Emmy Podcast #39: The Drama Categories [VIDEO]

Published by

The last in our 2021 Emmy predictions video podcasts ends with the Drama categories, covering writing, directing, guest acting, supporting and lead acting.

With the Emmy sliding scale of number of nominees based on submissions in full swing, that effect is made clear in the drama categories which see some with six, some with seven and supporting acting getting a whopping eight each (due to the parity rule). Even more fascinating is that my TV Awards Editor Tyler Doster and I did not consult each other on our predictions before the podcast and found ourselves eerily closely aligned in some categories we thought we would see huge differences.

There are three shows that seem poised to really dominate the Emmy nominations when they’re announced on Tuesday, July 13 and they are: Netflix’s The Crown, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale and The Mandalorian from Disney+. Both Tyler and I are expecting huge numbers from these shows in writing, directing and acting, with the first two possibly set to utterly dominated supporting actress.

With so few other returning shows due to COVID-related delays, we’re also going to see an influx of new shows like Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys, HBO’s (now canceled) Lovecraft Country and Netflix’s Bridgerton all staking claims are major Emmy nominations. We’ll also see the farewell of FX’s Pose (can they finally get an acting nomination outside of Billy Porter?) and several Apple TV+ hopefuls searching for a spots.

This podcast runs 48m 19s.
