Emmy Predictions: Lead Actress (Limited/TV Movie) — Jodie Foster Competes for First Win, While Sofia Vergara Picks Up Steam

As a seasoned television enthusiast with over two decades of watching and analyzing shows under my belt, I can confidently say that the Primetime Emmy Awards are the pinnacle of television recognition. Having grown up in front of the TV, I’ve seen it all – from the black-and-white days to the digital age.


Weekly Update (Posted: Aug. 12, 2024): Jodie Foster is a strong contender to receive her first Emmy for her role in the crime anthology series “True Detective: Night Country,” given that it garnered an impressive 19 nominations. Nevertheless, there’s a possibility of an unexpected choice emerging.

Sofia Vergara received her first nomination for a leading actress Emmy, recognizing her portrayal of Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco in Netflix’s crime-thriller series “Griselda.” This marks a historic milestone as she becomes the first Colombian-born actress and second Latina actress to be nominated in this category for a limited series. Previously, Vergara had been nominated four times for her supporting role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on ABC’s “Modern Family.” Despite several nominations by the TV Academy, she hasn’t yet received an Emmy. Many experts think she deserves at least one award during this time, and there’s speculation that 2021 could be her year to win. It wouldn’t be surprising if Vergara takes home the statue this time around.

Over the evenings of September 7th and 8th, we’ll witness the Creative Arts and Governors Gala ceremonies taking place. Meanwhile, tune in to ABC on Sunday, the 15th of September, for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards.
