Fall First Look: The Truth About Love by Pink/The Origin of Love by Mika

September 18th should be a Lovely day! Two well respected pop musicians will be releasing their next albums, both with the word Love in the title (add in Carly Rae Jepsen's Kiss and it's a very romantic day for music!), and I've got the exclusive scoop on both albums. After seeing success with two new tracks of her Greatest Hits album (Raise Your Glass and Perfect), Pink claimed her place as one of pop music's leading ladies when she released her newest single Blow Me (One Last Kiss) in early July. The song peaked at #9 on the charts and is still going strong as anticipation for Pink's sixth studio album builds. After only having three original songs on her Greatest Hits album, Pink is giving fans a whole lotta new music this time around. With thirteen tracks on the regular album, the delxue edition adds four more originals, but the iTunes delxue edition is the real steal, with two more tracks, adding up to nineteen songs! Pink worked with all-star producers Max Martin, Shellback, and Greg Kurstin. Additionally, Pink has announced three collaborations on this album: Just Give Me a Reason with fun. frontman Nate Reuss, True Love featuring Lily Allen, and, most surprising of all, Here Comes the Weekend, a collab with Eminem! With this new album, Pink can easily climb back to the top of the music charts.
On a slightly different path, Mika will release his third album, The Origin of Love. He has stated in interviews that the album will be "less child-like and more serious," and "more simplistic pop, less layered than the last one." In June, he released Celebrate, the first single off the album, which features Pharell Williams, who is not the only artist lending a hand on this album. It has been confirmed that Billboard, Hillary Lindsey, British import Ellie Goulding, Benny Benassi, Martin Solveig and Greg Wells are all involved with the album (I know I'm certainly interested to see if Ellie Goulding is working as a writer, producer, or guest vocalist). Mika's dedicated fans should definitely be pumped for this new release! Let me know in the comments section which album you are most excited for! In the meantime, check out the first singles from each new album below:

Fall First Look: American Horror Story - Asylum

Every once in a while, a TV show comes around that inspires heated conversation: What the hell kind of a show is this? Who thought of this idea? Do you love it or do you love to hate it? Easily, last October, FX's new drama American Horror Story became the latest watercooler topic, twisting minds and storylines every episode. It wasn't afraid to play mindgames and tease its' audience. Some called it bad, others called it genius. Either way, Entertainment Weekly still called it "the most twisted, terrifying series you've ever seen," and that's quite a title to hold. Yet there is still much speculation when it comes to the next season of the show. See, it's hard to define the next season as a "season," per say. Earlier this year, AHS creator Ryan Murphy argued that his series could be defined as a mini-series for Emmy contention, an argument he (to the chagrin of some viewers) won. Seventeen Emmy nominations later, AHS became one of this season's most decorated shows. Murphy's argument for considering AHS a mini-series is that each season of the show will have a completely different storyline, with completely new characters, but some of the same actors will continue on the show. And in case you haven't heard, this season gets a new title: American Horror Story - Asylum. So what is there to know about this season of AHS? Well, you've definitely seen the last of Dylan McDermott, Connie Britton, and Taissa Farmiga, who played the sexually twisted Harmon family last year. But there are still plenty of familiar faces sticking around: American Horror Story MVP Jessica Lange, my personal favorite Evan Peters, Zachary Quinto, Lily Rabe, and Sarah Paulson. In addition, a plethora of new faces are joining this season: Maroon 5 leading man Adam Levine (in his debut acting role), Jenna Dewan (Mrs. Channing Tatum), Lizzie Brochere, James Cromwell, Chloe Sevigny, Joseph Fiennes, Chris Zylka, Mark Consuelos, Clea DuVall and Franka Potente. Last year's theme was infidelity. This year, we get sanity, which means the horror will definitely be a little creepier this time around. Instead of modern-day Los Angeles, this season will now take place in an asylum for the criminally insane in the year 1964. Lange's character will run the asylum. Beyond that, not much else is known, but for a show like American Horror Story, it is totally so much more fun to see it unfold before your eyes. This week, FX has been releasing cryptic teasers that, at least for me, are a lot creepier than anything we saw last year. Check out a few below, and get ready for the premiere of American Horror Story - Asylum in mid-October, just in time for Halloween!

Fall First Look: Kiss by Carly Rae Jepsen

After topping the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks, gaining teen king Justin Bieber's seal of approval, getting four simple lines stuck in our heads all summer long, and inspiring thousands of spoofs on YouTube, pop music's latest sensation, Carly Rae Jepsen, is ready to show us what else she has to offer. It's important to start at the beginning, where the story starts much earlier than anyone really knows. Starting out as just a coffee house singer, Carly auditioned for Canadian Idol in 2007 and placed third that season. Shortly thereafter, in September 2008, Carly released her first album, Tug of War, which gained some success. Same month, three years later, Carly released new original music for her second album, Curiosity. The song was called Call Me Maybe, and it signaled a change of sound for Jepsen, as she moved from coffeehouse music to strictly pop. Luckily, her critics didn't mind the change, and noted that it was fun pop that wasn't cringe inducing or stale. The song became a hit in Canada, but it was only just the start. That Christmas, teenage dream Justin Bieber was visiting home for the holidays with his girlfriend, teen actress Selena Gomez, and heard this infectious song on the radio. All it took was one tweet, "Call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepson [sic] is probably the catchiest song I've ever heard lol" from the singer and Jepsen's song gained a new legion of fans. Yet, it wasn't until February 18, 2012 that the song really took off. That night, Carlos Pena, an actor and one-fourth of the band Big Time Rush, uploaded a video onto his YouTube channel of himself, the rest of his BTR crew, Bieber, Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, and some other famous friends dancing around to Call Me Maybe. The video skyrocketed overnight and Jepsen was suddenly a new star in the United States. As the video gained more views, the song's U.S. sales rose and the song gained airplay on American radio.  By the end of June, Carly Rae Jepsen had the #1 song in America, a spot she wouldn't give up for a record-breaking eight weeks. Call Me Maybe became the hit of the summer, and Jepsen was the new "It" girl in music. In late June, Jepsen and alternative artist Owl City released a duet titled Good Time which also saw much chart success, peaking (at least as of right now) at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sure, it was one thing to have two major successes, but many wondered if Jepsen could produce a whole album that was just as good as her hits. On August 8, fans were greeted with news that Jepsen's third album, Kiss, would be available September 18th. In an exclusive statement to her fans, Carly stated, "These are lyric and song ideas that I have been collecting over the years...The record is pop. It's inspired by Robyn, The Cars, Madonna, and believe it or not, James Taylor. I can't wait to share it with everyone!" The star worked with big-time producers Max Martin, LMFAO's RedFoo, Toby Gad, and of course, Josh Ramsay, who produced Call Me Maybe. Fans are anxiously awaiting the album, which will be out in a little less than a month's time. It's fair to say this should be one of the fall's biggest releases, granted that Jepsen delivers as expected. In the meantime, check out Jepsen's first two hits, as if you haven't already heard them enough:

Emmy Nomination Analysis: Best Directing for a Drama Series/Best Writing for a Drama Series

CATEGORY: Best Directing for a Drama Series

NOMINEES: "Episode 7" for Downton Abbey (directed by Brian Percival), "Face Off" for Breaking Bad (directed by Vince Gilligan), "The Other Woman" for Mad Men (directed by Phil Abraham), "Pilot" for Homeland (directed by Michael Cuesta), "To The Lost" for Boardwalk Empire (directed by Tim Van Patten)

ANALYSIS: I had not previously seen any of these episodes. Although I have complained about Downton Abbey in the past (the lack of screentime for its' stars, multiple storylines, etc.), my complaints really work in its' favor here. Directing a show like this, particularly an episode like this with so many important plotlines that so easily intertwine, is no easy feat, so a win is possible, especially since the Emmys just really love Downton Abbey. Face Off didn't have visually grand shots or anything, but the intensity of the show mainly relies upon the show's directing. Love for Breaking Bad and Vince Gilligan could lead to a win here. The Other Woman was a very good episode of Mad Men, but nothing really stood out about it, except for the final scene with Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss. It's got a much better shot at winning Best Writing. Pilot is a fantastic episode, and it's a first episode, which Emmys love rewarding. It sets up the storyline well and gets the story rolling, all while really digging into the grittiness of real life, not to mention the fantastic shots throughout the episode. It's a frontrunner. Finally, To The Lost is visually very entertaining, total eye candy. If it's winning any Emmys, it has the best chance here.

WHO SHOULD AND WILL WIN: Pilot has been hailed as one of the best TV pilots in years, and that is certainly deserving of an Emmy award. The only caveat: will it win Best Directing or Best Writing? Or (cue gasps) can it win both?

RANKINGS:
1. Pilot - Homeland
2. Face Off - Breaking Bad
3. To The Lost - Boardwalk Empire
4. The Other Woman - Mad Men
5. Episode 7 - Downton Abbey

CATEGORY: Best Writing for a Drama Series

NOMINEES: "Commissions and Fees" for Mad Men (written by Andre and Maria Jacquemetton), "Episode 7" for Downton Abbey (written by Julian Fellowes), "Far Away Places" for Mad Men (written by Semi Chellas and Matthew Weiner), "The Other Woman" for Mad Men (written by Semi Chellas and Matthew Weiner), "Pilot" for Homeland (written by Alex Gansa, Howard Gordon, and Gideon Raff)

ANALYSIS: Again, I had previously not seen any of these episodes. Starting once again with Downton Abbey, the same argument that could be used for a Best Directing win also occurs here. With so many different plotlines to juggle and trying to fit in all under one roof with mingling of plots, it's really a feat to make it all work as well as the show does. Plus, this episode was written by the man behind the whole show, so that adds some brownie points. As I've already stated, the pilot for Homeland is amazing and the confidence in it's writing is something truly remarkable. While the story is great, it's the smaller, quieter moments that pack the biggest punch. This category has not one, not two, but three Mad Men nominations, but which one stands out above the rest. Far Away Places is interesting, dealing with hot topics like female dominance and LSD. It's certainly intriguing and I can see why it's nominated, but it's up against two much stronger episodes of Mad Men, not to mention the choppy segmentation of the episode (the first third deals with Elisabeth Moss' character, the middle third deals with John Slattery's, and the last third deals with Jon Hamm's). The Other Woman is written by the same team that wrote Far Away Places, and it is a far superior episode that relies on simple scenes between two or three characters left with nothing but the words. Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men, co-wrote both of those episodes, yet he's not behind the third Mad Men nominee, Commissions and Fees. While this episode does deal with the normal office drama, it really becomes one of the most excellent character studies in recent history, dealing with the downfall of a man after he is fired. I already expressed my feelings about Jared Harris' superb performance in this episode, but the writing definitely elevates him. The scene in the beginning of the episode when he is fired is awesome, and it's just him and Jon Hamm in a closed office. It's a very good episode, and it was written by previous nominated husband-and-wife team Andre and Maria Jacquemetton.

WHO SHOULD WIN: While I have a bias towards the pilot episode of Homeland, I think three nominations for Mad Men (plus three previous wins in this category) gives it the edge, although some may argue that votes could cancel out and lead to a Homeland or Downton Abbey victory. If a Mad Men episode deserves to win, it's Commissions and Fees, just a great episode of what I've seen as an overrated series (sorry!).

WHO WILL WIN: Emmy voters love giving this award to Mad Men, but specifically Matthew Weiner. He's nominated twice here, but The Other Woman is the stronger episode, thus gaining the edge.

RANKINGS:
1. The Other Woman - Mad Men
2. Commissions and Fees - Mad Men
3. Pilot - Homeland
4. Far Away Places - Mad Men
5. Episode 7 - Downton Abbey

What do you think? Will double nominated episodes Pilot (for Homeland), The Other Woman (for Mad Men), and Episode 7 (for Downton Abbey) make an impact in these categories? What about the loved Breaking Bad or the eye candy of Boardwalk Empire? Will Emmy love for Matthew Weiner continue or can the Jacquemetton's take their first Emmy? Let me know what you think in the comments section below!

Fall First Look: Looper

Every fall, we see the same old trend happening in movie theaters. While most releases underperform or deliver on expectations, there are always those small films that no one sees coming that blows up at the box office and becomes what is now regarded as a "sleeper hit." Certainly, this potential is tied to the new action thriller Looper. Scheduled for release on September 28th, it's hard to put a simple one-sentence summary of this movie together. Taking place in the year 2072, experts are sent into the past to kill those who may cause harm in the future. Joe (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is one of these "loopers," as they are called, and the movie follows his latest and most challenging mission to date: Joe must deal with an older version of himself (Bruce Willis) who was sent from the future to close the loop. Sounds completely crazy, right? But with the dawn of hits like Inception, audiences are now craving fun action movies that are high-concept and really make them think, and certainly when a man's mission is to kill a younger version of himself, that's gotta involve some thinking, right? Gordon-Levitt, one of Hollywood's biggest new stars, is coming off of a meaty role in The Dark Knight Rises and audiences haven't seen Willis be a total badass in a long time. Tying up the cast is Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels, Covert Affair's Piper Perabo, Paul Dano, and Raising Hope's Garret Dillahunt. Rian Johnson, the writer and director of the film, only has two other films under his belt, a small indie named Brick and The Brothers Grimm, starring the late Heath Ledger. Neither were highly successful films, but that could all change with his third attempt. Early feedback on the movie has been wonderful, and the cast has praised the movie over and over again. For example, Blunt has revealed in interviews that she agreed to be in the movie after reading only half the script and didn't even know what part she was being offered. She's also gone on to say this is the best movie she's ever been a part of. Quite a lot of talk, so here's hoping it lives up to the hype! To find out if it does, see Looper in theaters starting September 28th.

Check out the trailer for Looper below:

Billboard Hot 100 Update - Week of August 25th

Hello everyone,

If you're a big music fan like I am, then you know the Billboard Hot 100 is the country's biggest music chart. While a new chart comes out every Wednesday, I only decided today (Friday) to start doing this feature, so don't harass me for being a few days late. So, let's start (regrettably) from the top, where we have a new #1: Whistle by Flo Rida. BARF!!! I really liked Flo Rida's old stuff when he was still rap/hip-hop, but now I just think he's a talentless singer who makes hits by stealing other people's song or getting artists with actual talent to sing the chorus of the song. There, I said it. Anyway, I do not like Whistle at all, although whether that's because of the song or Flo Rida, who's to say. I know the song is #2 on the iTunes chart, but I barely hear it on my local radio station, so I don't quite get why it's so popular. Regardless, I really hope this is it's only week at the top because there are much more deserving artists, like...Ellie Goulding, whose sudden hit Lights is stuck at #2 again this week! In it's 34th week on the chart, Ellie is once again blocked getting to the top position. The song is still very hot on radio (it plays about every hour on my station), but it's falling on iTunes, but there's still hope for a bounce to #1, a spot Carly Rae Jepsen is surely missing. Yes, after nine weeks on top of the world, Call Me Maybe has fallen from #1 to #3 this week. It was inevitable, as sales were going down and radio airplay wasn't increasing for the first time in a long time. But Jepsen shouldn't be upset. She's got Good Time with Owl City still gaining traction, and her album Kiss comes out one month from tomorrow.

Katy Perry's Wide Awake is even with last week, and I think it's safe to say that the song probably won't be reaching it's former height of #2 and going up and beyond to #1. Her record label tried it's sneaky old tactic of lowering the price of the song to 69 cents, but it didn't work this time. The song is now lingering in the teens of the iTunes top 100, and radio airplay is stalling a little bit. Still, Katy's had an amazing run with Teenage Dream and it's rerelease, The Complete Confection, so she shouldn't be upset. The same can be said for Maroon 5, whose lead single for their new album Overexposed, is still kicking in the top 5 even though it never hit #1. Yes, it's hard to believe Payphone never spent even a week as the top song in the country, but it always charted between second or third for fifteen weeks. Last week it fell to #5, where it remains this week. But Maroon 5's got One More Night headed on the way up (more on that later), so I wouldn't be worried. Also even with last week is Gotye's unescapable Somebody That I Used to Know. Now that iTunes sales have been slowing down, the song is mostly riding the success of radio, which refuses to let this song go. Up one spot from last week is David Guetta's latest hit, Titanium. I've known this song for over a year now, and the success is much deserved, it's probably my favorite Guetta song and Sia sounds awesome on it. Hopefully, the song can reach new highs, but it's iTunes sales are falling, but radio is still increasing, so keep an eye out!

Making it's Top 10 debut is Some Nights, the second single from the breakout band of the year (so far, at least), fun. Some Nights is a personal favorite of mine, so I'm glad to see it finally made the top of the crop. With iTunes sales still increasing and radio just beginning to really latch on, this song should be making it's way to the top very fast, but will it be able to match the success of the band's debut single We Are Young? Speaking of debut singles, Phillip Phillips sure is happy to see his making it's mark on the Top 10. After important placement during the Olympics coverage of Team USA gymnastics, Phillips' single Home is making a home in the Top 10, charting at #9 for the second week in a row. It's hard to tell what will happen now. Sales were just starting to fall as of Wednesday, and there hasn't been a whole lot of radio impact just yet, so this could be a case of overnight exposure that goes away just as fast as it came on. Finally, to round out the top, Rihanna's Where Have You Been falls three spots from #7 to #10. Out of every song in the Top 10, Rihanna's got the lowest iTunes placement, and radio airplay has stalled, so I wouldn't expect to see this song in the Top 10 again next week.

Beyond the Top 10, there is a lot more action going on! Pink's Blow Me (One Last Kiss) dipped out of the Top 10 after a drop in sales this week, coming in at #11. A huge sales push vaulted Justin Bieber and his new single As Long As You Love Me (featuring Big Sean) to #12, and this is probably the first single of his I wouldn't mind seeing go higher and higher, I really like the song. Owl City and Carly Rae are back up one spot this week to #13 with Good Time, and with lots of promotion coming up in the end of August, the song could finally make it's way to the Top 10. Regardless, I think we've proved that both artists are not one-hit-wonders. Want U Back by Cher Lloyd actually fell on spot this week to #14, and I have a hard time figuring that one out. She's still in the iTunes top 10, above a lot of the songs on the Billboard Top 10, and her airplay is still going hard, at least in my area. Maybe it's just a fluke way and she'll be back on her game next week. Maroon 5 jumps fifteen spots to #15 with their next single One More Night, which gained in both airplay and sales this week. It has a shot at making the Top 10 next week, but it'd be a long one.

Demi Lovato's Give Your Heart a Break jumps two spots to #16, a new peak! Hopefully, she can go a little higher, although her sales are slowing down. Also hitting a new peak is Neon Trees' Everybody Talks, which jumps two spots from #19 to #17, helped by a gain in sales. Taking a six spot tumble from #12 to #18 is Usher's Scream, which is definitely on it's way down. Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo's Let's Go falls two spots from #17 to #19, and the song isn't really that big around here, so I can understand the fall. Finally, Mercy featuring Kanye West, Big Sean (making his second appearance in the Top 20), Pusha T (who?), and 2 Chainz falls #16 to #20. Alex Clare's Too Close and Little Big Town's Pontoon hit new highs at #21 and #22, respectively, while Mumford and Sons' new single I Will Wait debuts at #23. Impressive! Nicki Minaj's new single Pound the Alarm made a huge jump from #50 to #29, after it's music video debuted last week, improving sales and airplay. It should climb even higher next week. Also benefitting from the release of a video is Carrie Underwood and her new single Blown Away, which jumps #47 to #38. It's also climbing in sales, and hopefully pop radio will start adding the song, because it's pretty freaking awesome fits the fall tone that is coming soon. Kelly Clarkson's Dark Side is slowly rising, gaining two spots this week from #44 to #42. Here's hoping the song gets a big push soon or else the success might start to fade. Chris Brown's Don't Wake Me Up made a #68 to #53 jump this week, likely boosted by a bump in sales. Finally, after two days of release, Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together makes it's debut at #72. Remember, that's only after two days of sales and airplay. Next week will be the real indicator of it's success, and I predict at the very least, a Top 5 debut. That's it for this week though! Check back next Wednesday/Thursday for more!

Emmy Nomination Analysis: Best Directing for a Comedy Series/Best Writing for a Comedy Series

CATEGORY: Best Directing for a Comedy Series

NOMINEES: "Baby on Board" for Modern Family (directed by Steve Levitan), "Duckling" for Louie (directed by Louis CK), "Palestinian Chicken" for Curb Your Enthusiasm (directed by Robert B. Wiede), "Pilot" for New Girl (directed by Jake Kasdan), "She Did" for Girls (directed by Lena Dunham), "Virgin Territory" for Modern Family (directed by Jason Winer)

ANALYSIS: Previously, I had seen the Modern Family episodes and the New Girl pilot. "Baby on Board" was the very good finale, and my favorite part of the episode was the mexican soap opera spoof, which was coordinated perfectly here and fit so well into the episode. Levitan, one of the show's creators, did a really good job here, but there's nothing too extraordinary about the episode. The second episode, "Virgin Territory," was a pretty funny episode, but nothing too grand about it. There were no standout moments (except the sight of Manny driving that car which is a riot), so I don't think it's in the race that much. The New Girl pilot was very strong, in my opinion, and because of the limited ensemble, it did a great job getting us familiar with the cast, even smaller characters like Cece, who was only in two scenes the whole episode. The Academy loves rewarding pilot episodes in one of these two categories, so don't count out this one. "Duckling" is an hour-long episode that deals with Louie going to Iraq to entertain soldiers. This was my first episode of Louie, and I really enjoyed it. CK had such a good idea of the tone he wanted for the episode, and it was very interesting to watch. He's a frontrunner. Also a frontrunner is the new Emmy It girl, Lena Dunham, for her direction of "She Did." It's the season finale, and emotions are heightened, yet it doesn't feel like everything is on the line. In particular, the last five minutes are really beautiful. If Dunham's not winning Best Comedy Series or Best Actress in a Comedy Series, she's got a real good shot here. Finally, there's Palestinian Chicken. As I expressed in my analysis of Best Actor in a Comedy Series, I was not a fan of this episode. I found David to be very shrewd and I just wasn't a fan, so maybe I was biased by not giving it a very good chance here.

WHO SHOULD AND WILL WIN: "She Did" and "Duckling" kind of stand out from the rest of the crowd, which is ironic considering the directors of each episode are the most-nominated individuals at the Emmys this year. In a perfect world, each of them will take home at least one, and I think "Duckling" should do that for Louis CK.

RANKINGS: 
1. Duckling - Louie
2. She Did - Girls
3. Pilot - New Girl
4. Baby on Board - Modern Family
5. Virgin Territory - Modern Family
6. Palestinian Chicken - Curb Your Enthusiasm

CATEGORY: Best Writing for a Comedy Series

NOMINEES: "The Debate" for Parks and Recreation (written by Amy Poehler), "Pilot" for Girls (written by Lena Dunham), "Pregnant" for Louie (written by Louis CK), "Remedial Chaos Theory" for Community (written by Chris McKenna), "Win, Lose or Draw" for Parks and Recreation (written by Michael Schur)

ANALYSIS: Previously, I had seen both Parks and Recreation episodes, and "Remedial Chaos Theory." Easily, "The Debate" is the funnier of the Parks and Rec episodes, while "Win, Lose, or Draw" has the heart that fans adore the show for having. But last year's winner, "Caught in the Act" from Modern Family, was all about the laughs, so "The Debate" has the upper hand here. Also, "The Debate" was written (and directed) by Amy Poehler, so if she should lose the Best Actress in a Comedy Series award, this could be her consolation prize. "Remedial Chaos Theory" draws the same reaction from everyone when they watch it: impressed. The episode considers six different timelines that occur when a different member of the study group goes to pick up pizza. There are reoccurrences and running jokes, but it's amazing how every last detail is perfected in the script. This is Community's first major nomination, and in a just world, they'd already have a lot more Emmys. With this episode, they certainly stand a good shot at winning the gold for the first time. "Pregnant" is a very funny episode dealing with a range of topics from children to pregnancy to friends. CK's voice comes through loud and clear here, and it's a really funny episode that could stand a shot at winning. However, the buzziest episode here is the Girls pilot. Critically lauded when it first premiered, Dunham has been praised for so accurately captured the voice of this generation, and that's so apparent in the script for this first episode. Also reassuring is how fast the show finds it's tone, something comedies struggle with for the first few episodes.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Community is deserving of more Emmy love than it gets, so a win for this genius episode would make up for those egregious snubs.

WHO WILL WIN: The pilot for Girls is undeniably one of the strongest scripts for a comedy in quite some time. If CK is going to win directing (like I predict), then Dunham should take this award.

RANKINGS:
1. Pilot - Girls
2. Remedial Chaos Theory - Community
3. The Debate - Parks and Recreation
4. Pregnant - Louie
5. Win, Lose, or Draw - Parks and Recreation

What do you think? Will CK and Dunham prevail in these important categories, or can Parks and Recreation, Community, or New Girl, three shows snubbed in the Best Comedy Series category, pull through for a win? Am I underestimating Curb Your Enthusiasm and Modern Family? Let me know in the comments section below!
