Here's an exclusive sneak peek at the 20th Century Fox Television 2014 Emmy campaign

In a Gold Derby exclusive, 20th Century Fox Television has provided their Emmy Awards campaign for 2014 with category placements.

Even though "Modern Family" airs on ABC, Fox produces the reigning four-time Emmy champ as Best Comedy Series. Will it be able to tie the record set by "Frasier" with the most wins ever in this category?

New comedies from Fox include "The Crazy Ones" (with past Emmy winner Robin Williams), "Dads" (Seth Green), "Enlisted" (Geoff Stults), and "Friends with Better Lives" (James Van Der Beek). Other laffers in the mix could be "Glee" (Lea Michele, Jane Lynch) and "New Girl" (Zooey Deschanel).

Freshman dramas are "Crisis" (Gillian Anderson), "Salem" (Shane West), "Sleepy Hollow" (Tom Mison), and "Witches of East End" (Julia Ormond). They also have "Homeland" (Claire Danes, Damian Lewis), the 2012 Best Drama Series champ back again.

Below, the complete list of the 20th Century Fox Television planned submissions. Remember that some of these still might change before the Emmy ballots are released in June. Also, keep in mind that people not on this list could be submitted by their personal reps.
