2023 Emmy Predictions: Guest Acting Categories

Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series
Will Win - Nick Offerman "The Last of Us"
Could Win - Murray Bartlett "The Last of Us" or James Cromwell "Succession"
Should Win - Bartlett or Offerman
Commentary - I really want one of The Last of Us couple to win. I think Offerman is in the lead. But Bartlett is a recent winner, and could surprise. If they split, watch for James Cromwell.

Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series
Will Win - Harriet Walter "Succession"
Could Win - Melanie Lynskey "The Last of Us"
Should Win - Harriet Walter "Succession"
Commentary - I really hope that Harriet Walter finally wins for Succession. She seems to have her chance. But with all nominees coming from just two shows, this really could throw a curveball. I would watch out for Melanie Lynskey. This could be the way they reward her for Last of Us and Yellowjackets. 

Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Jon Bernthal "The Bear"
Could Win - Nathan Lane "Only Murders in the Building", Pedro Pascal "Saturday Night Live", Luke Kirby "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"
Should Win - Pedro Pascal "Saturday Night Live"
Commentary - This is a really tough race. A lot of pundits are leaning towards Jon Bernthal, which is a solid pick. But I am weary. Nathan Lane and Luke Kirby have both won for these characters before, and Pedro Pascal was great on SNL and is pulling double duty. This is a tight race where an upset is likely. 

Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Taraji P. Henson "Abbott Elementary"
Could Win - Becky Ann Baker "Ted Lasso", Judith Light "Poker Face", Quinta Brunson "Abbott Elementary"
Should Win - Taraji P. Henson "Abbott Elementary"
Commentary - Taraji P. Henson is the big name, the flashy performance, and is in the lead. But watch out for Becky Ann Baker, a popular favorite character actor, the legendary Judith Light, and Quinta Brunson, who, with two nominations this year, could be a double winner.
