We have a great preview of the VERY competitive Primetime Emmys Best Drama race here: http://ow.ly/cXnpP
Will it be “Mad Men,” coming off a great run but not a great fifth season? The brilliant “Breaking Bad,” nearing the end of its story with what many consider its best season yet? Fast-rising newcomers “Homeland” or “Game of Thrones?” Or maybe period gems “Boardwalk Empire” and “Downton Abbey?”
What’s your pick?

EMMYS: Mike Fleming’s Q&A With ‘Boardwalk Empire’ Creator Terence Winter - Deadline.com
Deadline.com’s Mike Fleming has his typical deep Q&A, this time with likely Emmy nominee Terence Winter, the mind behind “Boardwalk Empire” and a multiple winner previously for not just “Boardwalk” but also his work as a writer and producer on another little Jersey show, “The Sopranos.”
Here, Winter explains the anguish he went through in deciding to kill the Jimmy Darmody character (played by Michael Pitt). It was second only to the scene that led to the death of one of the Sopranos’ most interesting characters. Check out the rest of the story here
Deadline TV Editor Nellie Andreeva joins with Michael Ausiello to handicap the very complicated and interesting race for best drama series for the upcoming Emmy Awards.
“Mad Men” has been riding high for years, with four straight wins for best dramatic series, but Nellie and Michael suggest it may be tougher this time around, with stout competition and no sterling episodes such as “The Suitcase” to cinch the award in voters minds.
Meanwhile, “Breaking Bad” continues its mad and brilliant path, and “Homeland” is generating more and more love. “The Good Wife” is probably broadcast TV’s only real hope for even a nomination. To further complicate the race, “Boardwalk Empire” has really hit its stride in its second season, and “Game of Thrones” and “Downton Abbey” are potent contenders. Who will win out?
Check out more of Nellie and Michael’s predictions here at Deadline.com (and our sister publication Awardsline) as we continue our coverage of the run-up to Emmy voting. Tell us what you think about the shows and stars most deserving and most likely to win (they aren’t always the same) Emmys for best drama series this year.
