Our Emmys 2018 predictions: who should win, who will win, and who got snubbed by Carrie Wittmer on Sep 13, 2018, 11:45 AM  The Emmys air on Monday night, and there is some tough competition this year, making it hard to decide who should win in every category.
But it's easier to figure out who will win, based on precedent and buzz. "The Handmaid's Tale," which won best drama last year, is a favorite to win across all major categories from best drama to best supporting actress. But it could lose in multiple categories to "Game of Thrones," which wasn't in the running for last year's awards. But both of those shows should lose to "The Americans," which had an impeccable final season and has never won, though it's deserved all of the drama Emmys for years. There's also tight competition among the limited series categories, with incredible shows including "The Assassination of Gianni Versace," "Godless," and "Patrick Melrose," which are all deserving of every award they're up for on Monday night. We put together a list of our Emmy predictions, along with who we think should win. We also threw in who got snubbed. So if you're excited to see the best contenders among all the nominees this year, look no further. The Emmys, hosted by "SNL's" Colin Jost and Michael Che, air Monday, September 17 on NBC. Here's our list of who will win the Emmys, and who should: SEE ALSO: The 2018 Emmy nominees have been announced, with 'Game of Thrones' and Netflix leading the pack DRAMA SERIES  The nominees: "The Americans" "The Crown" "Game of Thrones" "The Handmaid's Tale" "Stranger Things" "This Is Us" "Westworld" What will win: "Game of Thrones." Despite its accelerated and lackluster seventh season in 2017, "Game of Thrones" still delivered some excellent episodes and mind-blowing sequences, such as the battle at the end of "The Spoils of War." 2017 Emmy winner "The Handmaid's Tale" had a sophomore slump and just wasn't as popular, so a win for a show on the scale of "Game of Thrones" is probably inevitable. What should win: "The Americans." Its sixth and final season was perfect and eloquently marked the end of television's Golden Age. We're just glad it was nominated after years and years of snubs, though it absolutely deserves the win in this category. Unfortunately this is the second time the show is nominated in the best drama category, so it doesn't have much of a chance: it's more of a sympathy nomination that's been building for years. What was snubbed: "Halt and Catch Fire." Sadly, the four-season AMC series, one of the best dramas to come out of the Golden Age (like "The Americans"), wasn't nominated for anything and flew under the radar for the majority of its run.
COMEDY SERIES  The nominees: "Atlanta" "Barry" "Black-ish" "Curb Your Enthusiasm" "Glow" "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" "Silicon Valley" "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" What will win: "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." This would be a surprising win over defending champ "Atlanta," but it swept the Golden Globes and is lauded by critics. It was basically made for awards season, but not in a bad way. What should win: "Atlanta." Season two broke boundaries, even for this show's standards, and it absolutely deserves Emmy number two. What was snubbed: "The Good Place." Albeit in a very different way than FX's "Atlanta," NBC's "The Good Place" is groundbreaking comedy that has completely transformed what a network comedy can be. It should be a frontrunner, but didn't even get a nomination.
LIMITED SERIES  The nominees: "The Alienist" "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" "Genius: Picasso" "Godless" "Patrick Melrose" Who will win: "The Assassination of Gianni Versace." The Emmys love Ryan Murphy content, and if "the People vs OJ Simpson" is any indication, the second season of "American Crime Story" will sweep the awards this year. And it deserves the win for its unique take on the story of a serial killer that focuses on the victims, not just the monster. Who should win: "Godless." By embracing every cliche about westerns, "Godless" was somehow something truly unique, bolstered by an incredible cast including Michelle Dockery, Jeff Daniels, and Meritt Weaver (all nominees). We also wouldn't be upset if "Patrick Melrose" wins. Who was snubbed: "The Terror." It is an absolute shame that the best television show of 2018 wasn't nominated in any category. "The Terror" is revolutionary television in so many ways. It deserved better, and should have been an absolute shoe-in for a nomination and the win. Netflix's "American Vandal" deserved a nomination as well for its biting commentary on the true crime obsessed culture.
