There’s three potential wins for Brunson here: Series, Writer and Actress. A hat trick would be impressive though it is unlikely. There is also the danger of her splitting votes across the ballot.
I believe the weakest category for her is in actress, but SAG could change that.
Just curious where all the “Hacks is on the decline” talk came from. It was easily a top 3 contender for series last year and it hasn’t even had time to release a new season yet. Plus Jean Smart is still actively winning big awards. If she loses SAG I could maybe see what people are saying but it still seems like an awards darling to me at least, even if it’s not always winning everything.

It missed DGA just after winning for example, it missed other guilds as well.
It’s on decline.FYC:
The HBO darlings everywhere (The Last of Us, Succession, The White Lotus, Perry Mason, Somebody Somewhere, White House Plumbers, Love & Death);
The Apple gang (Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Black Bird);
Poker Face, The Great, The Bear, Evil (especially Katja Herbers) and The Good Fight.Please! These gays, they're trying to murder me!

In spite of the reigning comedy series Emmy champion being ineligible at the winter awards this year it not only failed to make any gains there from a more wide open field (as all three of Abbott Elementary, Barry and Only Murders in the Building did) but went from wins at guilds such as ACE and DGA to snubs in favour of shows that failed to get nominated for the corresponding categories at the Emmys like Atlanta and The Marvelous Maisel.
FYC: Better Call Saul, The English and The Good Fight in all categories including Emily Blunt, Bob Odenkirk, Christine Baranski and Rhea Seehorn.
The series is still very good quality wise. HBO is just broke and doesn’t have the campaigning budgets of Apple TV, Disney, Netflix etc…

I don’t think that’s it..

Phoebe Waller Bridge pulled it off just a few years ago. In her case as well Actress was the biggest longshot, but I think it’s very possible if they go all in on the show for her to pull it off.

And then Dan Levy pulled it off an ever bigger one with Series, Supp Actor, Writing and Directing 💀

she is quickly becoming one of my favorite people in the industry! never forget that wwdits episode
I wouldn’t say that idea is too far off, the marketing for Hacks is far less impressive than other comedy series.
Eh the marketing was even worse for the first season (which was dated at the last minute and didn’t have any social media presence like the show did in its second) and it still won ACE and DGA alongside 3 above the line Emmys and got nominated at the former over a show that got in over it there this year (Only Murders in the Building). That’s clearly not the reason for its fall as a contender.

“Private School” should be winning the writing Emmy. It’s peak comedy.

Edebiri coming for three noms for three different shows.
Icon.
I notice a lot of people disagreeing with me that Hacks decline is due to HBO budgeting issues, can anyone else offer any better explanations?

There’s no evidence HBO aren’t setting aside a budget for FYC of Hacks or any particular program. HBO $$$ issues are more likely to prevent successor shows from being commissioned than effect the marketing/FYC budget.
I think the show has likely stagnated audience wise where other shows around it have emerged bigger or stronger (stagnated rather than declined might be a better descriptor overall).
