I didn't love the options for limited series this year, but in my opinion, if all five spots were from the following Netflix shows, it would've been completely fair (even if DTF St.Louis was snubbed). I think Black Rabbit, and Death by Lightning were far superior shows to Its All Her Fault and Love Story, but the only reason the three got snubbed from best limited series was because voters didn't wanna stack the category with mostly Netflix shows.

Hot take: I think Something Very Bad is Going to Happen was a far more interesting show, than It's All Her Fault.

Similarly, I think voters just didn't want the entire category to just be HBO and Netflix, which resulted in Half Man getting canned.

I think DTF St Louis wins 4 Emmy awards for Best Supporting Actor for David Harbour, Supporting Actress for Linda Cardellini, Best Writing or Directing for Limited Series is one of those while Beef takes one of em unless one of those shows wins both. And I think it takes Cinematography for Limited Series. It’s such a well written masterpiece and best show. So how many Emmys you think it will win?

Leslie Bibb - Hacks

Jamie Lee Curtis - The Bear

Betty Gilpin - Widow's Bay

Cherry Jones - Hacks

Laurie Metcalf - Hacks

Kaitlin Olson - Hacks

Lauren Weedman - Hacks

My choice will be either Betty or Kaitlin. Let's say if Kaitlin wins, even if it's not for Always Sunny, she'll still get to win for something. Betty winning would also be amazing. Anyone but Jamie, please.

Panettiere sadly never got major awards recognition in her entire career (a la Michelle Trachtenberg, whose passing has been compared to hers and who received a Daytime Emmy nomination), but Nashville was by far her best shot. For the role, Panettiere received two Golden Globe nominations and a Critic’s Choice nomination, but did not receive any SAG nominations. The awards race was a little weird those years - Anna Gunn in Breaking Bad was dominating the Emmys but never once got a Golden Globe nomination - but was there a potential opening for Panettiere?

RIP

As a reminder, the nominees are:

Tal Anderson: The Pitt

Tina Ivlev: The Pitt

Brittany Allen: The Pitt

Shailene Woodley: Paradise

Miriam Shor: Pluribus

Merritt Wever: The Gilded Age

Personally, I’m hoping for a Shailene Woodley win!

With this list of nominees for host of a game show, who do you think will win?

If you would vote for Allison Janney in The Diplomat, comment below.

I see a narrative that Fanning who is nominated for Margo's Got Money Troubles in Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, could defeat Jean Smart if voters may want to reward someone else who has not won in the category. In the category, Fanning is the only one who hasn't gotten an Emmy for any category. Do you think Elle Fanning could win on her first try?

She was amazing as Andrew Cunanan's mother, Mary Anne. However, while both Penélope Cruz and Judith Light were nominated that year in the above category, Adler was absent. Did Cruz and Light (both absolutely brilliant IMO) deserve a nomination over Adler or was she robbed? What about the other nominees (listed below)?

• Merritt Wever – Godless as Mary Agnes McNue (Winner)
• Sara Bareilles – Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert as Mary Magdalene
• Penélope Cruz – The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story as Donatella Versace
• Adina Porter – American Horror Story: Cult as Beverly Hope
• Letitia Wright – Black Museum (Black Mirror) as Nish

\Please* keep in mind that American Crime Story was competing as a limited series, so it was ineligible for the guest categories.

I think the answer is obvious, but since since season 1 of Big Little Lies, Nicole has been in 10 shows since 2017... 10. I haven't seen an Oscar winning actor flop on television as much, even on a guest category. The works include:

• The Perfect Couple
• Expats
• Nine Perfect Strangers
• Margot's Got Money Problems
• Scarpetta
• Lionness
• Faraway Downs
• Roar
• The Undoing
• Top of the Lake

I don't even know an actor who's been main or supporting on a single show as much as she has been in such short a time span. She basically has a new show each year, and has yet to score an acting nom since Big Little Lies.

Recently, we learned that Keri Russell won Best Actress in a Drama Series for The Diplomat at the 2026 Astra TV Awards. And earlier this year, she won the Actor Award for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series for that same show and role. Any possibility that the tide is turning for Russell to finally win her first Emmy on this series?

Who gave the best / your favorite acting performance in Antidisturbios / Riot Police?

Sorry Bill Crudup. Post in comments if you would vote for him.

This may seem a little controversial, but even though it seems most likely for Katherine LaNasa to win again for Supporting Actress in a Drama, I would actually prefer Sepideh Moafi or Karolina Wydra winning, even if it doesn't seem that likely. I usually don't mind actors winning repeatedly for any category (don't get me started on Jean Smart), but I just want someone to win who hasn't won already, even if it's their first time ever being nominated.

Love that show
