TheEmmy Awardsare just plain weird this year.
Technically, whats weird is that this is the ceremony for 2023, which was last year.
But since the categories are being awarded in 2024, that makes them this years Emmys.
You know what, lets back up a second.
The Primetime Emmy Awards are given out every year to honor the best work in television.
Nominees includeThe Bear, but for seasonone, which was released back whenRoev.Wadehad not yet been overturned.
(That would happen on June 24, 2022, the day afterThe Bearpremiered on Hulu.
and that show came out in 1863.
Basically, I have to make educated guessesandtime-travel to get this right.
So get into the DeLorean, losers, and lets do this.
A lot of people clearly like it.
And then theres the fact thatAbbott Elementaryhasnt won an Emmy in this category yet.
Industry folks may want to officially-officially celebrate its excellence and send some love to traditional broadcast television.
All that said, I cant shake the feeling that just enough voters will want to give Mr.
Believe Sign a good-bye kiss, givingTed Lassothe edge.
Will win:Ted Lasso.
Should win:The Bear.
It deserves many, and this year was its last year to collect.
Will Win:Succession.
Should Win:Succession.
Will Win:Beef.
Should Win:Beef though I would not be mad ifFleishman Is in Troublepulled off a quote-unquote upset.
Without that HBO series in the mix, its hard to know what voters will do.
Will Win:The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
Should Win:It would be nice to see underdog of sortsLate Night With Seth Meyerswin.
Thats bravery, my friends.
Will Win:Saturday Night Live.
Should Win:Saturday Night Live.
With this field having shrunk in recent years, its more blatantly the best sketch show on television.
Will Win:RuPauls Drag Race.
Should Win:Top Chef like, come on, Padma deserves that.
Will Win:Jeremy Allen White.
Should Win:Jeremy Allen White.
Will Win:Quinta Brunson.
Should Win:Id be thrilled if either Brunson or Applegate got it, to be honest.
But heres the thing: Kieran Culkin.
Of theSuccessionactors nominated in this category, hes the only Emmy-less one.
TL;DR: He basically won this the minute he asked, Is he in there?
Can we get him out?
Will Win:Kieran Culkin.
Should Win:Kieran Culkin (but also Bob Odenkirk, can there be a tie??).
Will Win:Sarah Snook.
Should Win:Sarah Snook.
It seems more likely that Steven Yeuns intense work inBeefwill lead to his first Emmy.
Will Win:Steven Yeun.
Should Win:Steven Yeun.
Will Win:Ali Wong.
Should Win:Dominique Fishback.
Im betting voters decide to wait until next year to reward Moss-Bachrach and finally give Marsden his flowers.
Will Win:James Marsden.
Will Win:Ayo Edebiri.
Should Win:Edebiri, but also it would be super-fun if Janelle James won.
And that someone will be, for the second year in a row, Matthew Macfadyen.
Will Win:Matthew Macfadyen.
Should Win:Do you really think Im going to say anyone other thanTommy Wambs?
That may not matter given how much people love her, though.
Will Win:Elizabeth Debicki.
Should Win:Sweet lord,would you like give Rhea Seehorn an Emmy?
(Theres a real chance I want this for Seehorn more than she wants it for herself.)
Will Win:Paul Walter Hauser.
Should Win:Paul Walter Hauser.
But Nash-Betts is very good in an arguably less showy role inDahmer.
Will Win:Niecy Nash-Betts.
Will Win:The Bear, Review.
Should Win:The Bear, Review.
Will Win:Succession, Connors Wedding.
Should Win:Succession, Connors Wedding.
Will Win:Im going to say Figures of Light, with the caveat that Silenced might get it.
Will Win:The Bear, System.
Should Win:Succession,Connors Wedding orBetter Call Saul,Saul Gone.
So Im just going to shrug and guess thatBeefwins, but Im prepared to be wrong.
Will Win:Beef, The Birds Dont Sing, They Screech in Pain.
Should Win:Fleishman Is in Trouble, Me Time.
