You ready? Cause I kinda not.
Jeff Daniels as Will McAvoy (The Newsroom)
Last year's winner. This year's in Dumb and Dumber To. Last season of The Newsroom was stellar although not for the critics. Last year's win was an upset for Cranston and this year sees Daniels in a very slim chance of winning his second.
Jon Hamm as Don Draper (Mad Men)
Seven seasons, zero Emmys. It's about time Jon Hamm win the statue but looking at this year's rivals, not today Don. Thank goodness the final season of Mad Men is given the TV version of Deathly Hallows--split into two parts. His last chance is next year.
Woody Harrelson as Martin Hart (True Detective)
In this year's amazing debut, True Detective is making the critics and audience crazy. First season and they have the duo from Surfer Dude? I mean, the most underrated actor in Hollywood Woody Harrelson is on TV? It should be a win, if not because of his having-the-time-of-his-life costar.
Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood (House of Cards)
If this were a House of Cards world, then Frank Underwood--I mean, Kevin Spacey would've won. Netflix got one of their two gems multiple-nominated for Emmys and Kevin Spacey has always been the driving force behind Netflix's rising dominance. I wished he would win but the competition, man.
Bryan Cranston as Walter White (Breaking Bad)
Last year was BB's last season and BEST season. Not only it's great to see the legendary show honored with Cranston's win, but Cranston truly deserved it as well. It's time to remember his name properly by giving him an award.
Matthew McConaughey as Rust Cohle (True Detective)
And this is the big boy. Other networks were protesting HBO's decision to submit True Detective as Drama series, which means less chance for those equally great shows to win--because admit it, True Detective was crazy amazing. And this ACADEMY-AWARD WINNING ACTOR is the lead, and it's not just a cash-in performance, it was an ACADEMY-AWARD WORTHY performance. Even in my opinion, it's better than his turn in Dallas Buyers Club. This is your winner people, and if he's not, then lemme replay that Charlton Heston cameo scene from Tim Burton's remake just to say: damn them, damn them all to hell!
Well in my opinion it's just down to three: SPACEY VS. CRANSTON VS. MCCONAUGHEY
There are one name that's missing in the amazing entry of men above though: the Master in Masters of Sex, Martin Sheen as William Masters. Also there are many noteworthy Emmy rivalry this year, but not as crazy as the men above. Take a look at some of these below
PAUL VS. DINKLAGE
I wished Aaron Paul would win, but it's just impossible to beat Peter Dinklage.
GUNN VS. HEADEY
Anna Gunn all the way even though Lena Headey is so good as the Lannister bitch.
OITNB THREESOME CLASH
It's Nicky vs. Crazy Eyes vs. Sophia. I'll bet my normal eyes for Crazy Eyes.
CUMBERBATCH VS. FREEMAN
I don't know who's gonna win because I haven't seen Fargo yet. But it's fun seeing this.
THE NORMAL HEART DUDE-FOURSOME VS. FREEMAN
Although it has Matt Bomer and Jim Parsons among them, they said The Normal Heart is an obvious awards-bait. But Martin Freeman in Sherlock is just pure quality.
It's so crazy that even the Emmys could be this crazy. Five years ago no one would've paid attention to all the fuss on TV because movies were way better. But now, whoa.
