2024 Emmy Predictions: Best Drama Series, and Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress

Best Drama Series

Will Win - Shogun

Could Win - The Crown

Should Win - Shogun

Commentary - Moving to Drama Series was a brilliant move for Shogun, as it sets to dominate tomorrow night after dominating the Creative Arts awards last week. It is also the most deserving winner, in a weak year due to the strikes. The only other series to watch out for is The Crown. While it's last two seasons were a clear dip in quality, do not underestimate these voters and their love for this series.

Best Actor in a Drama Series

Will Win - Hiroyuki Sanada "Shogun"

Could Win - Gary Oldman "Slow Horses"

Should Win - Hiroyuki Sanada "Shogun"

Commentary - Sanada is great in Shogun, and should benefit from the sweep mentality. But Slow Horses did well in nominations and Gary Oldman is a big name to pass up. 

Best Actress in a Drama Series

Will Win - Anna Sawai "Shogun"

Could Win - Imelda Staunton "The Crown" or Jennifer Aniston "The Morning Show"

Should Win - Anna Sawai "Shogun"

Commentary - Will Staunton continue the reign of Claire Foy and Olivia Colman? Or will Sawai ride the Shogun glory. I think Sawai is the best of the bunch and will break the streak for The Crown. 

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Will Win - Tadanobu Asano "Shogun"

Could Win - Billy Crudup "The Morning Show" or Jon Hamm "The Morning Show"

Should Win - Tadanobu Asano "Shogun"

Commentary - Asano will probably prevail in a tight race with Crudup, and maybe Hamm. I think the big names of The Morning Show will pull enough voters for Asano, who is great, to surprise.

Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Will Win - Elizabeth Debicki "The Crown"

Could Win - Lesley Manville "The Crown", Christine Baranksi "The Gilded Age", or Greta Lee "The Morning Show"

Should Win - Elizabeth Debicki "The Crown"

Commentary - The one category Shogun can't win will probably give one final big Emmy moment for The Crown as Elizabeth Debicki, who is the best part of the last two season playing Princess Diana, is set to win an Emmy after doing well with other voting bodies. But this is an open race , so watch out for Manville, Baranski, or Lee to surprise.
