Voting for the nomination round of the2024 Primetime Emmysis underway.
The three most surprising features of this years Emmys ballot are:
1.
Fewer shows were submitted for nominations, which means fewer actors will be up for awards.
The rule change was originally meant to reflect agreatly expandedpeak-TV landscape.
Which means no eight-person categories.
Fewer submissions could either curb aBearsweep … or make it more pronounced.
The guest actor/actress categories are just as lean in comedy, with six slots available apiece.
Ultimately,The Bearwasso ballyhooedfor its guest stars last season that its hard to imagine who gets left off.
(Paulson just won a Tony!
During the voting window!
Thats a bump if I ever heard of one.)
3.ShogunandReservation Dogsmight be spamming the ballot.
Different shows employ different strategies when it comes to scoring nominations in the writing and directing categories.
But being calculated isnt easy.
(Ramy Youssefs direction on the Copenhagen-set Honeydew episode was also submitted.
The music categories always feature some intrigue.
The performance categories offer ample opportunities for actors to land double (or triple or more!)
Fittingly, given how much its been her year (she even toppled J.Lo!
), Ayo Edebiri could emerge as aquadruplenominee.
Hes also a long shot but still on the ballot as a Supporting Actor in a Comedy forGood Omens.
Jesse Plemons, Letitia Wright, and Andrew Scott have all previously scored nominations for their performances inBlack Mirrorepisodes.
Bradley Cooper really could get an Outstanding Guest Actor nomination for his cameo as himself onAbbott Elementary.
