What the Oscars are for the movies, the Emmys are for television. And at a time when television has gotten so good, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will undoubtedly have a difficult time choosing the winner. This year's Emmy awards will be given to television series, which aired between 1, June, 2014 and 31, May, 2015. This means one of TV's best period drama "Mad Men" has one last shot at bagging a few Emmys.
While the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Andy Samberg, will take place only on Sunday, 20 September, we give you a list of our winner predictions, along with the list of nominees for Emmys 2015. We've made our predictions after deliberating the popularity of the show and the huge fan presence it has. Our prediction is highlighted in bold.
