This year in some categories I bet we will have 7 or 8 noms just because of how stiff and stacked each category is. I bet Series and Lead Actress and maybe even Supporting Actress.

Sarah Snook in Succession. I love that she is getting more recognition for her role!

Gugu Mbatha Raw in the Morning Show

I really like all of Reese Witherspoon’s new TV roles, but her best chance of getting a nom this year is for Little Fires Everywhere. There is less competition there, but if for some reason the TV Academy really goes for TMS, like the Globes, she could get in Lead Actress Drama for that. I don’t see a pathway for her to get a nom for BLL at all.

How I think the awards will be equally seperated

• Drama Series, Succession
• Lead Actor, Brian Cox (Succession)
• Lead Actress, Laura Linney (Ozark)
• Supporting Actor, Billy Crudup (The Morning Show)
• Supporting Actress, Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown)
• Drama Writing, Succession (This Is Not For Tears)
• Drama Directing, Ozark (All In) or…

Chris Elliot

I think Laura Linney would beat Olivia Colman. Colman has not been a favorite amongst SAG voters and if she has internal comepition like Gillian Anderson, I don’t see her winning over Linney who just had her best season.

If Westworld doesn’t get a writing/direction nod will it miss a Series nod, or will it get lucky like its last time and get in. Or if Killing Eve gets both writing/directing nod, will it get in Series?

I dont think Schitts Creek will get 2 Supporting nods in both categories

What shows will get in for directing and writing? I feel like Ozark, Succession and The Crown will dominate the majority of noms. But what other shows might slip into that 5th or 6th spot?

My thing is with Handmaids Tale, it won at the right time with certain topics that were relevant at the time. Not saying that TMS is going to win Series but it might win some other awards if nominated because cultural relevance.

TMS I think has the momentum to get in regardless of it mirroring a network drama. It has some momentum regarding some significant wins and it has topical issues that are extremely relevent to society. Even though it isn’t a critical darling, it has overall audience and fan support. The Tv academy voters might really like TMS. We will have to w…[Read more]

I don’t think Pelphrey will get in for Actor, but I don’t mind it if he does!

I wouldn’t be surprised if BLL got snubbed for everything except for Supporting Actress. I feel like the hype died for the 2nd season, like the season came and went and there was no buzz around it. HBO should have premiered it this January and I feel like the buzz and momentum would gain closer to nomination period.

The Morning Show at least should get noms for Series, Lead Actress (Aniston), Supp Actor (Crudup), Directing (The Interview). If the Televsion Academy really like the show alot it could signal nods for maybe Carrell and Witherspoon with maybe Guest Actor nods for Martin Short and Mindy Kahling. But for now i think it will get at least 4 major nods.

I think Shalhoub wins easily, I would really like to see Zegen get in this time. I felt like he had more of a storyline this season and more to do, which i thought he handled well. Sterling K Brown will probably get in just because of his pedigree amongst Emmy voters, but I didn’t think he did anything grand this season for him to garner a nom for…[Read more]

Laura Linney better win for her performance this season on Ozark, she was chilling in every episode.

I am having a hard time predicting whether or not any Westworld actors will get in other than Thandie for their categories. I don’t think Evan Rachel Wood will get in, but maybe Jeffrey Wright or Aaron Paul might in such a more open Lead Actor category.

I feel like it will be either O’Connor or Pelphrey fighting for that number 6 spot.

I currently have Crudup winning, but it is such an open field right now. I would love to see Pelphrey, Harbour, and Culkin possibly win. If the TV Academy really goes all in for Succession, then maybe Matthew Macfadyen could get in.

Also maybe Josh O’Connor for the Crown. I haven’t finished S3 yet, but I have heard really good things about his…[Read more]
