Emmy Predictions: Supporting Actress (Drama) — Could Leslie Manville Pull Off an Olivia Colman Surprise Win Over Her Co-Star Elizabeth Debicki?

As a long-time aficionado of the small screen, I eagerly await the Primetime Emmy Awards each year. With over three decades of television-watching under my belt, I’ve come to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating compelling dramas, laugh-out-loud comedies, and thought-provoking documentaries.


Weekly Analysis (Last Updated: Aug. 19, 2024): Acting performances in all six seasons of Netflix’s royal series “The Crown” have exhibited a range of unexpected developments.

In 2017, Claire Foy, playing Queen Elizabeth II, was expected to take home the award but instead lost to Elisabeth Moss from “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The only acting prize that year went to John Lithgow, who portrayed Winston Churchill in the series.

In 2018, Foy claimed her initial trophy, with director Stephen Daldry also receiving an accolade. In 2020, Olivia Colman, who replaced Foy as Queen Elizabeth in the later seasons of the show, was predicted to win, given her Oscar victory for “The Favourite” in 2019. However, Zendaya made history by winning the award for “Euphoria,” edging out Colman.

2021 saw an unprecedented triumph by the series, claiming victory in all significant Emmy categories – a feat never before accomplished by a drama. However, an unexpected turn of events unfolded as Gillian Anderson (Colman) edged out Emma Corrin, who had portrayed Princess Diana. Despite Corrin’s wins at the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards for her role, Colman’s triumph came as a surprise.

In 2024, there’s a strong indication that the usual order might be disrupted. Elizabeth Debicki, who was nominated in 2023 for her portrayal of Princess Diana and has won Critics Choice, Golden Globe, and SAG awards for the final season, could cause an upset in televised awards. A hint may lie in the writing category, where Peter Morgan and Meriel Sheibani-Clare were nominated for the episode “Ritz” instead of the anticipated series finale, “Sleep, Dearie Sleep.” The episode “Ritz,” which focuses on Princess Margaret and features a powerful performance by Lesley Manville culminating in a deeply emotional climax, is considered by many to be the season’s finest episode. Notably, this is the episode that Manville has officially submitted for consideration. Given her previous Oscar nomination for “Phantom Thread” (2017), there’s a possibility that Manville could secure her first Emmy nod with an unexpected win.

If voters decide to split their votes between “The Crown” and “The Morning Show,” it could create an opportunity for Christine Baranski from HBO’s “The Gilded Age” to win. Baranski, who previously won in 1995 for her role in the comedy “Cybill,” is now nominated again for her sixteenth time, potentially earning her a second trophy.

I’m thrilled to share that the Creative Arts and Governors Gala events are set for September 7th and 8th. Moreover, I can’t wait for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, which will grace our screens on ABC on the 15th of September!
