Best Drama Series
Will Win - Succession
Could Win - Squid Game
Should Win - Succession
Commentary - An epic battle between Succession and Squid Game. Squid Game is incredibly popular, and will probably win more Emmys than Succession, but in the end, the recurring favorite, the HBO production, and the more traditional of the two will take the prize.
Best Comedy Series
Will Win - Abbott Elementary
Could Win - Ted Lasso, Hacks, Barry, or Only Murders in the Building
Should Win - Abbott Elementary or Hacks
Commentary - A race that has suddenly become a toss up between five potential winners. Ted Lasso could easily repeat, as it did so well with nominations, but it won zero Creative Arts Emmys. Barry is a technical achievement and could win directing, but it is not that funny. Hacks didn't expand the way we thought it would, but it is still extremely popular and has HBO behind it. Only Murders in the Building is the hot new show that could surprise. But I am going out on a limb for Abbott Elementary. Its Casting win was huge, it has so much buzz and has campaigned hard. It is also the show that seems to have the most heart, and the most vocal support. It has a 1/5 of winning, and we really don't know how the night is going to go. But I expect a welcomed surprise.
