Predicting Emmy winners is a dubious activity. You try to block out last year's sigh-worthy selections (James Spader — again?) and hope that, for once, all the winners will be fresh and deserving. But, alas, the annual insanity never stops. Still, here is my quick take on who will win during this year's ceremony, which airs Sunday at 8 p.m. on Channel 5.
