8 hours ago
Nine years ago, "Arrested Development" made a name for itself at the Emmys by claiming victory as Best Comedy Series for its little-watched first season. Will magic strike again for the Bluth clan this year? While none of Gold Derby's experts are predicting the show to win the top Emmy, three editors (Chris Beachum, Matt Noble and me) think it'll prevail. Related: Will Jessica Walter follow in Megan Mullaly's boozy Emmy footsteps The show has odds of 9/1, which puts it in fifth place behind reigning champ "Modern Family," ratings juggernaut "The Big Bang Theory," critical darling "Girls" and three-time winner "30 Rock."

Will airing new episodes in June give 'Veep' another Emmy boost?
17 hours ago
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but that isn't usually the case at entertainment awards, where contenders usually prefer to be the last impression left on voters before they fill out their ballots. That may be how "Veep" and "Girls" both scored surprise nominations for Best Comedy Series in 2012. Both shows were still airing new episodes in mid-June, right in the middle of the voting period for nominations. Compare that to "Louie," which was widely expected to break through in that race, but didn't. "Louie" had aired its new episodes the previous summer, long before the Emmy voting took place. Was it a case of out of sight, out of mind? "Veep" is currently in seventh place in our Best Comedy Series predictions, and if those hold true it means the political satire will just miss out on a nomination. Instead, our predictors are currently betting on "Modern Family, »

20 hours ago
Alec Baldwin leads the Comedy Actor race at this year's Emmys for the final season of "30 Rock." But will his support stay strong in the light of that meltdown last week which saw him hurling homophobic remarks via Twitter at a journalist who erroneously reported that Baldwin's wife was tweeting from James Gandolfini's funeral? Seven of our experts are predicting the actor to prevail for the third time for his role as Jack Donaghy on the NBC laffer that signed off in January. Those backing his bid are: Robert Bianco (USA Today,) John Kubicek (Buddy TV), Daniel Manu (TV Without Pity), Tom O'Neil (Gold Derby), Sasha Stone (Awards Daily), Ken Tucker and Glenn Whipp (La Times).

Now you can explain your award predictions at Gold Derby
30 June 2013 8:36 PM, PDT
A new feature at Gold Derby invites users to do more than just list their Emmy/ Oscar/ Grammy predictions in each award category. They can now add text to explain their thinking. See images above. Notice the text block at left at the bottom of my list of projected Emmy nominees for Best Comedy Actress. Recently, I changed my pick to Tina Fey ("30 Rock") so I explain my rationale: "Tina Fey is a proven winner in this category (2008) and now has a strong advantage if she gives Emmy judges the final episode of '30 Rock.' It's one-hour long and full of heart-tugging scenes. Other stars have won for the final episode of their shows -- like Sarah Jessica Parker ('Sex and the City')." I inputted the text in the new box you can find at the bottom of a typical prediction box (image at right, above) while »
