Sterling K. Brown "Paradise"
Gary Oldman "Slow Horses"
Pedro Pascal "The Last of Us"
Adam Scott "Severance"
Noah Wyle "The Pitt"
Other Contenders - Diego Luna "Andor", Lee Jung-jae "Squid Game", Eddie Redmayne "The Day of the Jackal", Billy Bob Thornton "Landman", Harrison Ford "1923"
Commentary - I expect previous nominees Pascal, Scott, and Oldman to return, and the buzz for The Pitt suggests that Noah Wyle will return to the Emmys for the first time in over 25 years. That leaves one slot. Diego Luna missed out last time, but could breakthrough on the second try. Lee Jung-jae won this category last time he was nominated, and Eddie Redmayne and Billy Bob Thornton did well on the winter awards circuit.
Best Actress in a Drama Series
Kathy Bates "Matlock"
Britt Lower "Severance"
Elisabeth Moss "The Handmaid's Tale"
Bella Ramsey "The Last of Us"
Keri Russell "The Diplomat"
Other Contenders - Melanie Lynskey "Yellowjackets", Keira Knightley "Black Doves", Nicola Coughlan "Bridgerton", Carrie Preston "Elsbeth", Helen Mirren "1923", Myha'la Herrold "Industry"
Commentary - Another category where four feel strong, and the last slot is up in the air. Bates, LOwer, Ramsey, and Russell all feel like locks. In the last slot, it feels like a toss-up between previous nominees/winners Moss and Lynskey. Moss dipped out the race, and returned triumphantly before, and this last season of The Handmaid's Tale got great reviews, compared to the diminishing returns of Yellowjackets (although it is noted that there is a good chance that neither get into Drama Series). I am leaning towards Moss. Also lookout for Knightley, Coughlan (SAG Nominee), Preston, Mirren, and Herrold.
