Anyone have a crystal ball I can borrow? Predicting the Emmys has never been harder – with the incumbents out of contention (see you next year, Game Of Thrones), many of the top races are legitimately toss-ups. Complicating matters, too, are the new voting rules: Last year the Academy replaced the ranking system with a winner-take-all system – which led to delightfully surprising winners like Rami Malek (Mr. Robot) and Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black).

Does this mean that the Academy has finally shed its legacy habit of rewarding old standbys and new winners will be crowned yet again? We’ll find out for sure when the envelopes are opened on Sept 17 (Sept 18, Malaysian time), but in the meantime, here are our predictions for who will win, who should win – and who’s poised to play spoiler.
