It’s time for my favourite now-annual thread that I do. For those who haven’t done it before it’s essentially as blatant as the thread title: you rank your winner predictions by your confidence of them being correct.

Also, for those interested in checking out how I and others did in previous years here’s the threads from 2019 and 2018

Anyway…

1. Watchmen
2. “This Is Not For Tears” – Succession (Writing)
3. “Happy Ending” – Schitt’s Creek (Writing)
4. Regina King
5. “This Extraordinary Being” – Watchmen (Writing)
6. Eddie Murphy
7. Catherine O’Hara
8. Ramy Yousseff
9. Schitt’s Creek
10. “Fire Pink” – Ozark (Directing)
11. “This Extraordinary Being” – Watchmen (Directing)
12. Wanda Sykes
13. Dan Levy
14. Jeremy Strong
15. Succession
16. Alex Borstein
17. Paul Mescal
18. Laverne Cox
19. Uzo Aduba
20. “Happy Ending” – Schitt’s Creek (Directing)
21. Ron Cephas Jones
22. Helena Bonham Carter
23. Bad Education
24. Jennifer Aniston
25. Tituss Burgess
26. Jeffrey Wright

As with last year, I’d say I feel genuinely confident in about six of these.

1. “This is Not For Tears” – Succession (Writing)
2. Watchmen
3. “This Extraordinary Being” – Watchmen (Writing)
4. Eddie Murphy
5. Succession (I might swap this out for Ozark depending on the Creative Arts but for now I feel quite confident in it lol)
6. Jeremy Strong
7. Ramy Yousseff
8. “This is Not For Tears” – Succession (Directing)
9. Maya Rudolph (SNL)
10. Paul Mescal
11. Schitt’s Creek
12. Catherine O’Hara

I feel the most confident in these 12 but I only feel 100% confident up until This Extraordinary Being (95% up until Eddie Murphy).

RIP my predictions accuracy score.

What about the categories you aren’t confident in? How would you rank those in terms of your level of certainty
