Paulie’s Perspective: 2022 Emmy Nominations

paulieb2003@gmail.com

Ok, so the 2022 Emmy Awards were announced recently. I’m not going to go through them all, because they are quite ridiculous. Best Competition Program, Best Competition Host, blah blah blah. They have a very specific category for every single thing these days, so I’m just going to do the major ones, with the most competition and the highest quality.  So what I am going to do is just simply list these things here and let the rest go by the wayside. The Emmys are on Sept 12, so we have plenty of time to go over everything and see what’s what, and who deserves what. If you guys wish to email me and give your predictions please feel free – my email is at the top, I welcome any and all suggestions and guesses. See ya next week!!
