“Succession” and “Saturday Night Live” are predicted to be the most nominated shows at the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards, at least in program and performance categories. That’s according to our official odds, which are based on the combined predictions of thousands of Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. Scroll down for our nomination predictions listed by show, with projected wins highlighted in gold.
Overall, we’re betting on “Succession” to receive a remarkable 14 nominations including Best Drama Series, which we’re predicting it to win for the second time following its victory in 2020. On top of that, the corporate drama is the front-runner in every single acting category it’s eligible for: Best Drama Actor (Brian Cox), Best Drama Supporting Actress (Sarah Snook), Best Drama Supporting Actor (Kieran Culkin), Best Drama Guest Actress (Harriet Walter), and Best Drama Guest Actor (James Cromwell). That would mimic “The Crown,” which also won five of the six acting prizes in addition to Best Drama Series last year. So that would be six wins for “Succession” before you even factor in categories we’re not predicting like writing, directing, casting, editing, and more.
The comedy categories won’t be quite so lopsided. We’re predicting “Saturday Night Live” to earn the most acting nominations (nine), but the only award it’s tipped to win is Best Variety Sketch Series. And while “Ted Lasso” is currently expected to repeat for Best Comedy Series, Best Comedy Actor (Jason Sudeikis), Best Comedy Supporting Actress (Hannah Waddingham), and Best Comedy Supporting Actor (Brett Goldstein), there’s room for acting winners from other shows too. Jean Smart (“Hacks”) is favored for Best Comedy Actress again. And freshman show “Only Murders in the Building” will take home guest acting awards for Jane Lynch and Nathan Lane.
See who else we think will win below. Make or update your predictions here before the nominations are announced on Tuesday. And join the Emmy discussions going on in our forums.
