Angie Han I can’t imagine Hacks I haven’t found a place here, but my heart is with innovative newcomers – like David E. Kelley’s big-hearted series Margo has financial problemsRebecca Cutter soap is delicious Hunting wivesGenre Bending by Katie Diebold Widow’s BayTim Robinson Al-Kursi Company And perhaps most important of all, is the verve of Sterlin Harjo Inside information.
Main actor
Daniel Feinberg No offense to the stars Murders only in the building And other familiar names and past winners (Steve Carell, Jeremy Allen White, etc.), but this could be a very nice category. Voters can save it by honoring Ethan Hawke’s chaotic charm Inside informationMatthew Rhys’s flawless blend of comedy and horror in Widow’s Bay And the increasing discomfort caused by Tim Robinson Al-Kursi Company. Then maybe you recognize Tracy Morgan for Perfect Design The fall and rise of Reggie DinkinsYahya Abdul-Mateen II as an unexpected superhero/actor The miracle man And Seth Rogen, the best at it Platonic From the show he won last year.
Leading actress
Han Jean Smart has won this award every year Hacks She was qualified, and I don’t hate the real possibility that she finished five-for-five. I’d also be happy to see the return of Quinta Bronson’s favorites Abbott Elementary And Ayo Edebiri from Bear Back in the mix. However, my personal favorite in this category is a newcomer: Kate O’Flynn, who is extremely quirky and funny in this regard. Widow’s Bay.
Assistant actor
Feinberg Harrison Ford’s rough comedic fragility Shrink It’s still the best work of his career, he could have won last year and deserves to win this year. Add strong, reliable actors, Nick Offerman (Margo has financial problems(And Keith David)Inside information), Daniel Radcliffe’s endless game Reggie Dinkins Weirdness and another season of hilarious excellence from Abbott Elementary Star Tyler James Williams.
Supporting actress
Han I expect there will be a lot of familiar faces in the industry, including Hannah Einbinder from Hacks Janelle james and sheryl lee ralph from Abbott ElementaryI would certainly be happy to see any of them in the race. But there should also be room for Erika Alexander, who will bring her comedic game to her world Reggie Dinkins; Poorna Jagannathan, perhaps the most amazing woman alive Daily Boys; And Ashley Padilla, Saturday Night LiveA reliably and outrageously funny hack.

Feinberg the house It’s close to winning, especially since the two best new dramas in this category — Multiple and Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – They’re both quite comedic. Slot in Diplomat and Slow horsesreliable even if sometimes great entries, there is very little room left. Either you stick to this approach and run Dark winds Or choose the boldest but most uneven Alien: Earth.
Main actor
Han Since the field this year isn’t particularly strong, I wouldn’t mind seeing a repeat of it the houseNoah Wyle. Among beginners, DaringBilly Magnussen and Knight of the Seven KingdomsPeter Claffey would be worthwhile additions. Finally, while the final season of Boys He’s nowhere near the strongest on the show, I hope Antony Starr gets some recognition for his work as one of the most loathsome fictional villains to emerge in recent years.
Leading actress
Feinberg It starts with Rhea Seehorn, giving this year’s top star her role as the main focus Multiple. Then add the exhausting and hilarious Zendaya trance Performing, Keri Russell keeps her intellectual wheels turning DiplomatPlus the versatility of Carrie Coon The Gilded Age Intrigue, this is a prominent category before A-list Michelle Pfeiffer finds a place, while retaining the emotional rawness in the dirty stuff.

Sydney Sweeney deserves something for all of Sam Levinson’s psychosexual mayhem trance. From there, he made way for Karolina Wydra, in a very difficult and indescribable way Multiple role; Allison Janney is the ultimate sparring partner Diplomat; And Amanda Peet constantly threatens to rob her Your friends and neighbors completely.
Limited Series/Anthology/TV Movie
Best series
Feinberg The limited series category may be a struggle this year. I love the ambition, if not always the execution, of Netflix’s second season meat and examining representation and identity at Amazon The taste. Netflix also has a pair of solid four-hour adaptations of the harrowing film Lord of the Flies And the dark comedy political tragedy Death by lightning. But more than anything, I urge voters to take the tonal journey DTF St. Louiswhich moves from the rough and tumble to an emotional examination of male fragility, with a murder mystery.
Main actor
Feinberg I’m worried that Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen are going to cannibalize each other Death by lightning Support and that Jamie Bell, Mitchell Robertson, Paul Bettany and Will Sharp may do the same in Half a man and Amadeusrespectively. Anything would be worthy, but leave room for Riz Ahmed’s masterpiece The taste Self-parody, as well as Jason Clarke (Murdoch: Death in the family) and Michael Chernos (Masked Devil: John Wayne Gacy) offers a reminder that true crime shows can be subtle and complex, not scary and disturbing.
Leading actress
Han Say what you want about him love story – Personally, I’m ready to be done with the entire Kennedy myth – but they’ve pulled it off by casting Sarah Pidgeon, who exudes dazzling charisma and earthy gravity at the same time as Caroline Bisset. In very different kinds of love stories, I also adored Camila Morrone’s bloody take on pre-wedding jitters. Something very bad will happenSally Field’s primary portrait of grief in Remarkably bright creatures And the sly and sexy role of Rachel Weisz Vladimir.

DTF St. Louis. I’ll reserve places for Charles Milton as meatResident Himbo and Nick Offerman as Chester A. Funny/bittersweet Arthur Death by lightning. Finally, I’ll pick two guys who have made me happy doing what they do best: Jake Lacy as the goofy nice guy. All her fault And Jimmy Tatro as a dim light steals the scene Mike, Nick, Nick and Alice.
Supporting actress
Feinberg Kylie Spaeny and Yoon Yuh Jung performed meatone hilariously descending into awfulness and the other conveying a slight threat, and DTF St. Louis star Linda Cardellini Speaking of, I’ll be forgiving of the inevitable nominations for Naomi Watts (love story(Lesley Manville and Laurie Metcalf)The Monster: The Ed Gein Story), and they’re all very good and very one-dimensional.
