The Emmy Awards 2012 Discussion Thread

Maisee Williams for best supporting actress.

Most seem to be saying Leana Heady will be the one from GoT nominated in this field, but imho, Williams was better, she is so young but is able to not only hold her own, but outshine Charles Dance in some of most intense and riveting scenes I have seen on television. If she isn't nominated, it will be a damn shame and people shall need to be shot for their crimes.

Yeah, I hope she gets a nom atleast. She sure is a precocious talent, and has been incredible in both seasons. It would be awesome if she wins it, but perhaps that might take another year.

Breaking Bad has a very good chance of winning Emmys for both Lead Actor and Supporting Actor. Given how fantastic the latest season of Mad Men has been, the Emmy for Best Drama might still elude Breaking Bad.
