Emmy Predictions: Supporting Actress (Comedy) — Despite 132 Names on the Ballot, It’s Time for Lisa Ann Walter’s First Nod for ‘Abbott Elementary’


2024 Emmys supporting actress comedy predictions include Meryl Streep, Hannah Einbinder, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Janelle James and Liza Colón-Zayas.

Currently topping the charts and with the potential for the series to challenge the inarguable frontrunner status of “The Bear,” Einbinder could very well bring her co-star Meg Stalter along for the ride. Both Einbinder and Streep could benefit from potential vote-splitting among the talented actresses from ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” — Janelle James, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Lisa Ann Walter — as well as FX’s “The Bear” — Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Molly Gordon.
