We read all 35 of the television academy’s PDFs to see what they reveal about next month’s nominations.

They’re going to have to get past front-runner Hannah Einbinder ( Hacks), the Abbott Elementary trio (Sheryl Lee Ralph, Janelle James, and Lisa Ann Walter), the Palm Royale duo (Allison Janney and Carol Burnett), and, oh, yes, Meryl Streep ( Only Murders in the Building). ➵ Possible double nominees include Lily Gladstone( Under the Bridge and Reservation Dogs), Nicole Kidman ( Expats and Special Ops: Lioness), Nicholas Galatzine ( Mary and George and Red, White & Royal Blue). ➵ Other people definitely worth rooting for in the guest actor/actress categories include: Will Ferrell and Andy Samberg as Laker fanatics Lou Adler and Jimmy Goldstein on John Mulaney Presents Everybody’s in L.A.; Richard Kind, not for Everybody’s in L.A.(sadly) but for Girls5Eva; and both Rachael Ray and Vincent Pastore for playing themselves in the season finale of The Curse.
