                • Fallacies (75%)
                  The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the Primetime Emmy Awards are given out every year and recognizes shows that aired between June 1 of the previous year and May 31 of the current year. However, this is not entirely accurate as there have been changes in eligibility criteria over time. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that predicting the Emmy winners this year is extra-difficult due to voting closing on August 28, 2023 and making educated guesses while time-traveling. This statement exaggerates the difficulty of predicting the winners and implies a level of certainty that cannot be achieved.
