Commentary - This is category where a lot of the same folks could return, or there could be a lot of shakeup. Peter Dinklage feels like a lock, but as always, there is a potential for some of his Game of Thrones co-stars to join the fray. Jim Carter is never predicted to make the cut, and yet he continues to be a popular choice. If Downton is still as respected as it has been in past seasons, then Carter, and the other Downton guys are definitely still in the mix. Homeland had a resurgent season, so if Mandy Patinkin can get in for that third season, I don't see why he wouldn't get in for a much better season. Jon Voight is, well, Jon Voight. So if we assume that those four slots are taken, we know there are at least two left with Josh Charles and Aaron Paul out of the mix. Jonathan Banks is great in Better Call Saul, which will surely benefit from the Breaking Bad hangover. Alan Cumming, Chris Noth, and Matt Czurchy could get in where Josh Charles left off, as The Good Wife had another great season. Netflix's Bloodline is getting a ton of buzz, which could benefit Ben Mendelsohn and Norbert Leo Butz. Mad Men has never won an acting Emmy, so maybe John Slattery, Vincent Kartheiser, or Bruce Greenwood could end the streak. Robin Wright and Kevin Spacey are shoo-ins for House of Cards, but could Michael Kelly finally breakthrough or Mahershala Ali? Joe Morton had to bump up to Supporting after winning last year on Guest, joining Jeff Perry and Tony Goldwyn as potentials. Walton Goggins and Norman Reedus have been so good for so many years, and an Emmy nomination would be a nice reward. Genre potentials from the casts of Penny Dreadful, Gotham, The Flash, Outlander, and The Leftovers could join the Game of Thrones guys. Also be on the lookout for the guys from Boardwalk Empire, The Affair, The Americans, Empire, How to Get Away With Murder, Grey's Anatomy, The Newsroom, Madam Secretary, or The Knick.
