The Emmy Awards are coming up on Sunday, and over the next few days, we’re going to take a look at the nominees in major categories, and what should–and will–win.  Today, the Movie/Miniseries section of the awards.  A few notes about these categories.  First, last year DOWNTON ABBEY was in this portion of the awards, […]
