2025 Emmys Lead Actor Comedy Predictions include Martin Short, Jeremy Allen White, Seth Rogen, Adam Brody, Ted Danson, Steve Carrell and Steve Martin

The beloved comedian and past Emmy winner (“AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Mel Brooks” in 2014 for variety special and writing for “SCTV Network” in 1983) shines in Hulu’s romp “Only Murders in the Building,” where his theatrical flair and impeccable timing as Oliver Putnam continues to win over both audiences and voters, proven by his SAG win earlier this year. With three consecutive nominations for this role, Short could finally secure a long-overdue acting win, solidifying his place among television’s comedy greats. Seth Rogen has garnered attention for his role in Apple TV+’s “The Studio,” where he plays a neurotic showrunner navigating the chaos of Hollywood.
