2022 Emmy Predictions: Best Actor and Actress in a Comedy Series

Best Actor in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Bill Hader "Barry"
Could Win - Jason Sudeikis "Ted Lasso", Martin or Short "Only Murders in the Building"
Should Win - Steve Martin "Only Murders in the Building"
Commentary - This is a tough race (for the first time in a long time), with recent winner Sudeikis, up against past winner Hader, and two living legends in Martin and Short. I honestly don't know who is going to win, but since Ted Lasso seems to be less potent this year, and Barry having a triumphant return (plus the whole director/writer/producer/actor thing), I am predicting Bill Hader wins again. 

Best Actress in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Jean Smart "Hacks"
Could Win - Quinta Brunson "Abbott Elementary"
Should Win - Smart or Brunson
Commentary - A great matchup between two fantastic performers. I don't bet against Jean Smart, and she is so good in Hacks. But if anyone is going to beat her, watch out for the great Quinta Brunson in Abbott Elementary, who could benefit from her show's growing buzz.
