Photo by The Emmy drama races are about to get a whole lot more interesting. With the end of some beloved shows and production delays caused by last year’s strikes, this year’s lineup of drama series contenders is looking a bit thin. But don’t worry, there are still some gems to be found.
The Emmy Awards are just around the corner, but will the nominees be worthy of the prize?
The drama series category is looking particularly sparse, with only a few shows standing out from the crowd. One of the most promising contenders is the first season of Shōgun, which is set to return for a couple more seasons. This epic historical drama has all the makings of a hit, with its sweeping landscapes, intricate plotlines, and memorable characters.
Another show that’s generating some buzz is The Crown, which is entering its final season. This regal drama has been a favorite among Emmy voters in the past, and it’s likely to rack up some nominations once again.
But what about the rest of the field? Well, there are a few dark horses that could make a splash. The Morning Show, Apple TV+’s flagship series, has been quietly building a loyal following, and its new showrunner has brought a fresh energy to the show. Meanwhile, Slow Horses, another Apple TV+ series, is still waiting for its first Emmy nomination.
The TV drama landscape is changing, but which shows will rise to the top?
In the drama actress category, there are a few standout performances that could snag a nomination. Anna Sawai shines as a vassal, translator, warrior, lover, and avenger on Shōgun, while Emma Stone delivers a unsettling turn on The Curse. Meanwhile, Imelda Staunton is a strong contender for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II on The Crown.
In the drama actor category, Gary Oldman is generating some buzz for his flatulent performance on Slow Horses. But he’s not the only one in the running - Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis are both strong contenders for their roles on Shōgun.
The TV actors are bringing their A-game, but who will take home the prize?
In the supporting actress category, Elizabeth Debicki is a shoo-in for her sensitive portrayal of Princess Diana on The Crown. Meanwhile, Lesley Manville is a dark horse contender for her stunning performance as Princess Margaret.
In the supporting actor category, Billy Crudup is a strong contender for his role on The Morning Show, while Jon Hamm is generating some buzz for his suave, space-loving billionaire on the same show.
The Emmy statuette is up for grabs, but who will take it home?
It’s going to be a wild ride, folks! Stay tuned for more updates on the Emmy drama races.
