Do you have your eye on the Emmys in 2025? I certainly do, and not just because they’re airing on the Eye Network this year. Nate Bargatze will be hosting for CBS (and Paramount+) on the evening of Sunday, September 14, as those trophies for televisual excellence are handed out. Here are my annual predictions of the victors, as well as my selections for whom I would honor if I had access to an official ballot.
