2024 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Best Limited Series and Television Movie

Best Limited Series
Baby Reindeer 
Fargo
Lessons in Chemistry
Masters of the Air
True Detective: Night Country

Other Contenders - Ripley, The Sympathizer, Fellow Travelers, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, All the Light We Cannot See, The Regime, Expats, Under the Bridge, One Day, Black Mirror, Fall of the House of Usher

Commentary - Baby Reindeer has shot to a winning position, but will face stiff competition from Fargo, Lessons in Chemistry and True Detective. The slot is tricky. I feel like The Sympathizer, Feud, Fellow Travelers, and Ripley are really close, and any one of them could pop up stronger than expected. I am going with Masters of the Air. It might not do as well with the actors (or we are way underestimating its support), but it is going to kill in the tech categories like previous Spielberg produced projects like The Pacific and Band of Brothers which both won this category with no acting nominations. Also watch out for The Regime, Expats, Under the Bridge, One Day, Black Mirror, and Fall of the House of Usher.

Best Television Movie
The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial
The Great Lillian Hall
Mr. Monk's Last Case
Quiz Lady
Red, White, and Royal Blue

Other Contenders - Scoop, No One Will Save You

Commentary - I secretly hope that Red, White, and Royal Blue will win (I think its nomination is safe), just cause in a eh group of contenders it was so much fun. The Great Lillian Hall is a last-minute addition to the race, but its cast and decent reviews should help it make it into the top five. Quiz Lady had mixed reactions, but has big names behind it. I would rather jump into a wheelbarrow full of firecrackers than have to reward another Mr. Monk production, but it was always a popular property. Finally, I am going with The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, because it had good reviews, and some big names. But watch out for Scoop and No One Will Save You. 

2024 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
Matt Bomer "Fellow Travelers"
Richard Gadd "Baby Reindeer"
Jon Hamm "Fargo"
Tom Hollander "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans"
Andrew Scott "Ridley"

Other Contenders - Hoa Xuande "The Sympathizer", Tony Shalhoub "Mr. Monk's Last Case", David Oyelowo "Lawman: Bass Reeves", Austin Butler "Masters of the Air", Michael Douglas "Franklin", Nicholas Galitzine "Mary & George", Taylor Zakhar Perez "Red, White & Royal Blue", Nicholas Galitzine "Red, White, & Royal Blue", Leo Woodall "One Day", Callum Turner "Masters of the Air"

Commentary - An interesting list, and I feel like we are going to be surprised when the five are announced. Like I know Hoa Xuande is a huge threat, especially if The Sympathizer is strong, but you have big names like Tony Shalhoub, Austin Butler, David Oyelowo, and Michael Douglas, who could easily get in on popularity alone. What about the young talents like Taylor Zakhar Perez, Leo Woodall, and Nicholas Galitzine? Are we underestimating them? We won't know until the nominations are revealed, but there have been plenty of Emmy surprises in recent years, so I am casting a wide net of possibilities. I know Richard Gadd and Jon Hamm are in, and the Emmy looks like it might be between them. I also feel good about Andrew Scott, who is a previous nominee, and was great in Ridley. Feud looks like a big contender, but I just didn't feel the same buzz as the first outing. That being said, Tom Hollander is in a good position to take a slot. Finally, I would hate if Matt Bomer missed out, but Fellow Travelers is not as big of a contender across the board as I hoped and he could be vulnerable. 

Best Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie
Uzo Aduba "Painkiller"
Jodie Foster "True Detective: Night Country"
Jessica Lange "The Great Lillian Hall"
Brie Larson "Lessons in Chemistry"
Juno Temple "Fargo"

Other Contenders - Sofia Vergara "Griselda", Naomi Watts "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans", Nicole Kidman "Expats", Kate Winslet "The Regime", Julianne Moore "Mary & George", Joey King "We Were the Lucky Ones", Carla Gugino "Fall of the House of Usher", Annette Bening "Apples Never Fall" 

Commentary - So I feel pretty good about Brie Larson, Juno Temple, and Jodie Foster, and I feel like the Emmy is a three-way race between them. The last two slots are a real toss up. I am going with the late breaking Jessica Lange. She is a multi-Emmy winner and a beloved veteran. Also, after her surprise SAG nod, I was reminded about how much voters love Uzo Aduba. I think she sneaks in over her rivals. But Sofia Vergara transformed, and big names like Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet (I have a feeling I am dumb for not picking her), Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, and Annette Bening could always inspire voters. Also watch out for Joey King and Carla Gugino, both previous nominees. 

Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series/TV Movie
Jonathan Bailey "Fellow Travelers" 
Finn Bennett "True Detective: Night Country" 
Robert Downey Jr. "The Sympathizer"
Tom Goodman-Hill "Baby Reindeer"
John Hawkes "True Detective: Night Country" 
Joe Keery "Fargo" 
Lewis Pullman "Lessons in Chemistry"

Other Contenders - Sam Spruell "Fargo", Treat Williams "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans", Barry Keoghan "Masters of the Air", Hugh Grant "The Regime", Lamorne Morris "Fargo", Johnny Flynn "Ripley", Noah J. Ricketts "Fellow Travelers", Anthony Boyle "Masters of the Air"

Commentary - Three guys seem solid, Robert Downey Jr. (who could win an Oscar and an Emmy in the same year with this momentum), John Hawkes, and Lewis Pullman. The rest are a toss up. I think the heat behind Baby Reindeer will bring in more actors like Tom Goodman-Hill. If voters watched True Detective, I don't know how they vote for Hawkes and leave Finn Bennett out. Fargo is incredibly popular this year, so I think Joe Keery is in. Finally, I may be just hopefully, but I think the performance and popularity of Jonathan Bailey will net him a nod here for Fellow Travelers. The problem is that recently, the supporting categories are pile ups of popular series. So will Spruell, Morris, or Rickett's take a slot as a sweep? Will other popular series do better than expected, bringing in Williams, Keoghan, Grant, Flynn, and Boyle? We'll find out soon. 

Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie
Kathy Bates "The Great Lillian Hall"
Jessica Gunning "Baby Reindeer"
Aja Naomi King "Lessons in Chemistry"
Jennifer Jason Leigh "Fargo"
Nava Mau "Baby Reindeer"
Sandra Oh "The Sympathizer" 
Kali Reis "True Detective: Night Country"

Other Contenders - Diane Lane "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans", Lily Gladstone "Under the Bridge", Richa Moorjani "Fargo", Andrea Riseborough "The Regime", Calista Flockhart "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans", Chloe Guidry "Under the Bridge", Archie Panjabi "Under the Bridge", Allison Williams "Fellow Travelers", Demi Moore "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans", Sarah Shahi "Red, White, and Royal Blue"

Commentary - The popularity of their series should guarantee slots for Gunning, King, Leigh, Reius, and Mau. I think the other two slots feel really tight. I am going with Emmy favorites in projects I think could do better than expected, Sandra Oh in The Sympathizer and Kathy Bates in The Great Lillian Hall. But The Swans are coming for the nods (how do you pick? It could hurt them), Lily Gladstone wants to follow up her Emmy nod (and could bring Guidry and Panjabi, an Emmy winner, with her), Richa Moorjani could join Leigh, and watch out for Riseborough, Williams, and Shahi.

16th Annual Awards Psychic Halfway Award Winners

Best Picture
Winner - Challengers
Runners Up - Dune: Part Two, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Hit Man
Commentary - Dune: Part Two proved that the first was not a fluke, Furiosa was a big surprise, and Hit Man should have been seen on the big screen. But so far this year, the one film I keep going back to is Luca Guadagnino's sultry, heart-pounding Challengers. Brilliantly acted by three of today's hottest talents, the tale that he weaves with breathtaking tennis scenes, sexual innuendos, and ferocious competitiveness is so freaking entertaining, right up until the sexually ambiguous ending. Guadagnino is hit or miss for me (although his talent is always present even if I don't always connect), but he proves he is in fine form with Challengers, his most entertaining and commercial film to date. While it is his most accessible film of his career, he doesn't lose his style or his knack for making the audience uncomfortably entangled. A great step forward for a talented director. 

Best Director
Winner - Luca Guadagnino "Challengers"
Runners Up - Denis Villeneuve "Dune: Part Two", George Miller "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga", Richard Linklater "Hit Man"
Commentary  - See Best Picture

Best Actor
Winner - Glen Powell "Hit Man"
Runners Up - Mike Faist "Challengers", Josh O'Connor "Challengers"
Commentary - Glen Powell has easily become the movie star of the moment, and he brings with him the kind of good-looking, laid back charm that made actors like Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey superstars in previous decades. In Hit Man, he proves that he is not just a pretty face though, as he brings razor-sharp wit and magnetic screen presence that make Hit Man endlessly watchable. 

Best Actress
Winner - (TIE) June Squibb "Thelma" and Zendaya "Challengers"
Runners Up - Kirsten Dunst "Civil War", Julia Louis-Dreyfus "Tuesday", Julianne Nicholson "Janet Planet", Anya Taylor-Joy "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga"
Commentary - Zendaya is undeniable as the master manipulator in Challengers, and it proves why she is one of the industry's most sought-after performers. She is wicked, funny, brutal, sexy, and magnetic on screen. But the performance so far this year that melted my heart was the fantastic June Squibb in Thelma. Bringing warmth, humor, toughness, and a huge dose of vulnerability and heart, Squibb lights up the screen, and proves that you are never too old to make an impact. 

Best Supporting Actor
Winner - Richard Roundtree "Thelma"
Runners Up - Tom Burke "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga", Willem Dafoe "Kinds of Kindness", Tom Hardy "The Bikeriders"
Commentary - Richard Roundtree was a great veteran character performer, who died not long after finishing shooting Thelma. Known by most as John Shaft in the original film, Roundtree was so much more than just one role. With an expansive and prolific career of over 50 years, Roundtree had over 160 credits to his name. In Thelma, we got to see why he was such a beloved screen presence for all that time. He was funny, supportive, and good foil for Squibb's Thelma, and had a heart the size of California that shone through, not just in Thelma, but in every role. He will be missed. 

Best Supporting Actress
Winner  - Maya Hawke "Inside Out 2"
Runners Up - Hong Chau "Kinds of Kindness", Charlee Fraser "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga"
Commentary - Inside Out 2 has some detractors, but I really think that it is a fantastic film. It is hard to top the original, and it doesn't do that, but it proves that Pixar still has some magic left. The film still hits the high and low notes of growing up with the same heartfelt magic that made the first such a special film for many. One of the new additions to the emotions was Maya Hawke's Anxiety, who almost steals the show. Hawke perfectly captures Anxiety, the way Phyllis Smith does with Sadness, and proves to be the pivotal emotion in Riley's rollercoaster ride. Hawke is a talented actress, and it is hard to convey as much as she did through just her voice. But she knocked it out of the park. 

Best Screenplay
Winner - Richard Linklater, Glen Powell, and Skip Hollandsworth "Hit Man"
Runners Up - Radu Jude "Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World", Annie Baker "Janet Planet"
Commentary - Action Comedies don't normally win screenplay awards, but most of them do not have the charm of this one, and most of them don't have the talented Richard Linklater behind the script. A great blend of genres, beautifully twisted characters, moral complexity, and laugh out loud comedy, Hit Man's screenplay is deceptively great. 

Best Animated Feature
Winner - Inside Out 2
Runner Up - Chicken for Linda!
Commentary - See Best Supporting Actress

Best Ensemble
Winner - Dune: Part Two
Runners Up - Kinds of Kindness, The Bikeriders, Civil War, Thelma, Hit Man, Challengers
Commentary - Dune: Part 2 is going to get a lot of credit because of the visuals, Villenueve's direction, but not enough credit is given to its fantastic, and deep cast of actors that make the film not just a visual masterpiece, but, at its core, a human story. That is hard to do in a heady science fiction film, but this group proves it can be done, and done well.
