What’s your Emmy mantra? (CREDIT: Television Academy/Screenshot)

It’s Emmy Monday!!! Since I am a hopeless devotee of the boob tube, I do indeed make sure to annually view the presentation of the Primetime Emmy Awards. And along with that viewing tradition, I also enjoy making predictions of the winners in the major categories, along with my selections of whom I would vote for if I were a member of the TV Academy.

Now, I haven’t watched every single nominated program, so in some cases, my preference might be for a nominee that I believe would give an entertaining acceptance speech, as opposed to necessarily who I thought was the best at making quality television in the past year.

Anyway, we’ll all find out together how it goes down when Mariska Hargitay emcees the ceremony on Monday, September 14 on NBC and Peacock.
