Post your thoughts/who you voted for below!

I know I’ve been creating a lot of these who was 2nd threads but I find this one to be the most fascinating.

Mahershala Ali : Coming off from the buzz of his second Oscar win many were predicting him to win until the rise of Chernobyl, Fosse/Verdon and When They See Us.
Benicio del Toro : An Academy Award winning actor starring in a Limited Series nominee that was probably second or third in Actress.
Hugh Grant : Acclaimed film star debuting on television in a role that was seen by many to be a revelation, co-star won the Emmy in respective category, did not miss at a single award ceremony.
Jared Harris : Star of the Limited Series winner.
Sam Rockwell : Academy Award winning actor arrives on television, won the SAG award for this role and starred opposite the Actress winner.

For a while I thought it was Jared Harris because I thought this was a WTSU v Chernobyl battle but after his SAG win I now think it was Sam Rockwell. Chernobyl still had a lot of buzz by the time it got to SAG so even if When They See Us lost buzz if Harris was second he would have won at SAG. Furthermore Rockwell’s performance, although it was outshone by Williams’s, was still very much acclaimed and considering Fosse/Verdon’s guild performance he was starring in the Limited Series runner-up.

I think at the end of the day the ranking was like this:

1) Jharell Jerome
2) Sam Rockwell
3) Jared Harris
4) Hugh Grant
5) Mahershala Ali
6) Benicio del Toro

I think Chernobyl’s performance at the Emmys could hint that Succession can very well win Drama Series this year. Chernobyl, although it received three acting nominations, very much won without the support of actors and with the overwhelming support of the writing and directing branch of the Television Academy. I think if Succession can get at three acting nominations (which I think will be for Cox, Snook and Strong) then I think it can easily win Drama Series. Even if it doesn’t win those acting awards.

FYC Emmys: "The Crown" in all categories, "I May Destroy You" in all categories, "It's a Sin" in all categories, "Small Axe" in all categories, Billie Piper ("I Hate Suzie"), Yvonne Strahovski ("Stateless") and Ruth Wilson ("His Dark Materials")

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Sam Rockwell given Williams also won and he took SAG, but I’m still gonna go with Jared Harris, as his show was the big winner and he had the acclaim as well.
