Even with TV currently in a new Golden Age, the run-up to the Emmys never quite hits the level of mania that surrounds its big screen equivalent (the Oscars). Even with two months between the nominations (announced today), and the ceremony, there's no frantic rush of televised precursor awards. It's a shame, because as one would expect of a Golden Age of TV, there are quite a few great shows and performances out there.
So, even though it (obviously) counts for nothing, below is what my Emmy ballot would look like for the 2012-2013 TV season. This was made before the nominations were announced this morning, so and none of my picks have been altered to compensate for what I feel were glaring omissions (*cough*Tatiana Maslany*cough*). It's called a dream ballot for a reason.
