2020 Emmy Nominations: My Bold Predictions

The nominations for the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards will be announced tomorrow (July 28). The presentation will be streamed live at Emmys.com, starting at 11:30 a.m. ET.

An awards show about the best in TV is pretty much my Super Bowl. I love the predictions, the campaigns and the event itself. The show will air in some form (most likely virtually) on Sept. 20 on ABC. That’s less than two months away. Who’s ready?!
