With the Emmy nominations coming up on July 18, I am posting predictions and analysis of each of the top categories. Today I'm posting two categories.
Here are my predictions and analysis for:
SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A MINISERIES OR MOVIE
JAMES CROMWELL as Dr. Arthur Arden in AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM
A seasoned actor, Cromwell's role on American Horror Story this season was pretty one-demensional (evil doctor used to be a Nazi!) but he still turned in a great performance. There aren't a lot of big contenders in this category, so a well-known actor like Cromwell on such a high-profile series should easily be able to get into this category. He also may be one of the leading contenders to win, which wouldn't upset me but I doubt he would be a top contender in any other year.
