Will Win - Succession
Could Win - Ozark or The Crown
Should Win - Succession
Commentary - All of the buzz combined with being the nomination leader in this category makes it look like Succession is the one to beat. Plus the surprise nominations in multiple categories (like Braun and Walker) show a lot of strength. Ozark is so well liked, as is The Crown, and Netflix has done an excellent job campaigning for these two shows. But I would be surprised if they are able to derail the Succession train this year.
Best Comedy Series
Will Win - Schitt's Creek
Could Win - The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or Insecure
Should Win - Schitt's Creek
Commentary - Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but I really think Schitt's Creek is going to win this year. The buzz is so strong for this show, it did much better than expected in terms of nominations, and it is the show with the beating heart. But Maisel is a juggernaut per usual, in terms of nominations, and will have a lot of support below the line. But It missed some things, like Jane Lynch, like writing, and while voters still clearly love this show, and the buzz, I think, is starting to fade. I would also watch out for Insecure. No writing or directing nods is why I am not picking it, but it has a lot of buzz, and had an excellent season.
