Emmy-Winning Predictions

Jon Hamm has done very well in his career playing antiheroes. That’s how he first gained fame, as Don Draper in Mad Men, for which he finally won an Emmy on his eighth try.

This is the first time he’s playing a straight villain, and he earns this nod with an especially vicious turn as a homicidal South Dakota sheriff who believes he has more power than he does. Hamm is menacing and downright scary in a way he never has been, and it’s impossible to take your eyes off him. It’s perhaps the best thing he’s ever done, minus Draper of course, and blows away his other major role this year...

Still, as good as he is — and he is good — I don’t think he wins because of how brilliant Andrew Scott is in the title role of Netflix’s Ripley adaptation. Scott is magnetic as the legendary literary conman Thomas Ripley, oozing charm and deceit with every breath.

If the only adaptation of author Patricia Highsmith’s work you’ve ever seen is the one that starred Matt Damon a quarter century ago, do yourself a favor and sit down to watch this more immersive version. Damon is a talented guy, no question, but what Scott does here makes it seem like Damon was in a school play.

If I were voting, I would seriously consider flipping a coin to decide whether I would vote for Scott or Hamm, then I would think about it one more time and would write Scott’s name down. I think most Emmy voters will do the same. 

Who Should Win: Andrew Scott Who Will Win: Andrew Scott...'
