2025 Emmy Predictions: Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Will Win - Tramell Tillman "Severance"

Could Win - Walton Goggins "The White Lotus"

Should Win - Tramell Tillman "Severance" or Walton Goggins "The White Lotus"

Commentary - A great race is brewing between two great veterans with fantastic performances. Goggins has never won an Emmy, overdue with a big splashy performance could sway voters. But I think the surge of love for Tramell Tillman, whose buzz pushed him into this race, will help him cross the finish line. 

Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Will Win - Carrie Coon "The White Lotus"

Could Win - Katherine LaNasa "The Pitt", Parker Posey "The White Lotus", or Aimee Lee Wood "The White Lotus"

Should Win - Carrie Coon "The White Lotus" or Katherine LaNasa "The Pitt"

Commentary - A great race is brewing. Carrie Coon had a great summer with both The White Lotus and The Gilded Age, and is the best performance of The White Lotus cast nominated here. But Katherine LaNasa has an impressive turn in The Pitt, and could benefit from some vote splitting. Let's face it, none of these White Lotus stars this year have the buzz that Jennifer Coolidge had to overcome vote splitting. There is also a chance that the buzzy performances of Parker Posey and Aimee Lee Wood from The White Lotus are more popular than Coon this year.
