With the prediction centre open, both Gillian Anderson and Laurence Fishburne at less than 100/1 odds could get a 4th category nomination

Gillian Anderson

• Drama Actress (“The X Files”)
• Limited Actress (“Bleak House”)
–
• Sup. Comedy Actress (“Sex Education”)
• Sup. Drama Actress (“The Crown”)

Laurence Fishburne

• Drama Guest Actor (“Tribeca”)
• Limited Actor (“Thurgood”, “Miss Evers Boys”, “Tuskegee Airmen”,
• Short Form Actor (“#FreeRayshawn”)
—
• Comedy Sup. Actor (“Blackish”)

And if Jean Smart gets nominated for Hacks, it’ll be her 6th different acting category nomination and it’ll make her

• the 3rd person to be nominated in every Comedy Category (after Poehler & White).
• the 2nd to be nominated for all three slots for different shows (either genre).

and if she wins, she’ll be
• the 2nd person to win all three awards on either Comedy or Drama. (After Janney in Drama)
• and the first to win all three for three different shows (either genre).

Lee Grant 5

– Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Fay)
– Lead Actress in a Single Role (3x: The Neon Ceiling, Columbo: Ransom for a Dead Man, Judd for the Defense)
– Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Peyton Place)
– Supporting Actress in Comedy-Variety, Variety or Music (The Shape of Things)
– Supporting Actress in a Mini-series/TV Movie (Citizen Cohn)

Though in terms of today’s categories it would have been six, since the Judd for the Defense nomination was a one-episode guest appearance in a longer running series.
