Emmys: Who Will Win? Who Should!

Matthew Weiner built the season around ''Who is Don Draper?'' and in so doing, gave Hamm a great showcase that he took full advantage of.

Should win: Hamm deserves it, but so does Kyle Chandler; given it's FNL's last, muffled hurrah, I wish Chandler would triumph.

The toughest major-category race to call; Elisabeth Moss and, yes, Kathy Bates could nab this. I'll go with Margulies, though.

Should win: Given her body of work in Mad Men, Moss deserves to squeak ahead of Margulies.
