What do you think?
Watch the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Monday, August 25, 2014 at 8ET/5PT on NBC.
I am so happy for the casts of Fargo and The Normal Heart, seeing Martin Freeman's name for Fargo and Sherlock makes me smile and fingers crossed for Matthew McConaughey and the chance for getting the 2ed award towards an EGOT.
So much talent, I can hardly stand it! So, so, so happy for the names that you mentioned as well! Can't wait for Emmys night!!!
