The 2015 Emmy Awards: Dream Nominees from SpoilerTV Readers

Share on Reddit



We're just three days away from the announcement of the 2015 Emmy Awards nominations. In the form I opened a few weeks ago, I asked everybody to submit their predictions and dream nominees. A few days ago, I published the results of the predictions (see link below) and now it's time for the dream nominees.

The 2015 Emmy Awards: Predictions by SpoilerTV Readers

Before we head to the nominations, here are again some statistics and notes:
-A total of 43 people submitted their predictions and/or dream nominees. Submissions ranged from completely filled in responses to just one name in just one category.
-Regarding the dream nominees, there was again a lot of confusion over the new Emmy rules. There were also various cases in which actors or actresses were submitted in the wrong category. For example, Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy submitted himself as a Supporting Actor instead of a Lead Actor. Per the rules I set in the form, if a program or performer was submitted in the wrong category, it will not count.
-In addition, several dream nominees were unfortunately not eligible so they cannot be included in the article. Some of the most frequently submitted non-eligible dream nominees are: Sarah Shahi (Person of Interest), Paige Turco (Person of Interest), Eliza Taylor (The 100) and Bob Morley (The 100).
-In some cases, a performer was eligible multiple times in the same category. For example, Aasif Mandvi is eligible as an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama series for both Madam Secretary and Person of Interest. Unfortunately, if the program wasn't mentioned in a submission, I couldn't count it since I wouldn't know for which series you submitted the performer.
-The most dream nominees were submitted in the category Outstanding Drama Series, which had 160 votes in total. Unsurprisingly, the guest acting categories had the least number of submissions.
-The most submitted dream nominee was Person of Interest as Outstanding Drama Series, which had 16 votes.
-The predictions below are sorted by the number of votes. For example, in the category Lead Actor in a Comedy, Jim Parsons had the highest number of votes, followed by Andy Samberg, then Will Forte, after that Adam Scott etc. If two contenders had the same number of votes, they are sorted by alphabetical order. For example, Modern Family, Veep and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt all had 9 votes so they are sorted by alphabetical order.
-In some cases, two (or more) contenders had the same number of votes while there was only one place left in the category. For example, Gina Rodriguez, Tracee Ellis Ross and Zooey Deschanel both had 4 votes for Lead Actress in a Comedy, but including them all would exceed the maximum number of nominees. In these cases, I used random number generator to decide which would be included in the category. The other nominee(s) are considered a 'Top Dream Nominee'.

Now let's get on to the dream nominees.

Comedy


The top shows on the comedy side are Parks and Recreation, which, if it were up to you would get 11 nominations in 7 categories, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (6 nominations in 6 categories), Modern Family (6 nominations in 5 categories) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (5 nominations in 5 categories).
