Just How Dominant Can The Bear Get in 2024?


The FX darling is poised to repeat its Emmys reign this year and potentially shatter records in the process.

But that same system also tended to honor standout performances in shows that didn’t dominate the Emmys otherwise, resulting in some surprising but really satisfying wins like Michael Chiklis for The Shield, Željko Ivanek for Damages, and Archie Panjabi for The Good Wife. In Supporting Actress, Liza Colón-Zayas had a tremendous season as Tina made her way through culinary school; Abby Elliott stepped up in a big way as Natalie became an integral part of the restaurant’s redesign, not to mention the angst she played so well opposite her domineering mother in “Fishes.” Molly Gordon, as Carm’s love interest Claire, cleared the 50 percent threshold, so expect her to reap the benefits of a Bear windfall as well. ( The Bear may set a record for Guest nominations this time around, with Curtis, Poulter, Olivia Colman, John Mulaney, Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, Gillian Jacobs, Robert Townsend, and Jon Bernthal all big, shiny options.)
