2017 Emmy Predictions
September 18, 2017
See how Joe did:
The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards air Sunday, September 17th, 2017 on CBS. The awards honor the best in television and are the most prestigious award for television. This year, the perennial drama series winner, Game of Thrones, will not be present at the awards due to the 7th season coming out past the deadline. As a result, numerous shows realize that this is their shot to win before Thrones returns to the race next year. Here are my predictions for the 2017 Emmys:
