Though it's impossible to predict with 100% accuracy what TV shows will win in their respective categories, Gold Derby rolls together predications each year from the site's television and film critics.

Television dramas: According to the Gold Derby's predictions, Mr. Robot has a 52% chance of taking home an award in the drama category, closely trailed by Game of Thrones with a 27% chance.
