Now a warning.....my tv award picks, whether it be the Emmy's or Golden Globes usually suck. That being said, I decided to base these predictions off of a combined factor of likely winner vs who I'd like to see win. (actor/show clips may contain spoilers)
Outstanding Supporting Actress - limited/movie:
Sara Bareilles - Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert
Penelope Cruz - The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
Judith Light - The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
Adina Porter - American Horror Story: Cult
Merritt Wever - Godless
Letitia Wright - Black Mirror: Black Museum
This seems like a close race, but I'd like to see this go to Judith Light. As good as Penelope Cruz was, Judith Light was just such a scene-stealer throughout American Crime Story.
Outstanding Supporting Actor - limited/movie:
Jeff Daniels - Godless
Brandon Victor Dixon - Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert
John Leguizamo - Waco
Ricky Martin - The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
Edgar Ramirez - The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
Michael Stuhlbarg - The Looming Tower
Finn Wittrock - The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
I could see the 3 American Crime Story nominees here canceling each other out. If that occurs, then this should go to Brandon Victor Dixon. He just went all out in Jesus Christ Superstar.
Outstanding Supporting Actress - Drama:
Alexis Bledel - The Handmaid's Tale
Millie Bobby Brown - Stranger Things
Ann Dowd - The Handmaid's Tale
Lena Headey - Game of Thrones
Vanessa Kirby - The Crown
Thandie Newton - Westworld
Yvonne Strahovski - The Handmaid's Tale
I'm more or less flying blind here, but I'm going with Ann Dowd.
Outstanding Supporting Actor - Drama:
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau - Game of Thrones
Peter Dinklage - Game of Thrones
Joseph Fiennes - The Handmaid's Tale
David Harbour - Stranger Things
Mandy Patinkin - Homeland
Matt Smith - The Crown
An underrated part of Stranger Things, I'm going with David Harbour.
Outstanding Supporting Actress - Comedy:
Zazie Beetz - Atlanta
Alex Borstein - The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Aidy Bryant - Saturday Night Live
Betty Gilpin - GLOW
Leslie Jones - Saturday Night Live
Kate McKinnon - Saturday Night Live
Laurie Metcalf - Roseanne
Megan Mullally - Will & Grace
Will someone take this away from Kate McKinnon? As the MVP of SNL, I think she repeats.
Outstanding Supporting Actor - Comedy:
Louie Anderson - Baskets
Alec Baldwin - Saturday Night Live
Tituss Burgess - Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Brian Tyree Henry - Atlanta
Tony Shaloub - The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Kenan Thompson - Saturday Night Live
Henry Winkler - Barry
Another category where I'm flying partially blind, but I'm going Henry Winkler.
Outstanding Lead Actress - limited/movie:
Jessica Biel - The Sinner
Laura Dern - The Tale
Michelle Dockery - Godless
Edie Falco - Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders
Regina King - Seven Seconds
Sarah Paulson - American Horror Story: Cult
Just don't bet against Laura Dern.
Outstanding Lead Actor - limited/movie:
Antonio Banderas - Genius: Picasso
Darren Criss - The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
Benedict Cumberbatch - Patrick Melrose
Jeff Daniels - The Looming Tower
John Legend - Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert
Jesse Plemons - Black Mirror: USS Callister
Darren Criss was just spectacular in American Crime Story. He really brought out the disturbing factors to his character, while making him feel real.
Outstanding Lead Actress - Drama:
Claire Foy - The Crown
Tatiana Maslany - Orphan Black
Elisabeth Moss - The Handmaid's Tale
Sandra Oh - Killing Eve
Keri Russell - The Americans
Evan Rachel Wood - Westworld
A very impressive field of nominees. I'm going with Sandra Oh. I could see Moss taking this, but Sandra Oh really deserves it.
Outstanding Lead Actor - Drama:
Jason Bateman - Ozark
Sterling K. Brown - This Is Us
Ed Harris - Westworld
Matthew Rhys - The Americans
Milo Ventimiglia - This Is Us
Jeffrey Wright - Westworld
Another loaded field. I could see this going to Matthew Rhys, but personally I'm going with Milo Ventimiglia. He brought it to another level in the 2nd season of This Is Us, especially during that episode (This Is Us fans know what I mean).
Outstanding Lead Actress - Comedy:
Pamela Adlon - Better Things
Rachel Brosnahan - The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Allison Janney - Mom
Issa Rae - Insecure
Tracee Ellis Ross - Black-ish
Lily Tomlin - Grace and Frankie
This seems fairly straight forward. I see Rachel Brosnahan taking this, given how Marvelous Mrs. Maisel broke out over the last year.
Outstanding Lead Actor - Comedy:
Anthony Anderson - Black-ish
Ted Danson - The Good Place
Larry David - Curb Your Enthusiasm
Donald Glover - Atlanta
Bill Hader - Barry
William H. Macy - Shameless
This should, and I think will go to Donald Glover.
Outstanding Reality-Competition Program:
The Amazing Race
American Ninja Warrior
Project Runway
RuPaul's Drag Race
Top Chef
The Voice
It's about time that RuPaul's Drag Race gets this emmy.
Outstanding Limited Series:
The Alienist
The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story
Genius: Picasso
Godless
Patrick Melrose
Not as packed of a field as its been in years past, but I'm going with The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. It may not have reached the high bar that season 1 set, but it still possessed a unique and well-told story.
Outstanding Variety Sketch Series:
At Home with Amy Sedaris
Drunk History
I Love You, America with Sarah Silverman
Portlandia
Saturday Night Live
Tracey Ullman's Show
Much like American Crime Story, Saturday Night Live wasn't able to reach that high bar it set during 2016-17, but it still provided quality content and relief through such a hectic political period.
Outstanding Variety Talk Series:
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
The Late Late Show with James Corden
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Given the writing emmy wins it's already gotten, I'm going with Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
Outstanding Drama Series:
The Americans
The Crown
Game of Thrones
The Handmaid's Tale
Stranger Things
This Is Us
Westworld
I'm going out on a limb here, and picking The Americans. It wrapped up its final season to wide critical acclaim. It should finally get some awards recognition.
Outstanding Comedy Series:
Atlanta
Barry
Black-ish
Curb Your Enthusiasm
GLOW
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Silicon Valley
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Calling for a FX sweep, Atlanta should take this.
