2024 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Limited Series and Television Movie

Best Limited Series
Baby Reindeer 
Fargo
Lessons in Chemistry
Masters of the Air
True Detective: Night Country

Other Contenders - Ripley, The Sympathizer, Fellow Travelers, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, All the Light We Cannot See, The Regime, Expats, Under the Bridge, One Day, Black Mirror, Fall of the House of Usher

Commentary - Baby Reindeer has shot to a winning position, but will face stiff competition from Fargo, Lessons in Chemistry and True Detective. The slot is tricky. I feel like The Sympathizer, Feud, Fellow Travelers, and Ripley are really close, and any one of them could pop up stronger than expected. I am going with Masters of the Air. It might not do as well with the actors (or we are way underestimating its support), but it is going to kill in the tech categories like previous Spielberg produced projects like The Pacific and Band of Brothers which both won this category with no acting nominations. Also watch out for The Regime, Expats, Under the Bridge, One Day, Black Mirror, and Fall of the House of Usher.

Best Television Movie
The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial
The Great Lillian Hall
Mr. Monk's Last Case
Quiz Lady
Red, White, and Royal Blue

Other Contenders - Scoop, No One Will Save You

Commentary - I secretly hope that Red, White, and Royal Blue will win (I think its nomination is safe), just cause in a eh group of contenders it was so much fun. The Great Lillian Hall is a last-minute addition to the race, but its cast and decent reviews should help it make it into the top five. Quiz Lady had mixed reactions, but has big names behind it. I would rather jump into a wheelbarrow full of firecrackers than have to reward another Mr. Monk production, but it was always a popular property. Finally, I am going with The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, because it had good reviews, and some big names. But watch out for Scoop and No One Will Save You.
