Emmy Predictions 2024: Here’s Who Will Win

On Sunday we might be celebrating the winners of the 76th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, the second time this yr after January’s strike-delayed seventy fifth Emmys, however we all know the outcomes might be, a minimum of partially, fairly completely different (properly possibly not for The Bear). So right here is my stab at predicting simply who these winners might be.

OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES

With solely The Crown getting back from the lineup right here simply eight months in the past, what may need been a contemporary, extensive open race now appears completely predictable when it comes to a runaway winner. After already setting a record for a single season sequence with 14 wins finally weekend’s Artistic Arts ceremonies, FX’s Shogun with 25 nominations general to guide this yr’s listing of nominees will definitely prevail right here, proof that FX’s final minute transfer from Restricted Sequence to Drama Sequence will repay large time.

THE WINNER: SHOGUN

OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES

Coming off a primary season with a formidable 10 Emmys, and now already seven wins finally weekend’s Artistic Arts, FX’s The Bear seems set to have a really large evening. However the race might be aggressive as HBO/Max’s third season of Hacks is broadly thought of its finest and appears poised for a potential upset. In truth with the final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, the rising recognition of Solely Murders In The Constructing, and Abbott Elementary, this class is definitely a race, however finally just one present has the mojo.

THE WINNER: THE BEAR

OUTSTANDING LIMITED OR ANTHOLOGY SERIES

Two staples and previous winners within the class, True Detective and Fargo, are again within the hunt as the 2 main nomination getters with 19 and 15 nods respectively. Nonetheless, it appears extra possible that Netflix with both Child Reindeer, the most important sensation of the season within the class, or the attractive Black & White Ripley, may be extra potential as each gained a number of Emmys on the Artistic Arts. That may imply now we have an actual contest right here. My hunch is to go together with Steven Zaillian’s exquisitely-made adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s The Gifted Mr. Ripley over the extra talked-about Child Reindeer.

THE WINNER: RIPLEY

LEAD ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES

With The Morning Present’s Jennifer Aniston going straight in opposition to co-star Reese Witherspoon, the likelihood is excessive that they cancel one another out. A with Shogun’s Anna Sawai the one one from that juggernaut on this class I believe she will get a bonus — though Mr. And Mrs. Smith’s Maya Erskine might be an upset victor.

THE WINNER: ANNA SAWAI, SHOGUN

LEAD ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES

Shogun is prone to proceed its sweep with star Hiroyuki Sanada a victor right here, however the extremely revered Gary Oldman, lastly nominated for Sluggish Horses, may simply break his momentum. Emmy favourite for Mr. And Mrs. Smith Donald Glover would possibly consider as properly.

THE WINNER: HIROYUKI SANADA , SHOGUN

LEAD ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES

Quinta Brunson took this prize in January for Abbott Elementary however Jean Good, who had gained for each earlier seasons of Hacks, was not eligible. Now she is again for the third, competing not simply in opposition to that one current Emmy winner, Brunson, but in addition one other winner from January, The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, who this time has bumped up from supporting to guide.

THE WINNER: JEAN SMART, HACKS

LEAD ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES

It’s the final likelihood to offer Larry David the prize after 12 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm and there appears to be assist for a Martin Quick victory for Solely Murders In The Constructing, however the way in which Emmy voters typically work is to repeat. Which means The Bear will proceed an excellent evening.

THE WINNER: JEREMY ALLEN WHITE, THE BEAR

LEAD ACTRESS IN A LIMITED OR ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR MOVIE

A troublesome class to name. You possibly can give a convincing argument for Brie Larson, Juno Temple, Sofia Vergara and Naomi Watts, however icon Jodie Foster, so good in True Detective: Evening Nation, has remarkably by no means gained an Emmy. This yr, that can change.

THE WINNER: JODIE FOSTER TRUE DETECTIVE: NIGHT COUNTRY

LEAD ACTOR IN A LIMITED OR ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR MOVIE

That is actually arduous to name. Jon Hamm has two nominations this yr, and he was broadly praised for Fargo, as was Andrew Scott for his chilling Ripley, and Tom Hollander’s Truman Capote in Feud: Capote vs. The Swans gained plaudits. Richard Gadd made headlines — and controversy — with Child Reindeer, however for some cause I believe this might be Bomer’s evening. Only a hunch as this might actually go any which manner.

THE WINNER: MATT BOMER FELLOW TRAVELERS

SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES

With 4 girls competing in opposition to one another from The Morning Present, there’s a lane for Elizabeth Debicki to go co-star Lesley Manville enjoying Princess Diana so heartbreakingly in The Crown.

THE WINNER: ELIZABETH DEBICKI, THE CROWN

SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES

Two from Shogun plus a few strong performers from The Crown and Sluggish Horses in a formidable class that basically comes right down to which of the three nominees from The Morning Present will take it: Jon Hamm, Mark Duplass or Billy Crudup. All three are deserving. Crudup has gained earlier than and he possible will once more.

THE WINNER: BILLY CRUDUP THE MORNING SHOW

SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES

Veteran Carol Burnett may tempt voters along with her flip in Palm Royale, as would possibly Meryl Streep, no much less, in Solely Murders In The Constructing, however Hannah Einbinder had such a powerful yr, it is going to be hers.

THE WINNER: HANNAH EINBINDER, HACKS

SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES

The contenders right here comprise a powerful lineup, however pattern-voting will prevail. Final yr’s winner, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, will repeat.

THE WINNER: EBON MOSS-BACHRACH, THE BEAR

SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A LIMITED OR ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR MOVIE

So many terrific performances right here to select from, however anticipate the extraordinary Kali Reis to hitch co-star Jodie Foster within the winners circle.

THE WINNER: KALI REIS TRUE DETECTIVE: NIGHT COUNTRY

SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A LIMITED OR ANTHOLOGY SERIES OR MOVIE

Robert Downey Jr. may be part of the uncommon membership of profitable each an Oscar and Emmy in the identical yr, however his present, The Sympathizer, doesn’t have the excitement right here. There may be sentimentality for the late Deal with Williams, however I might be stunned if anybody by Jonathan Bailey takes this one house.

THE WINNER: JONATHAN BAILEY, FELLOW TRAVELERS

TALK SERIES

Three conventional late evening sequence battle it out in opposition to the as soon as and future champ, The Each day Present, which has all the excitement with Jon Stewart’s triumphant return in a Presidential election yr.

THE WINNER: THE DAILY SHOW

SCRIPTED VARIETY SERIES

Because it was final yr, this class boils right down to John Oliver vs Saturday Evening Dwell.

THE WINNER: LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER
