Set your alarm to the tune of the Breaking Bad theme song: the 2014 Emmy nominees will be announced tomorrow morning. You just know Modern Family is going to win everything AGAIN, so instead of the boring old mainstays, here are some new categories I want the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences would add next year, along with who should win it this year. Warning, potential spoilers ahead.
