2026 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Patrick Ball "The Pitt"

Billy Crudup "The Morning Show"

Shawn Hatosy "The Pitt"

Gerran Howell "The Pitt"

Jack Lowden "Slow Horses"

Tom Pelphrey "Task"

Carlos Manuel-Vesga "Pluribus"

Other Contenders - James Marsden "Paradise", Dexter Sol Ansell "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms", Jacob Elrodi "Euphoria", Ken Leung "Industry", Kit Harington "Industry", Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje "Euphoria", Babou Ceesay "Alien: Earth"

Commentary - Can Billy Crudup keep getting in? Despite the ups and downs of The Morning Show, he is the one constant. I have three actors from The Pitt making the cut, with Howell being the weakest link (he's not in terms of talent, but its a tight race). Jack Lowden got it before, Tom Pelphrey is always a standout, and Manuel-Vesga held his own in a newcomer to the race. I think last year's nominee Marsden should not be discounted, neither should newcomer Ansell. Elrodi is a recent nominee, if Industry is ever recognized there are two talents waiting in the wings, and watch out for a Ceesay upset!

Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Isa Briones "The Pitt"

Fiona Dourif "The Pitt"

Taylor Dreaden "The Pitt"

Allison Janney "The Diplomat"

Katherine LaNasa "The Pitt"

Sepideh Moafi "The Pitt"

Julianne Nicholson "Paradise"

Other Contenders - Karolina Wydra "Pluribus", Emilia Jones "Task", Sydney Sweeney "Euphoria", Marisa Abela "Industry", Ann Dowd "The Testaments", Supriya Ganesh "The Pitt", Nichole Beharie "The Morning Show", Karen Pittman "The Morning Show", Winona Ryder "Stranger Things"

Commentary - Is five from The Pitt to much? Probably, but honestly, I couldn't pick four, so I included all five. I also included Emmy favorites Julianne Nicholson and Allison Janney. That means I left out Karolina Wydra, and after Janney was snubbed last year, maybe I am including the wrong contender? I also think that Jons, Abela, Sweeney, Dowd, Beharie and Pittman are possibilities. And is Ganesh the fifth contender for The Pitt? 

2026 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Paul W. Downs "Hacks"

Harrison Ford "Shrinking"

Ebon Moss-Bachrach "The Bear"

Nick Offerman "Margo's Got Money Troubles"

Stephen Root "Widow's Bay"

Michael Urie "Shrinking"

Tyler James Williams "Abbott Elementary",

Other Contenders - Bowen Yang "Saturday Night Live", Colman Domingo "The Four Seasons", Ted McGinley "Shrinking", Marcello Hernandez "Saturday Night Live", Daniel Radcliffe "The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins", Chris Perfetti "Abbott Elementary"

Commentary - Downs, Ford, and Urie feel like locks. Everyone else could be interchangeable. Nick Offerman is a multi-nominee, and the new kid on the block. Tyler James Williams and Ebon Moss-Bachrach have been consistent, but the shows are starting to age. Stephen Root was nominated back in the Barry days, again the new kid on the block, so no precedent. I think last year's nominees Yang and Domingo could easily get back in, and I would watch out for McGinley, Hernandez, Radcliffe, and the ever overlooked Chris Perfetti. 

Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Hannah Einbinder "Hacks"

Janelle James "Abbott Elementary"

Kate O'Flynn "Widow's Bay"

Sheryl Lee Ralph "Abbott Elementary"

Michelle Pfeiffer "Margo's Got Money Troubles"

Meg Stalter "Hacks"

Other Contenders - Carol Burnett "Palm Royale", Ashley Padilla "Saturday Night Live", Liza Colon-Zayas "The Bear", Danielle Deadwyler "Rooster", Laurie Metcalf "Big Mistakes", Robby Hoffman "Hacks", Meryl Streep "Only Murders in the Building", K Callan "Widow's Bay", Dale Dickey "Widow's Bay", Lisa Ann Walter "Abbott Elementary", Erika Alexander "The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins"

Commentary - Am I stupid to leave out Carol Burnett? Probably, because if anyone can overcome the Palm Royale cancellation, it is the living legend. Instead, I feel like voters are going to move on. I expect perennial favorites like Einbinder, James, and Ralph to get back in, and be joined by the legendary Michelle Pfeiffer. Kate O'Flynn is a bit of a wildcard, but if voters are in on Widow's Bay, then she is in the race. Finally, I am going out on a limb for one of my personal favorites Meg Stalter, who is a consistent and overlooked standout on Hacks. But you still have Burnett, previous winner Colon-Zayas, and big names like Metcalf and Streep. Robby Hoffman is a previous nominee for this role, Padilla is a SNL breakout, Callan and Dickey could join O'Flynn, and I hold eternal hope for Lisa Ann Walter and Erika Alexander, who both deserve recognition. 

2026 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Guest Actor and Guest Actress in a Drama Series

Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series

Colman Domingo "Euphoria"

Eric Dane "Euphoria"

Ernest Harden Jr. "The Pitt"

Jeff Kober "The Pitt"

Jonathan Pryce "Slow Horses"

Bradley Whitford "The Diplomat"

Other Contenders - Jeff Hiller "Pluribus", Giancarlo Esposito "The Boys", Samba Schutte "Pluribus", Jeremy Irons "The Morning Show", 

Commentary - I think the power of Colman Domingo will get him in, even if voters have moved on (hopefully they have) from Euphoria overall. Same for the late great Eric Dane, who deserves some posthumous recognition for a stellar television career. Bradley Whitford in a big Drama Series contender seems like a no brainer. Pryce has been nominated recently for this role, and I expect the power of The Pitt to bring in Harden Jr. and Kober. But that leaves recent winner Jeff Hiller, Emmy favorite Esposito on the outside of the race. 

Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series

Brittany Allen "The Pitt"

Tal Anderson "The Pitt"

Ayesha Harris "The Pitt"

Miriam Shor "Pluribus"

Merritt Wever "The Gilded Age"

Shailene Woodley "Paradise"

Other Contenders - Elisabeth Moss "The Testaments", Tina Ivlev "The Pitt", Danielle Deadwyler "Euphoria", Priscilla Delgado "Euphoria", Isabella Rosellini "The Beauty", 

Commentary - I expect The Pitt to do extremely well here, with Allen and Anderson feeling really solid, and Harris as a potential surprise third in this category. Buzz has built for the rolls of Miriam Shor and Shailene Woodley, and both series are big contenders in other categories. The last slot is based on name alone. Emmy voters love Merritt Wever, the same could be said for a close seventh Elisabeth Moss, even though I am not sure about their series overall love. The same could also be said for the legendary Isabella Rosellini and The Beauty. Ivley could bring a fourth Pitt Actress, and if Euphoria still is strong, then watch out for Deadwyler and Delgado. 

2026 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Guest Actor and Guest Actress in a Comedy Series

Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series

Jon Bernthal "The Bear"

Jeff Daniels "Shrinking"

Michael J. Fox "Shrinking"

Brett Goldstein "Shrinking"

Christopher MacDonald "Hacks"

Rob Reiner "The Bear"

Other Contenders - Connor Storrie "Saturday Night Live", Ryan Gosling "Saturday Night Live", Andrew Scott "The Comeback", Hamlish Linklater "Widow's Bay", James Burrows "The Comeback", Colman Domingo "Saturday Night Live", Peter Dinklage "The Lowdown", Tony Goldwyn "Hacks", Christopher Briney "Hacks"

Commentary - A lot of big names, and previous Emmy winners could populate this race. Recent winners Brett Goldstein and Jon Bernthal feel like easy nominees. I also expect the Emmy favorites Jeff Daniels and Michael J. Fox to inspire a lot of votes. I also think that Rob Reiner will get a posthumous nod after his tragic death. Finally, I put Christopher MacDonald back into my top five. This is an oddly weak year, and Hacks strong final season should play well across the categories. I had Connor Storrie, and if he gets in, it showcases the buzz and strength of Heated Rivalry. Also I am on the lookout for Ryan Gosling, Andrew Scott, Colman Domingo, Hamlish Linkalter, James Burrows, Peter Dinklage and Tony Goldwyn. All are big names in buzzed projects that could surprise. Especially in the Guest categories which are known for their surprises. 

Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series

Candice Bergen "Shrinking"

Lesley Bibb "Hacks"

Jamie Lee Curtis "The Bear"

Laurie Metcalf "Hacks"

Cherry Jones "Hacks"

Kaitlin Olson "Hacks"

Other Contenders - Amy Poehler "Saturday Night Live", Betty Gilpin "Widow's Bay", Lauren Weedman "Hacks", Ariana Grande "Saturday Night Live", Connie Britton "Rooster", Ayo Edebiri "I Love LA", Melissa McCarthy "Saturday Night Live", Jane Adams "Hacks", Anna Konkle "Hacks", 

Commentary - Is Hacks really taking four slots? I'm not completely sold on it, but I think it is going to do well. I also included the legends Jamie Lee Curtis and Candice Bergen for buzzy roles in top contenders. If they decide to spread the love, SNL has Amy Poehler, Melissa McCarthy, and Ariana Grande. Betty Gilpin is a recently Emmy favorite, as are Connie Britton and Ayo Edebiri. Also, there could be more Hacks people! Don't discount recent nominee Jane Adams and Anna Konkle.

2026 Emmy Nomination Predictions - Best Limited Series and Television Movie

Best Limited Series

The Beast in Me

Beef

DTF St Louis

Half Man

Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette

Other Contenders - All Her Fault, Lord of the Flies, Death by Lightning, Black Rabbit, Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Bait, His and Hers, Imperfect Women

Commentary - I feel good about Beef, Half Man, and The Beast in Me. The last two slots are a bit trickier. HBO always does better than expected, so I think DTF St Louis is going to sneak in, and the buzz around Love Story will be enough for it to make the cut. But watch out for All Her Fault, the well reviewed Lord of the Flies, Death by Lightning and Monster. 

Best Television Movie

Deep Cover

People We Meet on Vacation

Remarkably Bright Creatures

Straw

Swiped

Other Contenders - Miss You, Love You, The Best You Can, Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice, Jack Ryan: Ghost War, Oh. What. Fun., Good Omens, Heads of State

Commentary - I think that Miss You, Love You is the wildcard sixth that could replace, but these five feel relatively solid in a weak race. 

2026 Emmy Nomination Predictions - Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie

Best Actor in a Limited Series/TV Movie

Jamie Bell "Half Man"

Charlie Hunnam "Monster: The Ed Gein Story"

Paul Anthony Kelly "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette"

Oscar Isaac "Beef"

Matthew Rhys "The Beast In Me"

Other Contenders - Riz Ahmed "Bait", Jason Bateman "Black Rabbit", Lewis Pullman "Remarkably Bright Creatures", Michael Shannon "Death By Lightning", Tom Blyth "People We Meet on Vacation", Jude Law "Black Rabbit", Matthew Macfayden "Death by Lightning", Mitchell Roberston "Half Man"

Commentary - Oscar Isaac is a lock, with Beef's second outing looking to lead the way in a weak field. I would also count in Emmy-winner Matthew Rhys, for the well-received The Beast In Me. Half Man is not as well-received as Baby Reindeer, but I think a lot of goodwill and decent reviews will carry it to Emmy success. So consider Jamie Bell in. The last two slots I am going with big roles in not great series, Paul Anthony Kelly and Charlie Hunnam. But, if voters realize that neither Ryan Murphy series is really that great, then look for big names like Riz Ahmed, Jason Bateman, Lewis Pullman, Michael Shannon, Jude Law, and Emmy winner Matthew Macfayden. Also watch for Tom Blyth and Mitchell Robertson to join his co-star.

Best Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie

Claire Danes "The Beast In Me"

Sally Field "Remarkably Bright Creatures"

Carey Mulligan "Beef"

Sarah Pigeon "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette"

Sarah Snook "All Her Fault"

Other Contenders - Kerry Washington "Imperfect Women", Tessa Thompson "His and Hers", Robin Wright "The Girlfriend", Allison Janney "Miss You Love You", Patricia Arquette "Murdaugh: Death in the Family", Rachel Weisz "Vladimir"

Commentary - Claire Danes and Sarah Snook both are previous winners and did well on the Fall circuit. Beef is going to do very well, and Oscar-nominee Carey Mulligan could easily win here. Despite mixed reviews, I still believe in the Emmy power of Sally Field, and I think that Sarah Pigeon will make the cut for her role in Love Story, which will overcome mixed reactions to Emmy nomination glory. But, this race is in flux. Watch out for Emmy winners/nominees like Kerry Washington, Robin Right, Patricia Arquette, and big names like Rachel Weisz and Tessa Thompson. 

Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series/TV Movie

Jason Bateman "DTF St. Louis"

Richard Gadd "Half Man"

David Harbour "DTF St. Louis"

Charles Melton "Beef"

Alessandro Nivola "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette"

Other Contenders - Jonathan Banks "The Beast In Me", Jake Lacy "All Her Fault", Troy Kotsur "Black Rabbit", Nick Offerman "Death By Lightning", Stuart Campbell "Half Man", Tom Hollander "Monster: The Ed Gein Story", Richard Jenkins "DTF St. Louis", Michael Pena "All Her Fault", Bradley Whitford "Death By Lightning"

Commentary - This race has a lot of potential for upsets. I feel good about Charles Melton and Richard Gadd, but otherwise it can go many ways. Previous winners/nominees Jason Bateman and David Harbour could be wildcards, but I am betting on popularity. Love Story seems to be doing well in the odds, so I am including Alessandro Nivola. But I am on the lookout for Banks, Lacy, Kotsur, Offerman, Campell, Hollander, Jenkins, Pena, and Whitford. All are big names, lots of recognition amongst the bunch, and it could end up looking like a very different final six than predicted. 

Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie

Linda Cardellini "DTF St. Louis"

Dakota Fanning "All Her Fault"

Laurie Metcalf "Monster: The Ed Gein Story"

Cailee Spaeny "Beef"

Naomi Watts "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette"

Yuh-Jung Youn "Beef"

Other Contenders - Grace Gummer "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette", Constance Zimmer "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette", Brittany Snow "The Beast in Me", Betty Gilpin "Death By Lightning", Lesley Manville "Monster: The Ed Gein Story", Teyana Taylor "Straw", Sophia Lillis "All Her Fault", Elisabeth Moss "Imperfect Women",

Commentary - YJ! You all know my love for YJ, and I think she and her co-star Cailee Spaeny are going to easily make the cut. After that, I am banking on the names and performances of Dakota Fanning, Naomi Watts, and Laurie Metcalf. But I would also not be shocked by Gummer, Zimmer, Snow, Gilpin, Manville, Taylor, Lillis, or Moss. Again, another race in flux that really depends of voters tastes.
