2023 Emmy Hopes and Predictions

Best Drama Series:

Prediction: Succession

Rooting For: Succession

Best Actor in a Drama Series:

Prediction: Bob Odenkirk (Given the amount of nominations and lack of awards Better Call Saul and Bob Odenkirk have received, I could see them giving him one for the final season- as a sort of overall achievement nod).

Rooting For: Kieran Culkin

Best Actress in a Drama Series:

Prediction: Sarah Snook

Rooting For: Sarah Snook

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series:

Prediction: Matthew McFadyen

Rooting For: Matthew McFadyen or Will Sharpe (how weird is it that this entire category is entirely split between two shows! No complaints here though, I’m a massive fan of both Succession and The White Lotus).

Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series:

Prediction: Jennifer Coolidge or Elizabeth Debicki

Rooting For: Jennifer Coolidge or J. Smith Cameron (I would love to see J. get recognized and I’m also always happy to see Jennifer win, it adds spice to otherwise slightly repetitive award shows).

Best Comedy Series:

Prediction: The Bear

Rooting For: Barry or The Bear (although it’s kind of absurd that both of these are considered comedies, especially given Barry’s last two seasons- if it’s still sorted as a comedy, you might as well put Succession in the same category).

Best Actor in a Comedy Series:

Prediction: Jeremy Allen White or Jason Sudeikis (my money’s on Jeremy Allen White, but Emmys often go to Ted Lasso).

Rooting For: Bill Hader or Jeremy Allen White

Best Actress in a Comedy Series:

Prediction: Quinta Brunson

Rooting For: Natasha Lyonne (honestly, Im a little embarrassed to admit that I haven’t seen Poker Face, I just really like Natasha Lyonne, and from what I’ve seen and heard she’s been killing it in that show).

Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series:

Prediction: Ebon Moss- Bacheach or Phil Dunster, but this one’s a little more up in the air (definitely someone from the big three- Ted Lasso, The Bear, or Abbott Elementary)

Rooting For: Anthony Carrigan or Henry Winkler. I mean no disrespect, but it’s been kinda painful for me as a Barry fan to watch these two incredible talents get passed over year after year for actors who frankly aren’t even operating on the same level as them (Ie: playing caricatures, winning for a series that doesn’t require/draw on any range, nuance, or dramatic acting). That being said, if it goes to Ebon, I’ll be genuinely delighted for him.

Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series:

Prediction: Sheryl Lee Ralph or one of the Ted Lasso ladies

Rooting For: Ayo Edebiri

Best Limited or Anthology Series:

Prediction: Beef or Dahmer

Rooting For: I’m rooting for those two as well- I thought Beef was great, and while I haven’t seen Dahmer (and am not in any way commenting on the ethics of its existence) from what I’ve read, it’s extremely well made, well acted, and does a stunning job exposing the details of the case.

Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie:

Prediction: Steven Yeun

Rooting For: Evan Peters or Steven Yeun. Again, as I stated before, I thought Beef was great, and it’s hard to deny how insane Evan’s performance was.

Best Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV Movie:

Prediction: Ali Wong

Rooting For: Ali Wong, but sadly Beef is the only one I’ve seen, and I don’t really know enough about the other shows to be able to comment on them. That being said, I really admire every single one of these actresses and would be really happy to see any of them win!

**Since I’ve hardly seen any Limited Series, I won’t be doing any comments or predictions on the smaller categories here**

Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series:

Prediction: Nick Offerman

Rooting For: This is another weird category limited to two shows- The Last of Us and Succession! Both of which I love, so I’d be super happy to see any of these wonderful actors win, but especially Nick Offerman, James Cromwell, or Keivonn Montreal Woodard!

Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series:

Prediction: Melanie Lynskey

Rooting For: Hiam Abbass. This category is also totally split between The Last of Us and Succession, so same as the other weird ones, I’d be really happy for any of these actresses.

Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series:

Prediction: Pedro Pascal perhaps?

Rooting For: Jon Bernthal (but I love Pedro Pascal as much as the next person, I’d be absolutely delighted to see him win)

Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series:

Prediction: This ones sorta up in the air as well, so I’ll just go to my defaults, either Taraji P. Henson or one of the Ted Lasso ladies!

Rooting For: Becky Ann Baker

What do you guys think? As always, thanks for reading it you made it this far lol.

[stewyhosseini-bf]

ah fuck let's try again - 1-2, 8, 16, 22-25, 31? hehe

ohh okay let's go let's go !!

1. favorite pairing (that could actually work if they got their shit together)

easy. kenstewy but idk if it counts bc well as we all know. they have been boyfriends in the PAST. but i guess work again now, them!!

2. favorite pairing (cringe fail edition)

easy, tomshiv. no one does cringefail marriage like them, truly truly. i think about them. often and much. and they mean a lot to me actually

8. how do you think the show will end?

really hard one !!! well for one, Logan has to die by the end or else the show can't end. OR they all cut him off but that won't happen. any other way they are still going to be influenced by him and the show can't end.. I truly don't see any roy sibling becoming CEO, or at least not become CEO and be happy... it's so hard honestly I think about it a lot bc i have no idea! Jesse Armstrong is gonna come up w something insane that i could only dream about!

16. logan moment that made you the most homicidal

s 1-3 of succession tbh i can't pin it down further than that i think

22. favorite literary allusions or intertexts

I think the crime & punishment and Kendall s2 parallels are VERY interesting to uncover and think about ! love the nero sporus stuff too, they were insane for that...

23. least favorite thing about the show (hard mode: not comfrey)

that they sidelined Jess in s3 and instead gave comfrey such a big role (is this cheating idk. but it pisses me off). if jess is not more prominant in s4 i'm gonna be pissed.

24. dream guest star

easy. Andrew Garfield as one of Kendall & Stewy's college friends who one or both of them might or might not have had a thing with

25. favorite performance (can split into lead, supporting, and guest if you want to be a coward about it)

ok i'll be a coward but even like this it's fucking HARD to choose but if i HAVE to.: Jeremy Strong as Kendall. sorry for being basic...

supporting Arian Moayed as Stewy immediately comes to mind the way he can make me care this much about a character with MAYBE. like 60 minutes of screentime in the whole show is insane. but also right now actually wanna give Alan Ruck props he's actually so fucking good in that role. idk, very hard to pick!!

guest maybe Cherry Jones as Nan... that woman is real to me, that's just a real person idk how to explain that but yeah.. very good!

31. sexuality headcanons

I've extensively talked about my queer kendall hc or like what I deem some .. if not proof then examples of allusion to that in canon, so there's that! also gerri to me is bi and has been since she said the 'i have a sexual affair with your mother and she talks in her sleep' to Tom, idk.. ! it's kinda hard cause they put in a lot of stuff about so many characters where it's like .. would this even be considered a total headcanon still if there is actual stuff you can point to in canon idk... shiv being bi probably is another big one..
