Next Sunday, September 15, is the 76th Emmy Awards. We’re taking a look at the actors and actresses nominated in every category—drama, comedy, and limited series—and analyzing who has the best chance of winning. Some awards seem pretty clear-cut, like Jeremy Allen White by The bear or that of Jessica Gunning by My stuffed reindeer. The rest is a mystery. In this edition, there are no clear favorites, except in the comedy series section (it will surely sweep The bear) so many surprises await us. From OKDIARIO we create a pool with everything that the most important night of American television can offer. Names as powerful as Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman either Jodie Foster Do they have any possibilities?
Actors and actresses playing in drama series
After the end of Succession (which swept all the drama categories for years) anything can happen at this year’s Emmy Awards. Let’s first look at the nominees for best lead actor:
- Idris Elbe divert
- Donald Glover, Mr. and Mrs. Smith
- Walton Glasses To fall
- Gary Oldman Slow horses
- Hiroyuki Sanada Shogun
- Dominique West The Crown
In this category, it may be that today the one with the most ballots to win the prize is Walton Glasses by Fallout. A racial actor who has established himself as a supporting actor for decades and who with this Prime Video wonder has done an impressive job thanks to a complex and difficult character. He deserves it. A second option could be to Donald Glover by Mr. and Mrs. Smithespecially because he is a highly regarded artist in the industry.
As for the leading actresses in a drama series, here are the nominees:
- Jennifer Aniston, The Morning Show
- Carrie Coon, The Golden Age
- Maya Erskine, Mr. and Mrs. Smith
- Anna Sawai, Shogun
- Imelda Staunton, The Crown
- Reese Witherspoon The Morning Show
It’s hard to position yourself here, anything can happen. Even if the favorite drama series is Shogun, The fact that much of the footage is in Japanese can have negative consequences, especially for the actors. Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston both deserve the Emmy, but being in the same series, the votes can be split and tied. Despite all this, it may be that the one who currently has the most options is Carrie Coon by The Golden Age. She is the best in the series.
Supporting theatre actors and actresses
For supporting actors in a drama series, the nominees are:
- Tadanobu Asano, Shogun
- Billy Crudup The Morning Show
- Marc Duplass, The Morning Show
- Jon Hamm, The Morning Show
- Takehiro Hira, Shogun
- Jack Lowden Slow horses
- Jonathan Pryce The Crown
Maybe Billy Crudup win the award again for the same role he already played in the first season of The Morning Show (especially because in the third one, his role is even more complex) but I would bet on Tadanobu Asano In Shogun.
The nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series are:
- Christine Baranski, The Golden Age
- Nicole Béharie The Morning Show
- Elisabeth Debicki, The Crown
- Greta Lee, The Morning Show
- Lesley Manville, The Crown
- Karen Pittman, The Morning Show
- Holland Taylor, The Morning Show
My heart will always be with Christine Baranski by The Golden Age But if this woman never took him for his role in The Good WifeI doubt I’ll do it now. I’ll probably be on stage that night. Elizabeth Debicki for playing Lady Di in The Crown. Be careful with it though Nicole Béharie by The Morning Show since he plays in one of the best episodes of the year.
Leading Comedy Actors
The actors named as protagonists of a comedy series are:
Matt Barry What we do in the shadows
Larry David, Limit your enthusiasm
Steve Martin, Only murders in the building
Martin Court, Only murders in the building
Jeremy Allen White The bear
D’Pharoah Wonn-A-Tai, Reservation dogs
There is no doubt. Jeremy Allen White will win The Bear Emmy again, especially considering that in this second season his work increases compared to the first.
As for the actresses, those are the options.
Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary School
Ayo Edebiri, The bear
Selena Gomez, Only murders in the building
Maya Rudolph, Booty
Jean Smart, Tips
Kristen Wiig Royal Palm
One more year, the Emmy will return to Ayo Edebiri by The bear. I wish you would win Selena Gomez? Sure, but it’s difficult for him.
Supporting comedy actors and actresses
The nominees for supporting roles in a comedy are:
- Lionel Boyce The bear
- Paul W. Downs, Tips
- Ebony moss-Bachrach, The bear
- Paul Rudd, Only murders in the building
- Tyler James Williams Abbott Elementary School
- Bowen Yang, Saturday night live
Maybe repeat Ebony Moss-Bachrach by TheBear. Paul Rudd did a great job at Only murders in the building but it doesn’t have many possibilities.
Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series is more hotly contested. These are the nominees.
- Carol Burnett, Royal Palm
- Liza Colon-Zayas, The bear
- Hannah Einbinder, Tips
- Janelle James, Abbott Elementary School
- Sheryl Lee Ralph, Abbott Elementary School
- Meryl Streep Only murders in the building
I would give the Emmy to all of them, without exception. It is true that having Meryl Streep in the list, it seems to unbalance things but, among everything, I still have Liza Colon-Zayas by The Bear.
Main actors and actresses in a mini-series
This is my favorite part of the Emmys. It’s always packed with big names who play a role in a limited series and are usually the most memorable of the year. As for the actors, here are the nominees:
- Matt Bomer, Travel companions
- Richard Gadd My stuffed reindeer
- Jon Hamm, fargo
- Tom Hollander, Quarrel: Condom vs. The Swans
- Andrew Scott, Ripley
These are all brutal interpretations but I think the duel is between Richard Gadd by My stuffed reindeer And Andrew Scott, Ripley. The first has to its credit the fact that the series was a social phenomenon but the second tackles a mythical character who is very difficult to create and nails it. As a third option, we would have Tom Hollander for Quarrel: Condom vs. The SwansThe way the actor integrated himself into Truman Capote is wonderful.
On the actress side, here are the nominees:
- Jodie Foster True Detective: Night Country
- Brie Larson Chemistry lessons
- Temple of Juno fargo
- Sofia Vergara, Griselda
- Naomi Watts Quarrel: Condom vs. The Swans
My fantasy is that he takes it Sofia Vergara by Griselda. In her favor, she has the great transformation of the character and the fact that she is a highly regarded actress in the industry who has taken a big turn in her career. The problem is that the series has not gotten many more nominations. He will surely end up going out to get his Emmy. Jodie Foster. He deserves it.
Supporting Actors and Actresses in a Limited Series
Supporting actors in this category are:
- Jonathan Bailey Travel companions
- Robert Downey Jr., The sympathizer
- Tom Goodman-Hill, My stuffed reindeer
- John HawkesTrue Detective: Night Country
- Lamorne MorrisFargo
- Lewis Pullman Chemistry lessons
- Treat Williams, Quarrel: Condom vs. The Swans
In this section the duel should take place between John Hawkes by True Detective: Night Country And Jonathan Bailey by Travel companions (I bet on the first one)
As for the supporting actresses, the candidates are:
- Dakota Fanning Ripley
- Lily Gladstone under the bridge
- Jessica Gunning My stuffed reindeer
- Aha Naomi King, Chemistry lessons
- Diane Lane Quarrel: Condom vs. The Swans
- Nava Mau, My stuffed reindeer
- Kali King, True Detective: Night Country
Don’t let him take it Jessica Gunning by My stuffed reindeer It would be as surprising as it would be scandalous.
