Vijay tv shows awards 2015 how to#
How to Get Away with Murder, Halt and Catch Fire and The Affair are all worthy of nominations, but sadly are long shots, as is The Good Wife, which, for my money, is still the best show on television. The newcomer to this race is going to be ratings juggernaut Empire, but I have a feeling Emmy voters might overlook it in the series category and instead recognise it with actors. The same goes for Downton Abbey, which is now a straight-up soap opera and has given up any of the trappings of being a serious drama it once had. House of Cards is a shoo-in for some love, but its third season was far too over-the-top and not nearly as interesting as the first two. Game of Thrones’s fifth season was a bit slow and uneven, but just in terms of the spectacle it certainly earned the Emmy attention it will get. The Knick was one of the most daring things on TV this year, and if its soundtrack doesn’t win something, there is no justice in the world. The Americans continues to be a bright spot in the television calendar, though it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Better Call Saul started slow but had an impressive first season, as did The Leftovers.
This is also the last chance to honor Mad Men, and its bow was certainly worthy of scoring a record-breaking fifth Emmy win. Expect for that show to get a nod, even if the third season was a little bit shaky. The best drama category is naturally going to be the most crowded, especially after a rule change that means hour-long shows like Orange is the New Black have to compete in this category.
