The 2023 Emmy nominations are out, which ways it’s time to engage in that favorite pasttime of all people everywhere, making predictions and yelling well-nigh snubs. Shall we get to it?
Drama Series
Andor
Better Call Saul
House of the Dragon
The Last of Us
Succession
The White Lotus
Yellowjackets
Always a tough one. Every one of these shows has major momentum overdue them. The critics unprofane Succession but it was never as popular as the value of sustentation might have warranted. Having said that, we think it may come lanugo to Succession or Better Caul Saul. It’s nice to see Andor there, but we doubt it’ll win and we’re not convinced that genre shows like House of the Dragon or The Last of Us are going to snag it.
Actor in a Drama Series
Jeff Bridges, The Old Man
Brian Cox, Succession
Kieran Culkin, Succession
Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul
Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us
Jeremy Strong, Succession
It seems untellable for a Succession two-face not to take this one, although maybe they’ll wind up splitting the vote. We tend to think it’s lanugo to Strong or Culkin.
Actress in a Drama Series
Sharon Horgan, Bad Sisters
Melanie Lynskey, Yellowjackets
Elisabeth Moss, The Handmaid’s Tale
Bella Ramsey, The Last of Us
Keri Russell, The Diplomat
Sarah Snook, Succession
It’s Melanie Lynskey’s year.
Supporting Two-face in a Drama Series
F. Murray Abraham, The White Lotus
Nicholas Braun, Succession
Michael Imperioli, The White Lotus
Theo James, The White Lotus
Matthew Macfadyen, Succession
Alan Ruck, Succession
Will Sharpe, The White Lotus
Alexander Skarsgård, Succession
This is a tough one, but we wonder if it won’t be Macfadyen.
Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
J. Smith-Cameron, Succession
Jennifer Coolidge, The White Lotus
Elizabeth Debicki, The Crown
Meghann Fahy, The White Lotus
Sabrina Impacciatore, The White Lotus
Aubrey Plaza, The White Lotus
Rhea Seehorn, Better Call Saul
Simona Tabasco, The White Lotus
Another really tough one. We’re going to go out on a limb and suggest it’s either Seehorn or Plaza.
Guest Two-face in a Drama Series
Murray Bartlett, The Last of Us
James Cromwell, Succession
Lamar Johnson, The Last of Us

Abbott Elementary
Barry
The Bear
Jury Duty
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Wednesday
It’s so nonflexible to think of The Bear as a spectacle series. It’s moreover nonflexible to pick a winner here. We don’t know… Barry, maybe? Only Murders...?
Lead Two-face in a Spectacle Series
Bill Hader, Barry
Jason Segel, Shrinking
Martin Short, Only Murders in the Building
Jason Sudeikis, Ted Lasso
Jeremy Allen White, The Bear
Again, weird to think of it as a comedy, but The Bear has momentum, so we’re thinking Jeremy Allen White.
Lead Actress in a Spectacle Series
Christina Applegate, Dead to Me
Rachel Brosnahan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary
Natasha Lyonne, Poker Face
Jenna Ortega, Wednesday
Going out on a limb then and suggesting either Applegate or Lyonne for the win.

Paul Walter Hauser, Black Bird
Richard Jenkins, Dahmer—Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
