& # 39; Game of Thrones & # 39; or & # 39; Handmaid & # 39; s Tale & # 39; Who will bring back an Emmy?

The rise of Emmy broadcasts is difficult in the era of advanced television, as the volume of broadcasts is matched by the high expectations of voters.

Good is not enough for comedies and dramas, which must echo current political and social ideas. Actors who also perform the act of writing and staging high fly collect more respect and trophies.

Aside from talent, a lavish marketing campaign helps in an overcrowded field: with up to seven or eight nominees in some key categories, about 14% of television academy votes can determine who will get a trophy.

So, is it "Game of Thrones" (with a first 22 leading signs, but most techniques) or "The Handmaid's Tale" for the best drama? Will Donald Glover rehearse as best comedy actor for "Atlanta" or Bill Hader in the first year "Barry" could he be a upset winner?

The arena of comedy is the big unknown: it is largely open with the winner twice "Veep" and his star, the champion of six actresses comedy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Despite such disconcerting factors, we are always ready to predict who will win, and who should, at the ceremony broadcast on NBC at 7pm. Monday, September 17th.

Lynn Elber, author of the television AP, and Mark Kennedy, editor of Entertainment, in the categories of glamor.

Dramatic series

Elber:

Should win: "The tale of the maid". He remains faithful to his inseparable vision of a poisoned society, challenging us to observe or choose blind ignorance. No other show matches its requirements with equal rewards.

Will win: "The story of the maid". For many viewers and voters, there is a bit of zeitgeist.

Kennedy:

Should win: "The tale of the maid". Even though the second season was more brutal than the first, it was way beyond the source material. "Game of Thrones" may have come back to claim his crown with a visually stunning season, but the zeitgeist is indeed firmly in Gilead.

Will win: "The story of the maid".

Comic series

Elber:

Should win: "Atlanta". Author's television at its best, with actor Donald Glover, creator of the series and creative force, winning Emmys last year for having played and directed. But are there enough benchmarks per dramatic moment for voters?

Will win: "Atlanta". While the famous first-year competitor "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel offers a feminine atmosphere and more wisecracks, the series created in the 1950s can not compete with the contemporary side of Atlanta.

Kennedy:

Should win: "Atlanta". The show, led by Glover's Hall of Fame abilities, added audiences and nominations in its second season and gave many Americans a vision in a world they did not know.

Will win: "The wonderful Mrs. Maisel." It's safer, sad to say.

Actor, drama series

Elber:

Should win: Matthew Rhys, "The Americans". Rhys' dark and confrontational portrayal of Soviet spy Mischa, aka American father Philip Jennings, helped found the now-finished series. It's time to pay tribute to him, comrades.

Will win: Sterling K. Brown, "This Is Us". Brown was the only actor in the network's drama series to win last year, with cable and streaming gobbling up all the other prizes. And his loving father is always so affecting.

Kennedy:

Should win: Remember when Jon Hamm of "Mad Men" finally won his Emmy on his eighth and last attempt? How did he crawl on the stage to accept his trophy, by relief and exhaustion? Maybe Rhys will do the same thing this time. He deserves after six brilliant seasons of "The Americans".

Will win: Brown. Emmy voters like to ride a winner – hello, Julia Louis-Dreyfus! – And Brown's brother-father-son, still uncertain, about "This Is Us" is a portrait both humorous and dramatically empathic.

"The Handmaid & # 39; s Tale" and star Elisabeth Moss, left, are both in the running for the Emmys drama. The awards ceremony takes place on Monday, September 17th on NBC.

Actress, drama series

Elber:

Should win: Sandra Oh, "Killing Eve". The nominee five times at the Emmy Awards for "Gray's Anatomy" gives an intense and visceral performance in this female version of a mano-mano hope thriller and shines again.

Will win: Elisabeth Moss, "The tale of the maid". Moss won the trophy last year for his interpretation of an uninterrupted victim, and his nervousness remains magnetic.

Kennedy:

Should win: Keri Russell. No respect for Moss, but she has her Emmy. It's the last chance for Russell, who played a fierce Russian mole as well as a woman and loving mother on "The Americans".

Will win: Moss. In his second season as Offred, there seemed to be less dialogue but his eyes managed to convey horror, anger and resignation all at once.

FX's "Atlanta" and star Donald Glover in the middle are both in the running for Emmys on Monday, September 17th.

Actor, humorous series

Elber:

Should win: William H. Macy, "shamelessly". Macy's erratic and erratic patriarch, Frank Gallagher, must he repair his act or death so that Macy receives the award that he deserves so well and has been denied him four times? Is this a rhetorical question?

Winning: Donald Glover, "Atlanta". He is a master of performance and serio-comic narrative, which gives life to his young character in search of nuances and cliché. Give the man a second Emmy.

Kennedy:

Should win: Agreement. Glover. Macy is a worthy competitor but Bill Hader is too much of a black horse.

Will win: Glover. Totally.

Actress, comic series

Elber:

Should win: Rachel Brosnahan is dazzling as a betrayed wife who finds her voice in spiritual and cathartic diatribes. Brosnahan is the ideal performer for the realism of the creative Amy Sherman-Palladino after "Gilmore Girls".

Will win: Brosnahan. A charmer in the right vehicle.

Kennedy:

Should win: No Louis-Dreyfus this time, then the Emmys will crown a new queen of comedy for the first time in six years. TV mothers Tracee Ellis Ross and Allison Janney have been patient. But Pamela Adlon in "Better Things" is a raw, unwavering and affectionate portrait of a modern and messy man.

Winning: Brosnahan, who offers a winning performance, as a mom, of course.
