Adam Brody "Nobody Wants This"
Seth Rogen "The Studio"
Jason Segal "Shrinking"
Martin Short "Only Murders in the Building"
Jeremy Allen White "The Bear"
Other Contenders - Steve Martin "Only Murders in the Building", Ted Danson "A Man on the Inside", Matt Berry "What We Do in the Shadows", Kayvan Novak "What We Do in the Shadows", Brian Jordan Alvarez "English Teacher", Nathan Fielder "The Rehearsal", Benito Skinner "Overcompensating", Nathan Lane "Mid-Century Modern"
Commentary - Is Steve Martin going to miss out again? He has before, and the consensus has really wrapped around five contenders: Brody, Rogen, Segal, Short, and White. Newcomer Brody might be the obvious choice to be switched out, as he comes in untested with Emmy voters. Beyond those six, Ted Danson is a legend, Matt Berry surprised before, and look out for Novak, Alvarez, Fielder, Skinner, and the legendary Nathan Lane.
Best Actress in a Comedy Series
Kristen Bell "Nobody Wants This"
Quinta Brunson "Abbott Elementary"
Ayo Edebiri "The Bear"
Natasha Lyonne "Poker Face"
Jean Smart "Hacks"
Other Contenders - Selena Gomez "Only Murders in the Building", Kathryn Hahn "Agatha All Along", Bridget Everett "Somebody Somewhere", Uzo Aduba "The Residence", Tina Fey "The Four Seasons", Kate Hudson "Running Point", Edi Patterson "The Righteous Gemstones"
Commentary - I feel pretty good about Bell, Brunson, Edebiri, and Smart. That last slot though is tricky. Selena Gomez finally made the cut last year, and the show did well at the SAG Awards, showcasing strength amongst actors. But the last time she went up against Natasha Lyonne, Lyonne got the nod. I put her in this time, knowing that it could easily flip. Kathryn Hahn has a big role in Agatha All Along, Bridget Everett should get in, and never discount big names like Uzo Aduba, Tina Fey, and Kate Hudson.
