Judged: Emmy Nominations 2014


This may not come as a shock after seeing the content of my blog, but I am a massive award show buff and try to watch every single ceremony related to such subjects or at least try and know everything about them if I can't in fact, watch them. After all, I am the girl that pleaded with her Mum to ring up Sky and request they give us the movie channels for a night just so I could watch the Oscars. (It worked though, don't judge).

And because I watch a crazy amount of television shows, I always feel a little more involved with the ones that focus on that category, like the Emmy's for example.

After a radiation leak at the nuclear plant he works for, tragically killed his wife, Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) becomes hellbent on explaining the reasons behind the devastation that day. 15 years later and embroiling his now grown son, Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) into his investigations, father and son soon realise that it wasn't just a freak accident but rather the start of something much, much bigger...
