversial moments!) its surprising that the show not only won the big enchilada but also won Emmy's for writing and directing (for the Season 5 finale: S5E10 "Mother's Mercy") and Peter Dinklage won his second Emmy for portrying Tyrion Lannister.
