This is a category ripe for an upset. With four of the five nominees from Netflix, we’re instead picking the sole HBO contender, “Bad Education.” It has a passionate fan base in the industry and the Netflix titles may just split too much of the vote. Of course, that split could also mean that a surprise such as “American Son,” “Dolly Parton Heartstrings” or “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt the Movie” could surprise. But, “Bad Education’s” real competition is likely the “Breaking Bad” spin-off “El Camino.” Obviously, the Television Academy adored the original series and has given a lot of love to its prequel, “Better Call Saul.” And yet, something tells us the Hugh Jackman and Allison Janey original film will pull it off.
