2012 Emmy Predictions: The TV Movie/Miniseries Categories
We already took on the comedy categories and the drama categories, so now comes time for TV movie/miniseries (and then check back tomorrow morning for the nominations themselves).
This increasingly star-studded group of categories could find themselves looking more like the Oscar nominations than the actual Oscar nominations did this year, with the likes of Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Ellen Burstyn, Ed Harris, Woody Harrelson, Emily Watson, Clive Owen, Robert Duvall, Rachel Weisz, Judy Davis, Patricia Clarkson and Ralph Fiennes -- each and every one of them either Academy Award winners or nominees -- looking like potential acting nominees.
Overall, HBO's one-two punch of "Game Change" and "Hemingway & Gellhorn" (collectively featuring almost the entire cast of Stephen Daldry's "The Hours") look like the two to beat, though as always watch out for British imports, this year by way of "Great Expectations," "Luther," "The Hour" and "Sherlock," among others.

I think you made a mistake there... Jessica Lange submitted in the Supporting Actress category.

Yes, I love how the predictions are updated (like Downton being in the drama category).. However, the supporting/lead acting merges don't happen until 2013. Otherwise it was a good year for miniseries or televisual movies.

Dude, the Mini-Series/TV Movie actor merger isn't happening until 2013

I loved Great Expectations, though I'm not sure if I agree with your placement of Gillian Anderson and Ray Winstone. I liked Winstone and absolutely loved Anderson to the extent that I think she deserves an Emmy for her work. The issue is that neither of them was the lead anything in the miniseries. They both deserve consideration for their respective Supporting category instead. Anderson should win.

I really liked Birdsong. Joseph Mawle is such a brilliant actor. I think he should be on the list too :D
Sharlene | March 17, 2012 2:11 AM
GILLIAN ANDERSON!!!! love her

I agree with the ones who posted comments before me, itâs really nice to see Gillian on a list like this. Her portrayal of Miss Havisham was truly dramatic, haunting and incredibly touching at the same time, Iâd be so happy if she won an Emmy for this role.

I love Gillian Anderson!!!
ola | March 13, 2012 4:34 PM
Gillian rocks as Miss Havisham!
