Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. The Emmys. I don't even get my hopes up anymore for my favorite shows to win or even get nominated. There will always be hideous snubs and abhorrent inclusions, and I have no idea who votes for these things or how anyone can possibly definitively say "this actor is better" or "this show is better." The Emmys are entirely subjective and honestly don't even matter, so why do we care so much about them? I have no idea. With that being said, here are my predictions along with my very biased opinions. Enjoy.

Review: "Please Like Me" (Season 1)
"Please Like Me" is a fantastic Australian comedy created by Josh Thomas, who also stars in and writes every episode. The series begins with Josh getting dumped by his girlfriend Claire (played by Caitlin Stasey) who tells Josh that she thinks he might be gay. Afterwards, Josh goes to his friend Tom (Thomas Ward) at his work and meets Tom's gay new co-worker Geoffrey (Wade Briggs), who ends up having dinner with Josh, Tom, and Tom's somewhat insane girlfriend Niamh (Nikita Leigh-Pritchard). Geoffrey insists on staying the night with Josh, who starts to realize that Claire was right and that he is attracted to Geoffrey. And so, Josh begins the process of coming out and getting comfortable with himself, as well as trying to maintain a working relationship with Geoffrey, which is one of the main focuses in the season. The other focus would be the relationships among Josh and his family, especially between Josh and his mother (Debra Lawrance), who attempts to kill herself in the first episode, prompting Josh to move in with her since she can no longer be alone. Josh's parents are divorced and his father (David Roberts) has found a new wife in Mae (Renee Lim) who moved from Thailand to be with him. Josh's strict, christian Aunt Peg (Judi Farr) has a close relationship with both Josh and his mother after the suicide attempt.
