No shock to fans,"Breaking Bad" claiming various spots in the drama series category is again a fan favorite-if their winning streak continues,  this will  be a good way to officially end Breaking bad.
While Breaking Bad is gearing up for their last Emmy noms, Netflix's "Orange is the New Black" is coming in like a wrecking ball...or should I say, like a sock with a lock in it. With SIX, yes 6! nomination.
This year is huge for the LGBT community with "The Normal Heart" and "Orange is the New Black" taking so many noms. 
"The Normal Heart" directed by Glee's creator Ryan Murphy, has 6 nominations for pretty much its entire cast, yet not nominated for Best miniseries or movie.-Much like "Behind the Candleabra" which took home many Emmys and Golden Globes, "The Normal Heart" nominations will create round 2 of buzz and more people will go out of their way to see this star studded HBO original.

I am going to make a few predictions right now:
Kerry Washington will not win...again
Lena Dunham will wear Zac Posen
"The Normal Heart" will win something
"Breaking Bad" will have at LEAST 2 wins.
Sarah Paulson will be snubbed.
Jim Parson's will win 1 out of 2 of his nominations

The Emmys will air on a Monday this year. August 25th at 8pm est/5pm pacific. On ABC with funny guy (and in my opinion cutie) Seth Myers as host.

Who do you want to see take home an Emmy?

Here's What

1. Of course I am going to talk about Snowpocalyse of Atlanta 2014. 

I mean what else has happened this week? But I am going to talk about the positive... Despite the extreme worrying of loved ones on Tuesday- everyone is safe and sound and enjoying family bonding and enough snow to play in. Only one fatality from the effects of the storm (Rest in Peace), but that is shocking, considering the many wrecks and even a car fire. I am glad that schools are closed, and people are starting to get back to normal.  See post about snowmagedon- http://twentysomethinganddazed.blogspot.com/2014/01/snow-pocalypse-2014.html

AHS SPOILER ALERT, I am 

going to reveal who the supreme is

2.  And the Supreme is...

We have been waiting all AHS season for this. We have all predicted pretty much everyone as the supreme, hell I got to a point where I thought it was Kyle. But we were right at some point in the season...

As they drop like flies, literally a fly is killed in the finale (don't worry PETA it was brought back to life), we learn that Cordelia is the next supreme!

I mean she deserves it, she stabbed her eye balls out for Petes sake. i am happy AHS: Coven is over, I was sort of bored after episode 6... Season 1 was the best! Season 2 would have been good if they didn't do the whole alien thing... yeah no, that was stupid. So we know who the supreme is. yay!

3. My New obsession

Who to Watch for at the 71st Golden Globes

The red carpet of pre-award shows is what fuels talk shows for at least two days after the award show airs. What celebrities wear at one award show is what makes us look for them at the next to see if they out did their last get up or disappointed us with a nipple piercing illusion satin Prada dress (Anne Hathaway circa 2013 Oscars). Here are some of the celebrities I am looking forward to see tomorrow night on my small vizio flat screen.

Jennifer Lawrence-  JLaw is in American Hustler which has several nomination, including Lawrence's nomination for best supporting action is a motion picture comedy or musical . Most find it too much to red on the red carpet, but Jennifer pulled it off effortless. With a simple up-do. and minimal jewelry Jennifer looks flawless.

A simple red strapless Dior with a chic thin
black belt.

Kerry Washington- Nominated for playing THE Olivia Pope, Washington, doesn't channel Ms. Pope on the red carpet, she usually keeps is fresh and fun. Washington let her dress do the accessorizing at last year Globes. With only a bracelet, ring and a clutch. The nude mesh and silver beading made her skin tone glow on the red carpet

In Miu Miu.

Tina Fey-  Hosting again this year, Fey only needs to focus on keeping it hilarious again! She isn't about the glitz and glam, but the simplisity nand comfort of the dress, especially on the red carpet, since she will have a more spectacular dress on stage.

                             

In  ankle length creme silk with black lace covering L `Wren Scott

Amy Poehler- The other half of the hilarious co-hosting duo, kept it sleek at last years show. wearing a pant suit that was sexier than your average attorney in Manhattan. Deep neck line, and stunning neck piece to draw your gaze down. 

In Stella McCartney

Lena Dunham- I LOVE Lena Dunham, but she doesn't always bring it on the red carpet, so I really hope she BRRRings it! Last year Lena's dress wasn't flattering. The color was totally Lena, but, well see for yourself.  I am not a Zac Posen, put this dress isn't that bad, it just isn't for Lena!

In Zac Posen

Julia Louis Dreyfus- Dreyfus has been to her fair share of award shows, and has had her up and downs with red carpet choices. Last year she was stunning in a Vera Wang chiffon and lance gown. Like her peers keeping it simple with minimal accessories.

Since American Horror Story: Coven is nominated along with Jessica Lange, I cannot wait to see Kathy Bates and Angela basset strut the red carpet! lets hope they are there. There are many more red carpet looks that was stunning last year, and some not so stunning. Last award season, minimal was is, only one or two accessories, while the trend in everyday fashion this year is bulking, and layering, so we will see if that plays out on the red carpet or if there is a new trend set on the carpet.
