Absolutely, we’re in May now. Unfortunately, the Emmy nominations aren’t announced until two more months from now. However, we’ve been covering the Emmys awards season for quite a while, and I can’t wait to share my predictions with you!
In this instance, I’m mainly having fun and speculating. We haven’t received the voting form yet, so there could be some changes in which categories certain artists might qualify for. For now, I’ve outlined the primary categories broadly enough that you can view a range of potential nominees before I share my thoughts on who I believe will make the final list.
The number of available nomination slots in each acting category hasn’t been determined yet. However, the Drama Series and Comedy Series categories will have eight nominees each (while Limited Series has five), and the total number of nominees in each acting category depends on the overall number of performers submitted:
– 20 to 80 submissions result in five nominees
– 81 to 160 submissions lead to six nominees
– 161 to 240 submissions yield seven nominees
– More than 240 submissions mean eight nominees will be chosen.
Last year, there were six candidates nominated in both Lead Actor and Actress categories for Comedy series, five candidates in those same categories for Limited Series or Movies, seven candidates each in Supporting Actor and Actress categories for Drama series, and seven candidates each in Supporting Actor and Actress categories for Limited Series or Movies.
For the purpose of this exercise, we’ll assume those numbers will remain constant.
Outstanding Drama Series
It’s highly probable that you enjoy the following shows:
– Severance (Apple TV+)
– The Last of Us (HBO)
– The Pitt (HBO Max)
– The White Lotus (HBO)
– Andor (Disney+)
Each of these series offers unique storylines and engaging characters that make them must-watch television. Whether you’re a fan of science fiction, drama, or comedy, there’s something for everyone in this lineup. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be entertained!
*Up for grabs:* The Diplomat (Netflix), Slow Horses (Apple TV+), The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu), The Day of the Jackal (Peacock), Squid Game (Netflix), Matlock (CBS), Yellowjackets (Showtime), Paradise (Hulu), House of the Dragon (HBO)
*These shows are currently available for viewing:* The Diplomat on Netflix, Slow Horses on Apple TV+, The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu, The Day of the Jackal on Peacock, Squid Game on Netflix, Matlock on CBS, Yellowjackets on Showtime, Paradise on Hulu, House of the Dragon on HBO.
*Or simply:* Watch these shows: The Diplomat (Netflix), Slow Horses (Apple TV+), The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu), The Day of the Jackal (Peacock), Squid Game (Netflix), Matlock (CBS), Yellowjackets (Showtime), Paradise (Hulu), House of the Dragon (HBO).
For Your Consideration:
Industry (HBO)
Black Doves (Netflix)
It appears there’s a clear boundary separating the leading five shows from the rest in this category. Each of these – Andor, The Last of Us, The Pitt, Severance, and The White Lotus – could potentially take the win, so let’s hold off on predicting until after the nominations have been announced. In the meantime, the fiercest competition seems to be occurring in the second tier. Last year’s nominee, Slow Horses, is standing strong among spy shows. The Diplomat made a debut last year with Keri Russell’s nomination. The Handmaid’s Tale, a previous winner, often surpasses expectations; don’t write it off until it’s truly finished. Meanwhile, both Yellowjackets and Squid Game have received Drama Series nominations in the past, even though their buzz has waned following their latest seasons.
Hulu’s series “Paradise,” produced by Dan Fogelman, who is known for the Emmy-nominated show “This Is Us,” and stars Sterling K. Brown, an Emmy winner from that series, presents an intriguing scenario. While “This Is Us” was more relatable to everyday life, “Paradise” offers a unique twist with its postapocalyptic bunker conspiracies. Interestingly, the voters favored “Fallout,” another postapocalyptic show about bunker living last year, despite it having fewer notable connections compared to “Paradise.
The film ‘The Day of the Jackal’ boasts a high level of prestige, which could be beneficial when it goes up against shows like ‘Matlock’. However, ‘Matlock’, being a popular network show, might use its strong following to secure a nomination, especially with Kathy Bates being a significant contender in the Lead Actress category. As for ‘House of the Dragon’, it didn’t perform as well at the Emmys two years ago, but still managed to get a Drama Series nomination. Unfortunately, since its second season aired a year before this year’s nominations, it will be largely overlooked by many voters.
When it comes to taking a chance on shows with potential, I must admit that my peers at Vulture are quite enamored with the series “Industry”, which landed on three of their top-ten TV lists last year. Since financial amorality isn’t really my forte, I’d like to advocate instead for the Netflix spy series “Black Doves”. In this show, Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw portray a U.K. spy and her gay assassin confidant, respectively. It offers a solid, fashionable, and surprisingly emotional dose of suspense.
Forecasts include: Severance, The Last of Us, The Pitt (Fallout), The White Lotus, Andor, Slow Horses, The Handmaid’s Tale, and The Day of the Jackal
Listed predictions for upcoming viewing/reading are: Severance, The Last of Us, The Pitt (Fallout series or book), The White Lotus, Andor, Slow Horses, The Handmaid’s Tale, and The Day of the Jackal.
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Very Likely:
Noah Wyle, The Pitt
Adam Scott, Severance
Gary Oldman, Slow Horses
On Offer: Diego Luna from “Andor”
Pedro Pascal in “The Last of Us”
Eddie Redmayne featured in “The Day of the Jackal”
Sterling K. Brown starring in “Paradise”
Jon Hamm appearing in “Your Friends and Neighbors”
Lee Jung-jae known for “Squid Game”
Billy Bob Thornton as “Landman”
Jeff Bridges playing the role of “The Old Man
For Your Consideration:
Jacob Anderson, Interview With the Vampire
One of the less specific queries as Emmy nominations approach – how far can “The Pitt” go? The potential is significant, but I’d also urge caution to “Pitt” enthusiasts, particularly in categories where “The White Lotus” may dominate the field. However, Lead Actor isn’t one of those categories, so go ahead and let your optimism run free regarding Noah Wyle potentially securing his first Emmy nomination since 1999. His main competition for the win could be Adam Scott from “Severance”, who delivered an even more remarkable performance in the show’s second season, essentially playing two roles – Mark’s Innie and Outie – that grew progressively at odds with each other. Another near lock in Lead Actor is Gary Oldman, who brings a shabby charm to “Slow Horses”, a quality that, surprisingly, keeps viewers captivated.
In this category, there are three more potential nominations to consider, and the discussion might begin with Diego Luna from “Andor”. He delivers a heavyweight performance that becomes increasingly solid throughout the series. However, when “Andor” was nominated for Drama Series two years ago, Luna missed out on the Best Actor nod. Despite “Andor” improving significantly in its second season, its focus has broadened to encompass various storylines, characters, and settings. This means that Luna’s character, Cassian Andor, had less screen time this season compared to others. I still believe he stands a good chance of getting nominated, but it’s not entirely guaranteed.
In essence, there’s little doubt that Pedro Pascal could again be nominated for ‘The Last of Us’, despite having less screen time in the second season. HBO is likely to present him as the main character, perhaps to avoid spoilers for those who haven’t watched yet. However, he’s no longer the central figure he was in the first season.
This year, some classic Emmy hits will vie for the fifth and sixth spots, such as Sterling K. Brown, star of “Paradise,” taking on the role of a secret service agent attempting to unravel the murder mystery of a future president in an underground city, alongside John Hamm in Apple’s Your Friends and Neighbors, portraying a hedge fund manager whose character spirals downward even further. Lastly, the much-anticipated return of “Squid Game” means Lee Jung-jae will defend his 2023 Emmy win.
In addition, we have the Oscar winners: Eddie Redmayne is up for consideration in Peacock’s full-length reboot of “The Day of the Jackal,” while Jeff Bridges aims for another nomination with season two of FX’s “The Old Man.” Billy Bob Thornton, who won an Oscar for writing “Sling Blade” in 1996, lends a significant amount of weight to the main cast list for Taylor Sheridan’s “Landman,” although it’s important to mention that every actor in “Landman” is currently playing second fiddle to Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys owner, whose potential Emmy nomination as a guest actor could be one of the most intriguing stories this season.
AMC isn’t the Emmy-winning network it used to be, and that’s one factor contributing to why the series Interview With the Vampire, which seamlessly combines elements of sex, politics, and violence, might struggle to gain widespread viewer support. Despite this, in an ideal scenario, Jacob Anderson’s portrayal of Louis de Pointe du Lac would be among the frontrunners for Emmy nominations.
Predictions: Noah Wiley, Adam Scott, Gary Oldman, Diego Luna, Pedro Pascal, Sterling K. Brown
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
It’s quite probable that Kathy Bates starred in Matlock, Bella Ramsey played a role in The Last of Us, Elisabeth Moss appeared in The Handmaid’s Tale, Keri Russell was featured in The Diplomat, and Britt Lower can be found in Severance.
Open Opportunities:
* Melanie Lynskey stars in “Yellowjackets”
* Keira Knightley is featured in “Black Doves”
* Zoe Saldaña takes on the role in “Lioness”
* Sharon Horgan plays a part in “Bad Sisters”
* Emma D’Arcy appears in “House of the Dragon”
* Marisa Abela is seen in “Industry
For Your Consideration:
Carrie Preston, Elsbeth
In 2025, Kathy Bates leading the race for the Emmy Award due to her performance in the Matlock reboot is not just pleasing but also shows how unpredictable this category can be. Apart from Bates, Bella Ramsey seems to be a sure bet for another win, as she delves deeper into the emotional turmoil of betrayal and regret in season two of The Last of Us.
In a more challenging year for breakthrough performances, I might not be as certain about the prospects of actresses like Elizabeth Moss (whose “The Handmaid’s Tale” has seen a decline in industry prestige), Keri Russell (whose “The Diplomat” is a moderately successful streaming series), and Britt Lower (who delivers an outstanding performance on “Severance,” but was not nominated for the show’s initial season, leaving some uncertainty about whether Academy voters truly appreciate her talent). However, their strengths far exceed their weaknesses: Moss is a past winner in this category; Russell received a nomination last year; Lower is arguably delivering the best performance in this category, and while I am not an Academy voter, it’s hard for me to believe that I’m the only one who feels this way.
Here’s my take as a first-person movie reviewer:
In the realm of this year’s acting nominations, five captivating actresses have caught my attention. Among them, I believe there will be at least one more joining the ranks, as the competition is fierce. The performances that have piqued my interest the most are those of Melanie Lynskey and Sharon Horgan.
Melanie Lynskey has been recognized for her exceptional work in both seasons of “Yellowjackets” thus far, earning a well-deserved nomination. Similarly, Sharon Horgan was nominated two years ago for her role in “Bad Sisters.” Despite the buzz surrounding both shows dwindling, their performances continue to shine brilliantly.
Keira Knightley’s pedigree as a two-time Oscar nominee certainly adds weight to her contention. This prestige could very well sway voters, especially considering she is a recent Oscar winner, Zoe Saldaña. However, some may view “Lioness,” the show that has given rise to Saldaña’s potential nomination, as one of those series Paramount+ produced specifically for their promotional reels.
In essence, these five actresses have delivered performances worthy of recognition, and I eagerly await the outcome come awards season.
Initially, there are two remarkable long shots featuring actors from distinct HBO series: Emma D’Arcy, who was overlooked for a nomination two years ago despite the Drama Series nod for House of the Dragon, and Marisa Abela from Industry. Interestingly, the latter has yet to captivate the Television Academy with Industry’s first two seasons, a pattern often indicating that voters are not generally drawn to a show collectively. However, Industry has its loyal followers, and Abela has been garnering attention due to her promising potential in the acting world, evident from her role in Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag earlier this year and her recent BAFTA TV award win.
Regarding Carrie Preston’s situation, I find myself at a loss if you can provide a compelling explanation as to why Kathy Bates is a certain choice for her CBS legal procedural role, while Preston isn’t considered for hers. If there’s a solid argument, it would be the first one I’ve encountered. Additionally, it’s perplexing to me why the Emmys seem to have issues acknowledging the talent pool of the Good Wife extended universe, given that Preston was twice nominated and even won for her role as Elsbeth Tascioni on the show. What seems to be the Emmys’ conundrum regarding the Good Wife Universe?
Predictions: Kathy Bates, Bella Ramsey, Elisabeth Moss, Britt Lower, Keri Russell, Keira Knightley
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
Very Likely:
Jason Isaacs, The White Lotus
Walton Goggins, The White Lotus
Open for Seizing:
Sam Rockwell, “The White Lotus”
Sam Nivola, “The White Lotus”
Patrick Schwarzenegger, “The White Lotus”
John Turturro, “Severance”
Tramell Tillman, “Severance”
Zach Cherry, “Severance”
Jack Lowden, “Slow Horses”
Jonathan Pryce, “Slow Horses”
Patrick Ball, “The Pitt”
Gerran Howell, “The Pitt”
Stellan Skarsgård, “Andor”
Kyle Soller, “Andor
For Your Consideration:
Ben Whishaw, Black Doves
As a devoted film enthusiast, I’ve noticed an interesting trend this year. In a category that had only seven nominees last year, five shows are strategically aiming to flood the ballot with their male cast members. This approach worked wonders for “The White Lotus” in its first two seasons – why make tough choices about who to push for recognition when voters might just opt for everyone if they love your show? Even after what I see as a less-than-stellar season, “Lotus” still stands a good chance of earning anywhere from two to five nominations. While Walton Goggins is making headlines with his photoshoots and “SNL” hosting gig, I personally believe that Jason Isaacs delivered an even more striking performance as a financier on the brink (metaphorically speaking, given our topic).
Following Isaacs and Goggins, it seems likely that we’ll receive at least one more nomination for “White Lototus”. Sam Rockwell’s captivating Bangkok monologue secured him the Guest Actor award, but since he was in enough episodes to qualify for Supporting, he could potentially earn another nomination. It remains to be seen if either of the Ratliff boys will join him. While Sam Nivola played a more introspective character, it was Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Saxson who underwent the classic “White Lotus” transformation of perspective by the end of the season.
The team behind the series “Severance” features John Turturro, a 2022 nominee, whose character’s development, albeit limited, reached a captivating climax. In eras when episode submissions held significance, Turturro’s performance in “Woe’s Hollow” would have been impressive. Conversely, Tramell Tillman was an unexpected omission from the Supporting Actor category in 2022 (he arguably deserved the nod over Christopher Walken); his character, Milchick, became increasingly psychologically intricate this season, and with Tillman moving on to “Mission: Impossible” films, it appears this could be the time he captures Emmy voters’ attention. To add, if I may, please do not require me to return to this space in mid-July demanding justice for Zach Cherry, whose character, Dylan, serves as the unsung foundation upon which “Severance” stands.
As a cinephile, I’ve got some thoughts on who might shine in the upcoming awards for “The Pitt.” Unfortunately, I believe both Patrick Ball as Dr. Langdon and Gerran Howell as Whitaker have their work cut out to secure nominations. However, shows like “Slow Horses” have an edge because Jack Lowden and Jonathan Pryce were nominated last season. Pryce, who was a Supporting Actor nominee for “The Crown” last year and a Guest Actor nominee for “Slow Horses,” got bumped up to the main cast for the latest season. On the other hand, Lowden, who’s essentially a co-lead, is stuck in the Supporting category.
Moving on, if Netflix decides to put Ben Whishaw in the Supporting Actor category for “Black Doves,” I’d say give him your vote. He delivers an outstanding performance in a show that’s unfairly overlooked, playing a complex character with a wounded soul beneath his assassin persona’s fearsome exterior.
Lastly, among the talented ensemble of “Andor,” it’s not hard to understand why Kyle Soller as the morally conflicted Syril Karn and Stellan Skarsgård as the cunning and commanding Luthen Rael stand out.
Forecast: Jason Isaacs, Walton Goggins, Sam Rockwell, Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, Jonathan Pryce, and Patrick Schwarzenegger are expected to appear.
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
It’s highly probable that Parker Posey, Carrie Coon, Natasha Rothwell, and Patricia Arquette are all currently involved in different projects. While Parker Posey is featured in “The White Lotus”, Carrie Coon, Natasha Rothwell, and Patricia Arquette can be found in their respective shows, “The White Lotus”, and “Severance”.
Open for Competition:
Allison Janney – The Diplomat
Leslie Bibb – The White Lotus
Aimee Lou Wood – The White Lotus
Katherine LaNasa – The Pitt
Taylor Dearden – The Pitt
Fiona Dourif – The Pitt
Isa Briones – The Pitt
Tracy Ifeachor – The Pitt
Dichen Lachman – Severance
Isabela Merced – The Last of Us
Ann Dowd – The Handmaid’s Tale
Julianne Nicholson – Paradise
Kristin Scott Thomas – Slow Horses
Sarah Lancashire – Black Doves
For Your Consideration:
Denise Gough, Andor
Genevieve O’Reilly, Andor
Adria Arjona, Andor
In the category of Supporting Actress, the outcome could heavily rely on the lingering affection for “The White Lotus” among voters, given the abundance of potential candidates from season three. Parker Posey (known for her meme-worthy roles) and Carrie Coon (whose powerful season-ending monologue has boosted her to a leading position) appear to be in strong contention. Additionally, I’d suggest Natasha Rothwell, who was previously nominated for the show’s first season and delivered an even more impactful performance this time around. Lastly, it’s a given that Patricia Arquette is a top pick, having been nominated before for “Severance” and being a frequent Emmy favorite, with five acting nominations under her belt and two victories (for “Medium” in 2005 and “The Act” in 2019).
Afterward, the whirlwind commences, with over a dozen actresses who seem plausible for one of the anticipated three roles. Initially, I considered placing Allison Janney’s role as the powerful yet untrustworthy veep in The Diplomat under “Very Likely,” but she only appears in two out of six episodes in the second season. (She might have submitted for the Guest category, but it seems she decided against it.)
One intriguing aspect of the Supporting Actress category is predicting which actresses will stand out from ‘The Pitt’. There are numerous impressive contenders for what might be one or two nominations. Among them, I’ve been consistently ranking Katherine LaNasa at the top due to her powerful portrayal as Dana Evans, the tough and competent charge nurse. Her performance really shines in the second half of the season, where she convincingly portrays being severely unsettled by a violent incident. I believe that the quiet authority and respect her character commands could make voters view her as the leading contender among equals. However, there are strong cases to be made for many actresses from ‘The Pitt’. Taylor Dearden delivers a heartwarming performance as Mel, a beloved character, and she also has an Emmy legacy, being the daughter of four-time winner Bryan Cranston. Fiona Dourif and Isa Briones both had significant storylines throughout the season, often taking center stage. Similarly, Tracy Ifeachor excelled as senior resident Dr. Heather Collins, though her absence during the climactic mass-casualty event at the end of the season could impact her chances.
Regarding the remainder of the competition: Ann Dowd, who previously won, hasn’t been nominated since 2021; Kristen Scott Thomas, surprisingly, wasn’t nominated last year for Slow Horses, which might not be good news for her this time around. Julianne Nicholson is quite intriguing: She’s an Emmy winner from Mare of Easttown and is giving it her all as a post-apocalyptic power broker on Paradise, while also bolstering her case with her current role in Hacks.
Once again, let me express my thoughts: Why are we here if our categories aren’t overflowing with actors from the Andor series? I strongly believe in this case: Denise Gough delivers a performance that deserves Emmy recognition, and those who voted for Ann Dowd during The Handmaid’s Tale’s politically relevant moment should find it simple to extend that same appreciation to Gough. If you prefer heroic performances, consider Genevieve O’Reilly’s powerful Senate floor speech, effectively shaming Chuck Schumer, or Adria Arjona portraying Bix’s mental deterioration following intense suffering, and then her brave struggle to recover. Emmy voters, might I suggest considering all of them?
Forecast: Parker Posey, Carrie Coon, Patricia Arquette, Natasha Rothwell, Allison Janney, Katherine LaNasa, and Taylor Dearden are anticipated to appear.
Outstanding Comedy Series

* Shadows in the Shadows (FX)
* Poker Game (Peacock)
* The Righteous Families (HBO)

* The Rehearsal Room (HBO)
* English Instructor (FX)
For Your Consideration:
Agatha All Along (Disney+)
I’ve extensively discussed the top four comedies, including the current champion “Hacks”, the 2023 winner “The Bear”, three-time nominee “Abbott Elementary”, and the recent SAG Best Cast award winner “Only Murders in the Building”. Apple’s “The Studio” appears to be a strong contender to challenge these shows. This leaves three remaining spots for other comedies on television, and Netflix is eager to secure at least one of them. It seems probable that they will manage to do so – the question is which show? They are particularly promoting “Nobody Wants This“, a show that has gained significant traction, with numerous nominations for the series and its stars, Rabbi Adam Brody and Shiksa Kristen Bell, during recent award shows.
It seems that “The Four Seasons” is gaining traction as a popular choice among Emmy voters, reminding them of the golden era of Tina Fey and Steve Carell on NBC. This surge in popularity may leave less opportunity for my top two Netflix series: “A Man on the Inside” where Ted Danson disguises himself as a mole in an elder-care facility and wins over a group of talented character actresses, and “The Residence“, a humorous murder mystery set within the White House that I believe executed the season-long whodunnit better than the latest season of “Only Murders in the Building“.
For the last season of “What We Do in the Shadows,” there’s a chance it could receive an emotional farewell nomination at the Emmys. It’s sort of a coin toss situation since the show, being a humorous vampire series on FX, has often been nominated for Emmys. However, since the finale was back in December, some voters might have already shifted their focus elsewhere. On the other hand, two cherished HBO shows, “The Righteous Gemstones” and “Somebody Somewhere,” concluded their long-running series this year, neither having won the hearts of Emmy voters previously. Yet, it could be a delightful surprise if one (or both!) were to receive a heartfelt farewell nod as they bid adieu.
Last year, “Poker Face” didn’t perform well at the Emmys, and this season, only half of it will air before the May 31 deadline. So far, Peacock hasn’t managed to establish itself as a significant player at the Emmys, and it appears that Rian Johnson’s anthology series is feeling the strain as a result.
Two noteworthy shows that stand out: HBO’s “The Rehearsal“, which is receiving both adulation and discomfort, frequently at the same time. This isn’t a program designed for Emmy victories or widespread appeal – it’s more of a niche choice in today’s era of audience division, given that HBO can nominate eight shows. Nathan Fielder’s show is worth considering in this context. The other contender is FX’s “The English Teacher“, one of the season’s funniest shows, which might have been a strong Emmy candidate before allegations of Brian Jordan Alvarez’s sexual misconduct surfaced. Despite these accusations, the show was renewed for a second season in February and is still receiving recognition from bodies like the Gotham TV Awards. One may wonder if the Emmys would willingly court controversy. Instead, I propose the Disney+ series “Agatha All Along“, an exceptional piece of MCU entertainment that, with the recent success of the Thunderbolts/new Avengers, warrants a fresh look now that people are reconsidering Marvel’s potential.
*Correction: the correct title for the upcoming Marvel series is “Thunderbolts”, not “Thunderbolts/new Avengers”.
Forecast: Tips, The Grizzly, Abbott Elementary School, Only Murders in this Apartment Building, The Creative Hub, No One Wants This Situation, What We Perform in the Shadows, The Four Seasons Hotel
Or, if you prefer a more conversational style:
Predictions: Here are some tips, I’ve been watching The Grizzly (a show), Abbott Elementary School (a series), Only Murders in this Building (another show), The Creative Hub (a place), No One Wants This predicament (a movie), What We Do in the Shadows (yet another show), and The Four Seasons Hotel (a hotel).
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
It’s highly probable that Jeremy Allen White is starring in “The Bear,” Seth Rogen in “The Studio,” and Martin Short in “Only Murders in the Building.
Available Opportunities:
– Steve Martin in “Only Murders in the Building”
– Adam Brody in “Nobody Wants This”
– Jason Segel in “Shrinking”
– Steve Carell in “The Four Seasons”
– Matt Berry in “What We Do in the Shadows”
– Kayvan Novak also in “What We Do in the Shadows”
– Luke Kirby in “Étoile
For Your Consideration:
Ted Danson, A Man on the Inside
Jeremy Allen White, the two-time consecutive winner, seems highly likely to receive another nomination. However, there’s speculation about whether the criticism towards “The Bear” might affect a potential third victory. If it does, could Seth Rogen be the one who benefits? While he’s hilarious in “The Studio”, awards voters haven’t traditionally shown much respect for him. (He was excellent in “Steve Jobs”, don’t forget!) For now, both Jeremy Allen White and Seth Rogen are safe in their nominations.
It’s quite intriguing to notice that many predictions for Emmy nominations this spring favor Martin Short over Steve Martin, despite the fact that some believe Steve Martin might have a better chance at winning. This disparity could be due to the recent surge in Martin Short’s media presence, largely attributed to his rumored romantic involvement with Meryl Streep. Just goes to show that powerful relationships can thrive at any age!
In this category, we’re anticipating six potential nominees. Given that Steve Martin is still expected to get nominated despite not being with the actress who has received the most Oscar nominations ever, it leaves us with two vacant spots. Previous Emmy voters have shown affection for Luke Kirby, having nominated him three times as a Guest Actor and once awarding him for his portrayal of Lenny Bruce on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. However, I don’t foresee Étoile making an appearance in this Emmy category. Matt Berry was nominated for the first time last year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if What We Do in the Shadows secures a farewell acting nomination; in fact, I believe Kayvan Novak could also be in contention… or they might end up cancelling each other’s votes.
To put it straight, my prediction leans towards two of Adam Brody, Jason Segel, and Steve Carell clinching the nominations. It feels like we’ve traveled back to 2006 with this lineup. Segel benefits from his prior nomination for Shrinking, while Brody has been recognized by Critics Choice, Golden Globe, and SAG for Nobody Wants This. Clearly, he has many supporters! Carell is relatively new to this category, given his role as a somewhat awkward divorcee in The Four Seasons, which premiered late. However, his impressive track record (seven acting nominations for The Office and The Morning Show) makes him hard to overlook. On the other hand, I can’t help but shed tears over the fact that Ted Danson, a 18-time nominee, isn’t getting more recognition for his charming portrayal of an older gentleman in A Man on the Inside. He’s truly outstanding!
Predictions: Jeremy Allen White, Seth Rogen, Martin Short, Steve Martin, Adam Brody, Jason Segel
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
It’s highly probable that Jean Smart from “Hacks”, Ayo Edebiri from “The Bear”, Quinta Brunson from “Abbott Elementary”, and Selena Gomez from “Only Murders in the Building” will continue their successful runs.
Open for grabs:
* Kristen Bell – Nobody Wants This
* Natasha Lyonne – Poker Face
* Uzo Aduba – The Residence
* Kathryn Hahn – Agatha All Along
* Tina Fey – The Four Seasons
* Natasia Demetriou – What We Do in the Shadows
For Your Consideration:
Bridget Everett, Somebody Somewhere
In the realm of Emmy Awards, Jean Smart is almost unbeatable right now, but let’s hold off on such discussions until after the nominations are announced. For the moment, it seems fairly certain that Jean Smart will win again, and she might be accompanied by Ayo Edebiri, Quinta Brunson (both previous Emmy winners), and Selena Gomez, who received her first acting nomination last year.
Just like her fellow actor Adam Brody, Kristen Bell has received several nominations prior to this one, indicating her popularity among voters. However, she’s up against some formidable competitors: Lyonne, who is a five-time nominee, including acting nods for Russian Doll, Orange Is the New Black, and two years ago, the first season of Poker Face. Her show also features a dedicated spotlight scene in every episode, much like her Orange Is the New Black co-star Uzo Aduba, a multiple Emmy winner whose unique detective character is always at the heart of the action on The Residence.
The main issue with Kathryn Hahn’s performance in “Agatha All Along” is that it faces more competition for recognition compared to Elizabeth Olsen’s Emmy-nominated role in “WandaVision”. While Hahn holds her own against formidable scene-stealer Patti LuPone, she shares the spotlight more. Meanwhile, Tina Fey, a frequent Emmy favorite, could potentially secure a nomination for her portrayal of an overly sarcastic city dweller in “The Four Seasons”. Additionally, Natasia Demetriou might not be far off from a belated nomination. If I were the one making the decisions, I would award a long-delayed nomination to Bridget Everett for her hilarious and heartfelt performance in “Somebody Somewhere”‘s final stretch.
Projections: Jean Smart, Ayo Edebiri, Quinta Brunson, Selena Gomez, Kristen Bell, and, let’s add, Natasia Demetriou will be featured.
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Very Likely:
Ebon Moss-Bachrach, The Bear
Paul W. Downs, Hacks
As a movie enthusiast, I’m currently eyeing some intriguing roles that have caught my attention:
1. Lionel Boyce in “The Bear”
2. Michael Urie in “Shrinking”
3. Harrison Ford, yes, the legendary Indiana Jones himself, also in “Shrinking”
4. Ike Barinholtz in “The Studio”
5. Timothy Simons in “Nobody Wants This”
6. Tyler James Williams in “Abbott Elementary”
7. Bowen Yang and Kenan Thompson, both from the iconic “Saturday Night Live”
8. Lastly, Marcello Hernandez and Brett Goldstein, also from “Saturday Night Live” and “Shrinking” respectively.
Each of these roles offers a unique opportunity to delve into compelling characters and stories that I’m eager to explore!
For Your Consideration:
Ted McGinley, Shrinking
Ebon Moss-Bachrach has won this award for the past two years, and while Cousin’s storyline in season three echoed themes from the first two seasons, I would still bet on him to win a third. This is mainly because Paul W. Downs’ character Jimmy isn’t as much of a secondary character in Hacks this season as he was last year. I’d still predict a second consecutive nomination for him.
In this particular category, I anticipate that the remaining five spots will be intensely contested. Last year, both Lionel Boyce and Tyler James Williams were nominated (with Williams being nominated for each of the first three seasons of “Abbott”), and they occupy similar roles on their respective shows, making the race for these coveted positions quite intense. Ike Barinholtz, who plays Seth Rogen’s more boisterous but potentially capable head of production in “The Studio,” has several standout moments that shine. An episode where he and Chase Sui Wonders compete for secondary roles is particularly hilarious. As for Timothy Simons, despite being consistently overlooked by the Emmys on “Veep,” he manages to steal scenes throughout the first season of “Nobody Wants This” as Adam Brody’s brother.
At events such as Saturday Night Live, there’s healthy competition – Bowen Yang has been nominated three out of the last four years, Kenan Thompson is the experienced veteran, and Marcello Hernandez gained popularity with his roles in “Domingo” and Shrinking. This situation is intriguing: One might expect a Hollywood legend like Harrison Ford to be a surefire nominee, but he was overlooked when the 2023 nominations were revealed, despite co-stars Jason Segel and Jessica Williams receiving nods. Since then, Michael Urie has been garnering attention from precursors (even winning at Critics Choice) for his performance as Segel’s self-assured yet anxious best friend. Additionally, Brett Goldstein, who plays the remorseful driver responsible for killing Segel’s wife in a recurring role, could sway votes due to his dual roles as co-creator of the show and a two-time winner in this category for Ted Lasso.
In contrast, I’ll be backing another cast member from the show “Shrinking”, and that’s none other than Ted McGinley. Known as a versatile actor on TV for four decades, he’s shed light on his character Derek, the seemingly simple-minded husband who actually understands more than he lets on. Despite having a reputation in the past as a “show killer” (he joined “Married… With Children” and it ran for an additional SEVEN seasons, go figure!), McGinley’s talent has always been undervalued. It’s high time to recognize his work with an Emmy nomination!
Anticipated Cast Members: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Paul W. Downs, Ike Barinholtz, Tyler James Williams, Michael Urie, and Harrison Ford
Expected Actors: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Paul W. Downs, Ike Barinholtz, Tyler James Williams, Michael Urie, and Harrison Ford (This version maintains the original’s more formal tone but in a clearer, easier-to-read format)

Patti LuPone – Agatha All Along
Linda Lavin – Mid-Century Modern
For Your Consideration:
Abby Elliott, The Bear
Could this potentially be Hannah Einbinder’s triumphant year? To be honest, I have high hopes, but I must admit I’ve been mistaken before. The defending champion Liza Colón-Zayas and the 2022 champ Sheryl Lee Ralph are both aware of my sentiments. If it were up to me, I would confidently include all three in the nominees list. Unlike last year, when I underestimated Colón-Zayas, this time I will be keeping a close eye on her performance, especially since she was given a prominent spotlight episode in The Bear‘s third season.
In a tight race for three available spots, the competition heats up swiftly. Janelle James has consistently earned Emmy nominations for her work in “Abbott,” and Ava delivers each episode. Meanwhile, Jessica Williams was previously nominated for “Shrinking” in 2023, and I believe she had an even more impressive season two; both are strong contenders. Additionally, Catherine O’Hara remains a formidable competitor if she can overcome the nomination barrier—it largely depends on voters who prefer “The Studio” not favoring Kathryn Hahn or Chase Sui Wonders instead.
Apart from Meryl Streep, who else might manage to join this group of six nominees? Last year, Meryl was nominated, but her role in “Only Murders” this season was relatively minor. If the voters found the show’s foray into Hollywood particularly appealing compared to my own opinion, they could also consider Molly Shannon or Jane Lynch, both of whom gave outstanding performances; however, I believe the competition is quite intense this year.
If Emmy voters fancy dressing up as Tony Award voters, they could undeniably cast their votes in favor of Patti LuPone from Agatha All Along, whose standout episode is arguably the season’s finest, or Linda Lavin from Hulu’s Mid-Century Modern. Sadly, Lavin passed away during the production of the first season. Her heartfelt farewell in the show seems like a tribute, hinting that a posthumous Emmy nomination would make amends for the fact that she was only nominated once for Alice.
Two captivating figures to watch are Megan Stalter from Hacks and Justine Lupe from Nobody Wants This. Megan Stalter is currently the talk of Tinseltown; she’ll be gracing our screens later this summer in Lena Dunham’s highly anticipated series, Too Much. On the other hand, Justine Lupe continues to stand out among a select few members of the Succession cast who weren’t recognized by Emmy voters. In Nobody Wants This, she brings a unique character to life as Kristen Bell’s complex sister with a hidden goodness – she’s ‘Nobody’, but she’s making quite an impact, potentially setting herself up for an Emmy nod in the future.
I’m choosing to advocate for an unexpected decision this time around. I’ve been frustrated in the past when the Emmys have tended to honor shows or actors a year after they truly deserved it (for example, Julianna Margulies losing to Kyra Sedgwick for The Closer and then winning the next year for The Good Wife; Jodie Comer being overlooked entirely for the first season of Killing Eve before eventually winning the next year). Despite Abby Elliott’s exceptional performance on The Bear last year, with Natalie shouldering a significant amount of management responsibilities at the restaurant, she was surprisingly left out of the nominations. If given the chance, I’d re-nominate her this year to make a statement. There’s a possibility that Natalie will have a baby storyline in season three, and history has shown that Emmy voters tend to favor such narratives.
Forecast: Hannah Einbinder, Liza Colón-Zayas, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Janelle James, Jessica Williams, Catherine O’Hara are expected to appear.

For Your Consideration:
Presumed Innocent (Apple TV+)
As a film enthusiast, I’m anticipating that, similar to last year, Netflix might face stiff competition in the Drama and Comedy categories but may shine brightly in the Limited Series category. Unlike some of the lighter, quirky series like “Baby Reindeer”, the upcoming “Adolescence” is a more somber production. It employs a unique single-take format for its episodes, though it doesn’t push the boundaries as radically as “Baby Reindeer” did by breaking the fourth wall.
However, “Adolescence” shares with “Baby Reindeer” a deep engagement with significant subject matter. The story of a young English boy, wrongly accused of murdering a female classmate, is heart-wrenching and powerfully executed. It’s challenging to envision any of the other series outperforming it, despite their individual merits.
“The Penguin” proved to be an impressive DC superhero spinoff, transitioning seamlessly into a gritty crime drama filled with the mob, unexpected turns, and deceitful alliances. Similarly, Elizabeth Meriwether’s adaptation of the podcast “Dying for Sex” offered a sharp, humorous, and heartfelt examination of our collective fascinations with sex and mortality.
Apart from those three series, it’s a chaotic scene. Alfonso Cuarón’s Disclaimer, with its high anticipation due to the collaboration of two-time Oscar-winning director and actress Cate Blanchett, has been watched by few beyond obligation. Ryan Murphy consistently produces shows that critics find unappealing yet receive Emmy recognition. The first season of Monster, centered around the Jeffrey Dahmer murders, garnered 13 nominations in 2023 and tied with Beef as Netflix’s most nominated show that year. The second season explores the Menendez brothers’ murder of their parents, a production that is loud, aggressive, and presents the case from various angles simultaneously, which can either be seen as bold or confusing. However, in a weak year for Limited Series, I believe Monsters could be a strong contender.
You’d expect the FX show Say Nothing, which follows two sisters growing up while serving in the Irish Republican Army, to gain significant popularity given its quality. However, it appears that Disney has let it slip away. On the other hand, Apple’s series Dope Thief, focusing on a narcotics heist that expands into something more substantial, is a gritty, straightforward show that could thrive in a year filled with flashy and less substantive content.
Currently, Netflix is following its usual pattern by releasing an abundance of B and C-level shows that seem to be competing with each other. For instance, “Zero Day” tackles geopolitical crises, while “Apple Cider Vinegar” seems stuck in 2022 with a wellness-focused narrative inspired by real events. The latest season of “Black Mirror” attempts to present itself as a series of short films. The beach-read series, “The Perfect Couple” and “Sirens”, appear to be sequels of “The White Lotus” for those who prefer less engagement. Given that “The Perfect Couple” can’t just rely on its opening credits, I’d slightly favor “Sirens” in this face-off.
Additionally, if we find ourselves searching for suitable nominees, let me kindly bring to the attention of Emmy voters that Apple TV+’s “Presumed Innocent” was broadcast during the current Emmy eligibility window. Although there are rumors of a second season, it will be submitted in the Limited Series category. I found it impressive when it first aired, and after a year of mostly unimpressive limited series, I appreciate it even more now.
1. Forecasts: Teenage Years, The Penguin Chronicles, Obsessed with Mating, Monstrous Tales: The Menendez Brothers Story, Drug Smuggler
Explanation: I’ve tried to maintain the same tone and structure as your original titles while making them more natural and easy to read. Here’s a breakdown of each
1. Adolescence (Teenage Years): This is a general term for the period between childhood and adulthood, which is often associated with teenagers.
2. The Penguin (The Penguin Chronicles): I replaced “Dying” with “Chronicles” to give a sense of a story or series about penguins.
3. Dying for Sex (Obsessed with Mating):
4. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (Monstrous Tales: The Menendez Brothers Story): I changed “The” to “Monstrous Tales” to give a sense of horror or crime stories, and added “Brothers” for clarity.
5. Dope Thief (Drug Smuggler): I replaced “Thief” with “Smuggler” to better convey the idea of illegal drug trafficking.
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie
It is highly probable that Colin Farrell will portray The Penguin, Stephen Graham will take on the role of Adolescence, and Cooper Koch will be featured in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
Open Opportunities:
– Brian Tyree Henry in “Dope Thief”
– Robert De Niro in “Zero Day”
– Nicholas Alexander Chavez in “Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez”
– Kevin Kline in “Disclaimer”
– Jake Gyllenhaal in “Presumed Innocent”
– Leo Woodall in “Prime Target”
– Paul Giamatti in “Black Mirror”
These roles are up for grabs, with Brian Tyree Henry taking on the role of a Dope Thief, Robert De Niro appearing in Zero Day, Nicholas Alexander Chavez starring in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Kevin Kline in Disclaimer, Jake Gyllenhaal in Presumed Innocent, Leo Woodall in Prime Target, and Paul Giamatti in Black Mirror.
For Your Consideration:
Aaron Pierre, Rebel Ridge
I’d advise not to fret over Colin Farrell, Stephen Graham, or Cooper Koch. Their talents are undeniable, but during the post-nomination debate, factors like nationality (Irish, English) and past associations (former Calvin Klein model) could potentially influence who gets an Emmy.
As a devoted admirer, I often ponder the Emmy nominations process and wonder about certain selections – or lack thereof. For instance, does Robert De Niro truly require an Emmy nod for the unremarkable series “Zero Day”? Perhaps not. Is Kevin Kline’s recognition for “Disclaimer” going to compensate for his overlooked Oscar chance for the delightful “Dave”? Highly improbable. Does a nomination for Paul Giamatti in a “Black Mirror” episode hold more weight than his iconic stunt of spending an entire “Chris Gethard Show” episode hidden within a dumpster? By no means. However, I firmly believe that Jake Gyllenhaal deserves an Emmy nomination for “Presumed Innocent”, and the Tony snub for “Othello” could certainly use some recognition.
In terms of recognition, the Emmys might consider Brian Tyree Henry’s standout performance in “Dope Thief”, which has already earned a Gotham nomination. Similarly, Leo Woodall, riding on the success of his role in “White Lotus”, could potentially secure a nomination for his portrayal as a mathematician entangled in global mysteries within Apple’s “Prime Target”.
Apart from Cooper Koch’s onscreen sibling, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, shouldn’t be overlooked either. While Lyle was less likable among the two brothers, Chavez delivered an intense performance with his drug-fueled antics, which added a unique element to the show. Notably, Chavez is a Daytime Emmy award winner, indicating he has a strong background in acting.
In my humble opinion, it’s high time I advocate for Aaron Pierre, the captivating lead of Netflix’s production that we’re labeling as a TV movie titled “Rebel Ridge.” Typically, acting in TV movies can be overshadowed when placed alongside limited series, but Pierre’s portrayal of an innocent man wrongly accused by a corrupt police empire is simply outstanding and deserving of careful consideration.
Estimates: Colin Farrell, Stephen Graham, Cooper Koch, Brian Tyree Henry, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez
Forecast: Colin Farrell, Stephen Graham, Cooper Koch, Brian Tyree Henry, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez are likely to appear in the production.
Anticipated Cast: Colin Farrell, Stephen Graham, Cooper Koch, Brian Tyree Henry, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez will possibly be part of this project.
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie
Very Likely:
Cristin Milioti, The Penguin
Michelle Williams, Dying for Sex
Available for Acquisition:
* Renée Zellweger, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
* Cate Blanchett, Disclaimer
* Kaitlyn Dever, Apple Cider Vinegar
* Uzo Aduba, The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat (shared with Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor)
* Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat (shared with Uzo Aduba)
* Ellen Pompeo, Good American Family
* Meghann Fahy, Sirens
For Your Consideration
Ari Graynor, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story
Milioti and Williams are expected to have a very close competition for the Emmy Award, along with my personal choice of three other actresses. Despite Cate Blanchett’s renowned reputation, her latest project, Disclaimer, seems to be losing steam. Similarly, Ellen Pompeo’s highly anticipated Hulu miniseries, Good American Family, about the Natalia Grace case, has failed to gain traction. However, we’re focusing on some reliable Emmy contenders. Kaitlyn Dever, who was nominated in 2022 for her role in Dopesick, will be adding to her repertoire this year with performances in The Last of Us and Apple Cider Vinegar. She plans to submit herself as a guest actress for the former series, and her captivating performance there could significantly boost her portrayal in the latter as a charlatan peddling wellness products (accentuated by an impressive Australian accent).
Previously, I mentioned that actors from TV movies often struggle in acting categories, but given the widespread acclaim for Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and Renée Zellweger’s iconic portrayal of the character, it’s likely that Emmy voters will be attracted to her anyway. The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat is another TV movie aiming for recognition, featuring a trio of leading performances by Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Uzo Aduba, and Sanaa Lathan as three longtime friends. Although I believe she’d excel in the supporting actress category, Ari Graynor delivers an outstanding performance as attorney Leslie Abramson in Monsters, arguably her best work yet. The show’s highly praised episode where Erik narrates his harrowing tale in a two-person scene with Graynor holding her own admirably.
Forecast: Cristin Milioti, Michelle Williams, Renee Zellweger, Kaitlyn Dever, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor are potential candidates.
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie
Very Likely:
Owen Cooper, Adolescence
Javier Bardem, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story
Up for Grabs:
* Rob Delaney’s “Dying for Sex”
* Ashley Walters’ “Adolescence”
* Rhenzy Feliz’s “The Penguin”
* Peter Sarsgaard’s “Presumed Innocent”
* Diego Luna’s “La Máquina”
* Nathan Lane’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”
* Don Johnson’s “Rebel Ridge
For Your Consideration
O-T Fagbenle, Presumed Innocent
It seems Cooper is strongly favored to win this award, and deservedly so, given his portrayal of the teenage killer in “Adolescence”, while Javier Bardem delivers an intense performance in “Monsters”. With their nominations confirmed, I’d like to explore the supporting casts of other notable limited series of the year.
Rob Delaney is both seductive and supportive in “Dying for Sex”, a show that fully capitalizes on the potential he demonstrated in “Catastrophe”. On the other hand, Rhenzy Feliz shines as an apprentice to a criminal in “The Penguin”, and Ashley Walters takes center stage in an episode of “Adolescence” where he portrays a police investigator grappling with a senseless murder and his estranged, troubled son.
On the outskirts, should viewers recall the novel ‘Presumed Innocent’, they might lean towards Peter Sarsgaard’s captivating portrayal of the villainous prosecutor. Yet, I would argue equally for O-T Fagbenle, portraying another antagonist with a political slant in the series, due to his uniquely peculiar vocal performance. Furthermore, I would caution against undervaluing Nathan Lane’s performance as the intriguing reporter Dominick Dunne in ‘Monsters’, as it subtly evolves into something moving.
Forecast: Owen Cooper, Jaime Bardem, Ashley Walters, Robert Delaney, Nathan Laner, Peter Sarsgaard, and Rhenzy Feliz
Or
Expected Appearances: Owen Cooper, Jamie Bardem (Javier Bardem), Ashley Walters, Rob Delaney, Nathan Lane, Peter Sarsgaard, and Rhenzy Feliz
Or
Projected Cast: Owen Cooper, Jaime Bardem (Javier Bardem), Ashley Walters, Robert Delaney, Nathan Laner (Nathan Lane), Peter Sarsgaard, and Rhenzy Feliz
Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie
Very Likely:
Erin Doherty, Adolescence
Deirdre O’Connell, The Penguin
Jenny Slate, Dying for Sex
Open for Seizing:
Sissy Spacek, Longing for Intimacy
Chloë Sevigny, The Lyle and Erik Menendez Murder Story
Julianne Moore, Enchantresses
Ruth Negga, Assumed Innocent
Cristin Milioti, Black Mirror Reflections
Emma Thompson, Bridget Jones: Obsessed with the Boy
AnnaSophia Robb, Rebel Heights
For Your Consideration
Paula Pell, Dying for Sex
In the television series Adolescence, Doherty excels as the court-appointed psychologist, serving as the show’s anchor in its third episode – arguably the strongest of the four. She has a strong chance of receiving an Emmy for her performance, facing stiff competition from theater actress Deirdre O’Connell, who portrays the cunning and manipulative mother of Oz in The Penguin, and Jenny Slate, who could potentially become the most intriguing character in Dying for Sex.
In a twist that’s common for The Emmys, Cristin Milioti could receive another nomination in the Supporting Actress category for her performance in Black Mirror. Julianne Moore delivers a captivating portrayal of a potentially sinister cult leader in Sirens. Chloë Sevigny offers a mix of expected and unexpected performances as a troubled mother in Monsters. Sissy Spacek shines in Dying for Sex, where she plays Michelle Williams’s regretful mother to perfection. Paula Pell, who usually falls under the guest star category due to her appearances at the end of Dying for Sex, may need to be nominated in Supporting instead, considering there are no guest stars in limited series. Lastly, Ruth Negga takes on a particularly intriguing role in Presumed Innocent, especially in how the TV show alters the movie’s final act.
Forecast: Erin Doherty, Deirdre O’Connell, Jenny Slate, Sissy Spacek, Ruth Negga, Chloe Sevigny, and Cristin Milioti are predicted to be in the cast.
