The 67th Primetime Emmy Awards aired a little while back, so I'm curious: what are your own personal awards? You don't have to abide by Emmy categories, so if you wanna pick twenty nominees for "Best Actress Whose Hair Color Reminds Me of My Ex," feel free to. The only restriction is that the content you pick must be from television seasons that had a majority of its episodes aired between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015. If exactly half of the episodes fall into the time period, I would say use it for the next year (I'll make a thread for that later).
Anyway, here are my picks:
