Prepare for These Narratives to Dominate the Emmys Race


It’s Hannah Einbinder’s year, The Studio could topple the big-four comedies, Kathy Bates is a shoo-in, and so much more.

Ralph and Colón-Zayas are back in the mix again this year (with the latter earning a compelling spotlight episode about how Tina got her job at the sandwich shop), and you can expect strong campaigns from Jessica Williams ( Shrinking), Emmy fave Catherine O’Hara ( The Studio), some wishful thinking for Patti LuPone in Agatha All Along, and perhaps even some in- Hacks competition from Meg Stalter. There’s every reason to assume they’ll be locked in for Outstanding Comedy Series nominations this time — with shows like Shrinking, Nobody Wants This, The Four Seasons, and the final year of What We Do in the Shadows scrambling to take up the other slots — and will be the favorites to win in the acting, writing, and directing fields. Tolkien haven’t fared much better: Unless things turn out very differently than most awards watchers are predicting, House of the Dragon isn’t stepping into Game of Thrones ’s shoes, awards-wise, and Amazon’s Rings of Power series has been a nonstarter for the Academy despite huge hype and expense.
