2024 Emmy Predictions: Best Comedy Series, Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Best Comedy Series
Will Win - The Bear
Could Win - Hacks
Should Win - Hacks or Reservation Dogs
Commentary - I would love to see Reservation Dogs win on its way out, and Hacks had an amazing season. But The Bear's is on a roll, Season 2 was well-received, and it did the best at the Creative Arts Emmys. I think it wins again. 

Best Actor in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Jeremy Allen White "The Bear"
Could Win - Martin Short "Only Murders in the Building
Should Win - D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai "Reservation Dogs"
Commentary - The Woon-A-Tai nomination was a stroke a genius for Emmy voters, and Short is always good in Only Murders, but I would be crazy to pass on White for his second win. 

Best Actress in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Ayo Edebiri "The Bear"
Could Win - Jean Smart "Hacks"
Should Win - Either Edebiri or Smart
Commentary - Jean Smart is always a safe bet, and won for the first two season. She is going up against last year's Supporting winner Edebiri, who is great in the bear. Both are deserving, and it will be interesting to see The Bear's dominance up against Smart's popularity. I am going with The Bear. 

Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Ebon Moss-Bachrach "The Bear"
Could Win - Paul W. Downs "Hacks"
Should Win - Downs
Commentary - He won last year, The Bear is still dominant. Done deal.

Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Liza Colon-Zayas "The Bear"
Could Win - Hannah Einbinder "Hacks" or Meryl Streep "Only Murders in the Building"
Should Win - Einbinder
Commentary - The Bear has so many fans, and with its only nomination Colon-Zayas in the mix, I think she surprises. Her best season is Season 3, but that was airing during voting. But she is up against some big competitors. Einbinder should win for this season and Meryl Streep is a legend. This is probably The Bear's weakest category, but I feel another sweep coming.
