71st Primetime Emmy Awards Predictions
This Sunday will be the 71stPrimetime Emmy Awards and in its final season, Game of Thrones dominated the nominations. The HBO drama landed a record 32 nominations,setting the record for the most noms for a show in a single year. HBO also earned 137 nominations topping its own record for most noms for a network in a single year (it landed 126 in 2015). As we all know about the final season of Thrones, it wasn’t that good, but here we are. Let’s get down to business as I bring you my predictions on who’ll win in the major categories.
· Outstanding Comedy Series
- Barry
- Fleabag
- The Good Place
- The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
- Russian Doll
- Schitt’s Creek
- Veep
- What Will Win: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
- What Should Win: This, for me, is a close race between Barry andThe Good Place. They’ve both had outstanding seasons, both equally deserved of the recognition they’re receiving, but the Academy loves Maisel.The Good Placeshould win as Barry can win one another year. In it’s upcoming final season, The Good Place will show why it truly is one of the best shows today. I’m also still a little pissed that Mrs. Maisel won over Atlanta last year.
· Outstanding Drama Series
- Better Call Saul
- Bodyguard
- Game of Thrones
- Killing Eve
- Ozark
- Pose
- Succession
- This Is Us
- What Will Win: Game of Thrones
- What Should Win: GOT sucked this season. We can all agree on that. It shouldn’t win this award at all. The sleeper here is Pose. It had a critically-acclaimed season. For me, I think Ozark will walk away with the trophy. The sophomore season was phenomenal even better than the first. Not many talked about it and more should.
· Outstanding Limited Series
- Chernobyl
- Escape at Dannemora
- Fosse/Verdon
- Sharp Objects
- When They See Us
- What Will Win: When They See Us
- What Should Win: This is a three horse between Chernobyl, Sharp Objects, and When They See Us. This is hands down the toughest race I’ve seen in a long time. Chernobyl was equal parts amazing and disturbing. Sharp Objects was just a great character study in the mind of a mother not wanting to let go. When They See Uswas a tour de force! It came in like a tidal wave and opened many eyes to what black people have known all along. Every time you watch it, you can’t be help but be disgusted and ask yourself, “WHY?”
· Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
- Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones
- Jodie Comer, Killing Eve
- Viola Davis, How To Get Away With Murder
- Laura Linney, Ozark
- Mandy Moore, This Is Us
- Sandra Oh, Killing Eve
- Robin Wright, House Of Cards
- Who Will Win: I honestly have no clue.
- Who Should Win: As long as it’s not Emilia Clarke. Like I said earlier, Game of Throneswasn’t good in its final season. I’d actually be fine with any one of these women winning.
· Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
- Jason Bateman, Ozark
- Sterling K. Brown, This Is Us
- Kit Harington, Game of Thrones
- Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul
- Billy Porter, Pose
- Milo Ventimiglia, This Is Us
- Who Will Win: Billy Porter
- Who Should Win: Billy Porteris taking this home. I don’t know what else needs to be said. Sometimes when you don’t know the answer, you just go with your gut.
· Outstanding Supporting Actor in A Drama Series
- Alfie Allen, Game of Thrones
- Jonathan Banks, Better Call Saul
- Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Game of Thrones
- Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
- Giancarlo Esposito, Better Call Saul
- Michael Kelly, House of Cards
- Chris Sullivan, This Is Us
- Who Will Win: Peter Dinklage
- Who Should Win: Throughout it all, the one consistent on Game of Thrones has been Peter Dinklage. Although it wasn’t good, that’s not to say that the acting was bad, and that is definitely true of Peter Dinklage. His acting has helped carry the series through the good and bad, and he deserves all of the credit in the world.
· Outstanding Supporting Actress in A Drama Series
- Gwendoline Christie, Game of Thrones
- Julia Garner, Ozark
- Lena Headey, Game of Thrones
- Fiona Shaw, Killing Eve
- Sophie Turner, Game of Thrones
- Maisie Williams, Game of Thrones
- Who Will Win: This is another grouping where I don’t who will win.
- Who Should Win: I honestly don’t know, and I’ll roll a die. Sophie Turner will win. I’m fine with that.
· Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
- Anthony Anderson, Black-ish
- Don Cheadle, Black Monday
- Ted Danson, The Good Place
- Michael Douglas, The Kominsky Method
- Bill Hader, Barry
- Eugene Levy, Schitt’s Creek
- Who Will Win: Bill Hader
- Who Should Win: Bill Hader will be taking this one. It’s virtually his race to lose. Coming of the heels IT: Chapter 2, Hader was already a star, but he’s been gaining steam with Barry, and I truly would love to see him on that stage accepting the award.
· Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
- Christina Applegate, Dead to Me
- Rachel Brosnahan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
- Julie Louis-Dreyfus, Veep
- Natasha Lyonne, Russian Doll
- Catherine O’Hara, Schitt’s Creek
- Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fleabag
- Who Will Win: Rachel Brosnahan
- Who Should Win: As much as I expect Rachel Brosnahan to win, Christina Applegate was nothing short special and magical. I was in true amazement of the work she put. Dead to Me and Netflix owe a debt to her.
· Outstanding Supporting Actor in A Comedy Series
- Alan Arkin, The Kominsky Method
- Anthony Carrigan,Barry
- Tony Hale, Veep
- Stephen Root, Barry
- Tony Shalhoub, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
- Henry Winkler, Barry
- Who Will Win: Henry Winkler
- Who Should Win: This is a fun race right here. All men are truly deserving, but I just love what Henry Winkler has been doing in Barry.
- Outstanding Supporting Actress in A Comedy Series
- Alex Borstein, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
- Anna Chlumsky, Veep
- Sian Clifford, Fleabag
- Olivia Colman, Fleabag
- Betty Gilpin,GLOW
- Sarah Goldberg, Barry
- Marin Hinkle,The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
- Kate McKinnon, Saturday Night Live
- Who Will Win: Betty Gilpin
- Who Should Win: Betty Gilpin has grown year after year on GLOW. She shined during the third season and I’d love to see her get rewarded for it.
· Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie
- Mahershala Ali, True Detective
- Benicio Del Toro, Escape to Dannemora
- Jared Harris, Chernobyl
- Jharrel Jerome, When They See Us
- Hugh Grant, A Very English Scandal
- Who Will Win: Jharrel Jerome
- Who Should Win: Go watch When They See Us. Then watch it again. Think about it. Watch it one it one more time, and then tell me why Jharrel Jerome shouldn’t win the award.
· Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie
- Amy Adams, Sharp Objects
- Patricia Arquette, Escape to Dannemora
- Aunjanue Ellis, When They See Us
- Joey King, The Act
- Niecy Nash,When They See U
- Michelle Williams,Fosse/Verdon
- Who Will Win: Amy Adams
- Who Should Win: As much as I love the other women in this category, and they’ve all done fantastic jobs, but Amy Adams was something else. She had me gritting my teeth, feeling her pain and tears, and ultimately, seeing the amazing the work she did each and every week made me want to stand up and cheer.
· Outstanding Supporting Actor in A Limited Series or Movie
- Asante Blackk, When They See Us
- Paul Dano, Escape at Dannemora
- John Leguizamo, When They See Us
- Stellan Skarsgård, Chernobyl
- Ben Whishaw, A Very English Scandal
- Michael K. Williams, When They See Us
- Who Will Win: Stellan Skarsgård,
- Who Should Win: When They See Us could very well clean up this year, but it would be a travesty if Chernobyldidn’t win an award, and I think that this is the category where it takes one home. Stellan Skarsgård was stellar during this series and I’d love to see him do more roles like this.
· Outstanding Supporting Actress in A Limited Series or Movie
- Patricia Arquette, The Act
- Marsha Stephanie Blake, When They See Us
- Patricia Clarkson,Sharp Objects
- Vera Farmiga, When They See Us
- Margaret Qualley, Fosse/Verdon
- Emily Watson, Chernobyl
- Who Will Win: Vera Farmiga
- Who Should Win: All of the women here are more than worthy of the honor. I think Vera will in just to stamp When They See Us into the history books, but Patricia Clarkson truly gave terrifyingly and scary good performance. I wanted nothing more than to hate her, and when you can arise that sort of reaction from someone, then you deserve praise.
