TV geeks battle for Emmy glory

Get the snacks and a scorecard ready for the 2019 Emmy Awards.

As TV academy voters honor what they consider the small-screen鈥檚 best, viewers joined in by tallying up wins, snubs and records during the no-host, three-hour ceremony which aired on Sunday at 8pm (US time) on Fox.

The reward for TV geeks whose predictions pan out at the 71st annual Emmy Awards: no trophy, but bragging rights.

There鈥檚 also the fun of cheering your favorites and rooting against their competitors. Conflicted feelings may loom for 鈥淕ame of Thrones鈥 fans who loved the series, hated its finale. HBO鈥檚 fantasy saga headed into the ceremony with a record 32 nominations, collecting 10 awards at last weekend鈥檚 creative arts ceremony for technical and other achievements.

鈥淭he Marvelous Mrs Maisel鈥 is defending the top comedy award it captured last year, when three-time winner 鈥淰eep鈥 was on hiatus.

As with 鈥淕ame of Thrones,鈥 the political satire is entered for its final season and could benefit from voter sentiment as well as evident respect.

Same goes for 鈥淰eep鈥 star Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Her potential seventh Emmy for the show would combine with two others she鈥檚 won to make her the most-honored performer in Emmy history.

鈥淕ame of Thrones鈥 is competing in six categories besides the best drama, including directing, writing and acting.
