AwardsWatch Podcast Ep. 351: FINAL Predictions for the 78th Primetime Emmy Nominations

On episode 351 of the AwardsWatch podcast, TV Editor Tyler Doster is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson to predict the Emmy nominations that will come out on Wednesday, July 8, announced by Emmy winners Jeff Hiller and Liza Colón-Zayas. 

The AW duo provided predictions for 78th Primetime Emmy Award nominations in series and performance categories and dabble with possibilities in writing and directing. The two discuss the likelihood of The Pitt sweeping nominations, how Hacks could get more noms than ever before, and how anthology series’ like Monster and Love Story will affect the race. Going through each of these categories, the two provide their picks for who they think will grab nominations and who else is in the running for each category. Listen along to find out who they think will make the cut, and who will be left out.

You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page.

This podcast runs 1h33m. We will be back after the holiday weekend with part one of our Best Supporting Actress Oscar tier ranking. Till then, let’s get into it.
