“‘The Americans” is probably the biggest competition for “Game of Thrones’ this year because it has been a long-time snub at the Emmys and this was the FX drama’s finest season”, said James Hibberd, editor at large for Entertainment Weekly. HBO’s John Adams mini-series now holds that record at 13, but Game of Thrones has already nabbed 9 Creative Arts Emmys. Mr Robot has worked because of this actor and it’s time he got his due!

Michael O’Connell, Senior Writer of The Hollywood Reporter noted, “It is pretty much a foregone conclusion that Game of Thrones is going to reign supreme on Emmy night”.
“I’m looking for any upset by an underdog that tells me that the integrity of the award is still intact”, O’Neil said. If the show can sweep all five of the main-show categories it’s nominated in (adding to the likelihood of a win are multiple nominations within some of those categories), it’ll have 14 trophies and the record.
Here is all the information for the Emmy Awards 2016 live stream show from ABC.

Download to your Android or Apple device, login and hit “live TV” and you’re off and running. “Anyone who says that is a liar”.
Who should win: Matthew Rhys, “The Americans” – Finally, Rhys gets some well-deserved recognition for his wonderfully nuanced performance in the FX Russian spy drama.

“There is nearly as much drama in the race for best drama actor”, said Gold Derby editor Tom O’Neil. Despite being nominated 10 – yes, 10 – times, Spacey has never actually won an Emmy.
