When you’re done here, be sure to check out my and Clarence’s predictions in Drama, Comedy, Movie/Miniseries and Reality/Variety/Animation. When all the crying is finished tomorrow, maybe we’ll tally things up, decide who got the most right and proclaim them Lord God Emperor of the Emmys. Or maybe we’ll all just go out for Scotch and pancakes. Either way, read on for Megan and Joey’s picks!
