As I telegraphed yesterday, I'm continuing my Emmy nominations series with the nominees for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded).
Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded)Your Friend, Nate Bargatze leads with three nominations, followed by Ali Wong: Single Lady, Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years, Conan O'Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and Sarah Silverman: PostMortem at two each, then Adam Sandler: Love You with only this one. Gold Derby's odds give a different order, with every editor and expert along with 81.1% of users choosing Conan O'Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to win. Critics Choice and Golden Globe winner Ali Wong: Single Lady sits in second with the support of 12.9% of users, followed by Adam Sandler: Love You at 2.7%, Your Friend, Nate Bargatze at 1.5%, Sarah Silverman: PostMortem at 1.1%, and Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years at 0.8%. Based on these odds, whoever wins, Netflix will, too.
- Adam Sandler: Love You (Netflix)
- Ali Wong: Single Lady (Netflix)
- Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years (Hulu)
- Conan O'Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor (Netflix)
- Sarah Silverman: PostMortem (Netflix)
- Your Friend, Nate Bargatze (Netflix)
Outstanding Writing for a Variety SpecialSNL50: The Anniversary Special would definitely win a game of "one of these things is not like the others" in this field, as it's the only live variety special and non-Netflix show nominated. The prognosticators at Gold Derby think it will win the award, too, as 83.3% of experts, 75% of editors, and 84.1% of users have picked it. Conan O'Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor sits in second with the support of 16.7% of experts, 25% of editors, and 6.0% of users, followed by Cunk on Life with 5.6% of users, Your Friend, Nate Bargatze with 2.8%, and Sarah Silverman: PostMortem with 1.6%. Note that the writing teams rank higher than the solo writer-performers. Also, Silverman may be last, but she's featured because she's the one nominee running a campaign whose image I haven't already used mentioning this category. Consider it a consolation prize.
- Conan O'Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor – Jon Macks, Chris Convy, Lauren Greenberg, Skyler Higley, Ian Karmel and Sean O'Connor (Netflix)

Outstanding Picture Editing for Variety ProgrammingOn the other hand, I'm featuring Ali Wong because her special was the only one nominated by the American Cinema Editors, so it's my pick to win.

That's a wrap for today's installment and also a wrap for all the program categories at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards except Emerging Media. I might cover those when I blog about live variety specials. That won't be until next week. In the meantime, stay tuned for World Honey Bee Day tomorrow, the Hugo Award winners for the Sunday entertainment feature, something educational on Monday and maybe Tuesday, and World Mosquito Day on Wednesday. I have my blogging cut out for me.
