What Can This Year’s Oscar Results Tell Us About the Upcoming Emmys?


If you think about it, The White Lotus is the Anora of TV, and Severance is The Brutalist. Let us explain.

That’s true, and yet, when we were talking the other day, we also noted that — apart from the unforeseen Emilia Pérez implosion — in the broad strokes, this season ended in roughly the place we might have predicted back in September: Anora ascendant, The Brutalist and Conclave feeling like the runners-up, and Mikey Madison, Adrien Brody, Zoe Saldaña, and Kieran Culkin winning acting trophies. In the coming weeks, I’ll be digging into just where each of these shows stand, but as a bloc, Hacks, The Bear, Abbott Elementary, and Only Murders in the Building seem pretty well entrenched, and they aren’t leaving the year’s other comedies a ton of opportunities to climb to the top. It’s not a perfect comparison to the new medical drama The Pitt, but the doctor show is one of TV’s most tried-and-true, and just like Timothée Chalamet was revisiting the biopic genre after Wonka, so too is Noah Wyle once again doing the emergency-medicine thing after ER.
