Emmy Winner Predictions for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards

After winning my office NCAA basketball pool and placing a decent showing with my 2008 Oscar picks, a reader requested I publish my predictions on the 2008 Emmy Awards. Since I have an abundance of free time and use it by planting my posterior in front of the television, I thought who better than myself could handle this Herculean assignment? Well, since my wife was unavailable the only other logical choice was me! The following are my predictions:

1) Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming Less Than One Hour)

Nominees:

Creature Comforts America Don't Choke To Death, Please CBS Aardman Animations production in association with The Gotham Group

King Of The Hill Death Picks Cotton FOX 20^th Century Fox Television in association with 3 Arts

Entertainment, Deedle-Dee Productions & Judgemental Films

The Simpsons Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind FOX Gracie Films in association with 20th Century Fox

SpongeBob SquarePants Inmates of Summer / Two Faces of Squidward Nickelodeon Nickelodeon with United Plankton Pictures, Inc.

Winner: The most compelling choice here is Robot Chicken. It is hipper, and has created more buzz than the frequently nominated mainstays.

2) Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming One Hour Or More)

Blue Harvest (Family Guy) FOX Fuzzy Door Productions in association with Fox Television Animation Studios

Imaginationland (South Park) Comedy Central Central Productions

Justice League: The New Frontier Warner Bros. on demand Warner Bros. Animation

Winner: Justice League: The New Frontier since it is up against competition the voters may deem too raunchy.

3) Outstanding Art Direction For A Multi-Camera Series

The New Adventures Of Old Christine Between A Rock And A Hard Place, The New Adventures Of Old Christine, House CBS Kari's Logo Here in association with Warner Bros. Television
