Predicting the Winners of the 2021 Emmys

And the Nominees are...



*Black-ish
*Cobra Kai
*Emily in Paris
*The Flight Attendant
*Hacks
*The Kominsky Method
*PEN15
*Ted Lasso

And the Emmy goes to...

**Ted Lasso**

Hacks is a formidable contender here. It scored 15 nominations, including three acting and directing/writing nomination. It also helps that it premiered later than almost all the other nominees here. While it would be a bitter surprising to see it win, it wouldn't be shocking. It'll probably be Ted Lasso though. Despite some backlash for it's second season, it's still a beloved series, and it's multiple nominations in all but one main category (only one for Actor, because duh) shows that. While it may find trouble winning in a few categories (vote splitting could be a factor), I don't see this being one of them.

Power Rankings
1. Ted Lasso
2. Hacks
3. The Flight Attendant
4. The Kominsky Method
5. Black-ish
6. PEN15
7. Cobra Kai
8. Emily in Paris

And the Nominees are...



*The Boys
*Bridgerton
*The Crown
*The Handmaid's Tale
*Lovecraft Country
*The Mandalorian
*Pose
*This Is Us

And the Emmy goes to...

**The Crown**

It's time. It swept every precursor, and tied for the most nominations (including all major categories; acting, directing, writing). The Mandalorian is a beloved series, and could surprise (it's a sentimental pick), but the heat behind The Crown is just too strong.

Power Rankings
1. The Crown
2. The Mandalorian
3. The Handmaid's Tale
4. Pose
5. Bridgerton
6. Lovecraft Country
7. The Boys
8. This Is Us

And the Nominees are...



*I May Destroy You
*Mare of Easttown
*The Queen's Gambit
*The Underground Railroad
*WandaVision

And the Emmy goes to...

**The Queen's Gambit**

I was honestly having some trouble with this category, but after murdering the competition at the Creative Arts Emmys, it's clear that time has not dulled the passion for The Queen's Gambit. I suppose that Mare could still spoil things, but the Netflix chess drama looks too strong, to beloved.

Power Rankings
1. The Queen's Gambit
2. Mare of Easttown
3. WandaVision
4. I May Destroy You
5. The Underground Railroad

And the Nominees are...



*Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square
*Oslo
*Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia
*Sylvie's Love
*Uncle Frank

And the Emmy goes to...

**Sylvie's Love**

I guess. It seems like it's been in the top spot all season, and there's a genuine sense of apathy here; i.e. just check the box and move on. Don't rule out Oslo, though. It's an HBO historical drama that's got genuine pedigree (Steven Spielberg's a producer on it) and is, also, boring as hell (catnip for this category).

Power Rankings
1. Sylvie's Love
2. Oslo
3. Uncle Frank
4. Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia
5. Christmas on the Square

And the Nominees are...



*Conan
*The Daily Show with Trevor Noah
*Jimmy Kimmel Live!
*Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
*The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

And the Emmy goes to...

**Last Week Tonight with John Oliver**

At this point, I don't think they'll ever stop giving John Oliver this award. While Colbert and Noah were, arguably, more essential over the past year (they put on semi-traditional shows during a pandemic), it doesn't seem like voters are willing to go the traditional route. Conan's nomination feels like a going away hug, but I don't see it actually winning.

Power Rankings
1. Last Week Tonight
2. The Late Show
3. The Daily Show
4. Conan
5. Jimmy Kimmel Live!

And the Nominees are...



*Sterling K. Brown- This Is Us
*Jonathan Majors- Lovecraft Country
*Josh O'Connor- The Crown
*Regé-Jean Page- Bridgerton
*Billy Porter- Pose
*Matthew Rhys- Perry Mason


And the Emmy goes to...

**Billy Porter- Pose**

Smart money's on O'Connor, who could easily win this, but I've got a feeling that Porter's winning again. He's a previous winner with a strong submission and, more importantly, Pose appears to be beloved this season, scoring acting, writing and directing nominations. O'Connor is a strong contender though, with the most nominated series, a breakthrough season and several major precursors. That said, I think the role plays a bigger part in voting than most would like to admit; the royal family is not in vogue at the moment. People want to vote for who's likeable, and Porter's Pray Tell is that.

Power Rankings
1. Porter
2. O'Connor
3. Page
4. Majors
5. Rhys
6. Brown

And the nominees are...



*Aidy Bryant- Shrill
*Kaley Cuoco- The Flight Attendant
*Allison Janney- Mom
*Tracee Ellis Ross- Black-ish
*Jean Smart- Hacks

And the Emmy goes to...

**Jean Smart- Hacks**

Smart seems like a heavy favorite here. Cuoco did breakout work, and was the favorite for some time, but Hacks debuted late and hit hard. Despite past wins, she's never won the lead category; this feels like a coronation.

Power Rankings
1. Smart
2. Cuoco
3. Ross
4. Janney
5. Bryant

And the Nominees are...



*Paula Bettany- WandaVision
*Hugh Grant- The Undoing
*Ewan McGregor- Halston
*Lin-Manuel Miranda- Hamilton
*Leslie Odom Jr.- Hamilton

And the Emmy goes to...

**Paul Bettany- WandaVision**

Grant was nominated for all major precursors early in the year, but didn't win any. He's still a major threat, but I think WandaVision has just too much momentum. Bettany's series is the only one nominated for the top category prize, and scored the third most nominations overall this year. His acclaimed performance coupled with those factors, should be enough to win a rather thin year here (especially when compared to lead actress).

Power Rankings
1. Bettany
2. Grant
3. Manuel-Miranda
4. McGregor
5. Odom Jr.

And the Nominees are...



*Uzo Aduba- In Treatment
*Olivia Colman- The Crown
*Emma Corrin- The Crown
*Elisabeth Moss- The Handmaid's Tale
*Mj Rodriguez- Pose
*Jurnee Smollett- Lovecraft Country

And the Emmy goes to...

**Emma Corrin- The Crown**

Corrin did very well with precursors in a breakout performance. Typically, more than one nominee from a show hurts their chances, but Corrin seems to have much more momentum than Colman (this is, also, historically a category that doesn't get hit by vote-splitting). Colman could still, certainly, surprise; she's coming off another Oscar nomination, and it's the last chance they'll have to award her for the role (something that helped her predecessor Claire Foy win). If they split, who gets the win. Moss had a resurgent season, and Rodriguez did exceptional work (a win would be historic). Either could take it, but I still expect Corrin.

Power Rankings
1. Corrin
2. Colman
3. Moss
4. Rodriguez
5. Aduba
6. Smollett

And the Nominees are...



*Anthony Anderson- Black-ish
*Michael Douglas- The Kominsky Method
*William H. Macy- Shameless
*Jason Sudeikis- Ted Lasso
*Kenan Thompson- Kenan

And the Emmy goes to...

**Jason Sudeikis- Ted Lasso**

Even if Hacks manages to usurp it in a few categories, I can't imagine Sudeikis not winning this. It could lose everything else (it probably won't, but still), but it would be an all-time shocker if his titular performance doesn't score him the Emmy.

And the Nominees are...



*Michaela Coel- I May Destroy You
*Cynthia Erivo- Genius: Aretha
*Elizabeth Olsen- WandaVision
*Anya Taylor-Jpy- The Queen's Gambit
*Kate Winslet- Mare of Easttown

And the Emmy goes to...

**Anya Taylor-Joy- The Queen's Gambit**

This a hell of a category. Outside of Erivo, I'd give odds to everyone here. I a weaker year, any one of them would be your winner. Here, my gut says Taylor-Joy sticks the landing a wins. Winslet is a very close spoiler, and her raw, natural work throughout Mare could give her here second, but I think it's close enough that love for their series overall is going to play a major part and, judging by the Creative Arts awards, The Queen's Gambit is still the most beloved here. I think that, coupled with the strong work, will give Taylor-Joy the edge.

Power Rankings
1. Taylor-Joy
2. Winslet
3. Coel
4. Olsen
5. Erivo

And the Nominees are...



*Giancarlo Esposito- The Mandalorian
*O-T Fagbenle- The Handmaid's Tale
*John Lithgow- Perry Mason
*Tobias Menzies- The Crown
*Max Minghella- The Handmaid's Tale
*Chris Sullivan- This Is Us
*Bradley Whitford- The Handmaid's Tale
*Michael K. Williams- Lovecraft Country

And the Emmy goes to...

**Michael K. Williams- Lovecraft Country**

Voting likely ended before his passing, but he was likely the favorite before the possibility of sentimental votes. I could easily see Menzies swooping in here and taking it, based on respect for him and the series because the work just wasn't there this time (he really had a diminished role in season four), but Williams is long overdue. His terrific work, overdue narrative, and only real possibility for a Lovecraft win give him the edge to me. It'd be a nice parting gift.

Power Rankings
1. Williams
2. Menzies
3. Esposito
4. Whitford
5. Lithgow
6. Fagbenle
7. Sullivan
8. Minghella

And the Nominees are...



*Aidy Bryant- Saturday Night Live
*Hannah Einbinder- Hacks
*Kate McKinnon- Saturday Night Live
*Rosie Perez- The Flight Attendant
*Cecily Strong- Saturday Night Live
*Juno Temple- Ted Lasso
*Hannah Waddingham- Ted Lasso

And the Emmy goes to...

**Hannah Waddingham- Ted Lasso**

This one comes down to the Hannahs. Einbinder came in last minute with a terrific performance in a great new show, but Waddingham's been in pole position for a while. Though vote-splitting could be an issue, Waddingham seems to have an edge over her costar Temple, and is the likely winner.

Power Rankings
1. Waddingham
2. Einbinder
3. McKinnon
4. Temple
5. Bryant
6. Strong
7. Perez

And the Nominees are...



*Thomas Brodie-Sangster- The Queen's Gambit
*Daveed Diggs- Hamilton
*Paapa Essiedu- I May Destroy You
*Jonathan Groff- Hamilton
*Evan Peters- Mare of Easttown
*Anthony Ramos- Hamilton

And the Emmy goes to...

**Evan Peters- Mare of Easttown**

Diggs won a Tony, and scored a SAG nod for his work, but my gut says Peters will win his first. Mare has the momentum, and Peters role was a scene-stealer, leading to one of the more gutting TV moments this year. Diggs could win, but I could easily see Groff splitting a few votes with him for his goofy role.

Power Rankings
1. Peters
2. Diggs
3. Brodie-Sangster
4. Essiedu
5. Groff
6. Ramso

And the Nominees are...



*Gillian Anderson- The Crown
*Madeline Brewer- The Handmaid's Tale
*Helena Bonham Carter- The Crown
*Ann Dowd- The Handmaid's Tale
*Aunjanue Ellis- Lovecraft Country
*Emerald Fennell- The Crown
*Yvonne Strahovski- The Handmaid's Tale
*Samira Wiley- The Handmaid's Tale

And the Emmy goes to...

**Gillian Anderson- The Crown**

Eight spots. Three shows. There's a good chance that we could see some vote splitting here. If so, Ellis could come out the surprise victor. She's been nominated before, has a great submission showcase, and is the only contender from Lovecraft Country. I don't think there will be enough vote splitting, though. There will be for the Handmaid's cast member, where no one really stands out, but Anderson is, clearly, the favorite among The Crown's nominees. She's won all the precursors (including SAG, where they don't separate lead and supporting), and the show has momentum. It would be a surprise if she didn't win.

Power Rankings
1. Anderson
2. Ellis
3. Carter
4. Dowd
5. Wiley
6. Brewer
7. Strahovski
8. Fennell

And the Nominees are...



*Cal Clemons-Hopkins- Hacks
*Brett Goldstein- Ted Lasso
*Brendan Hunt- Ted Lasso
*Nick Mohammed- Ted Lasso
*Paul Reiser- The Kominsky Method
*Jeremy Swift- Ted Lasso
*Kenan Thompson- Saturday Night Live
*Bowen Yang- Saturday Night Live

And the Emmy goes to...

**Kenan Thompson- Saturday Night Live**

With two acting nominations this year, Thompson is clearly beloved by the TV Academy. I can't imagine him winning lead, so supporting should serve him his first acting win. It's close, though. His costar Yang had a breakout year, and could easily siphon votes away. If he does, I'd go with Goldstein to play spoiler. Despite the possibility of vote-splitting with his three costars, I'd say he's Ted Lasso's best shot at winning here. He's got the most prominent role, and he's been killing it in the concurrently airing second season.

Power Rankings
1. Thompson
2. Goldstein
3. Yang
4. Reiser
5. Mohammed
6. Hunt
7. Swift
8. Clemons-Hopkins

And the Nominees are...



*Renee Elise Goldsberry- Hamilton
*Kathryn Hahn- WandaVision
*Moses Ingram- The Queen's Gambit
*Julianne Nicholson- Mare of Easttown
*Jean Smart- Mare of Easttown
*Phillipa Soo- Hamilton

And the Emmy goes to...

**Julianne Nicholson- Mare of Easttown**

I had Hahn here originally, and most prognosticators still do. She's probably the favorite. This is not a category that, historically, favors the predicted winner. It favors the performances that really stick in the back of your head. There are some great performances here, but Nicholson's wrecking performance feels like the kind to slide into spoiler position. She's been on the cusp of being honored before, but her work in the last episode of Mare feels like the right time to reward her.

Power Rankings
1. Nicholson
2. Hahn
3. Smart
4. Goldsberry
5. Ingram
6. Soo

And the Nominees are...



*The Boys ("What I Know")- Rebecca Sonnenshine
*The Crown ("War")- Peter Morgan
*The Handmaid's Tale ("Home")- Yahlin Chang
*Lovecraft Country ("Sundown")- Misha Green
*The Mandalorian ("Chapter 13: The Jedi")- Dave Filoni
*The Mandalorian ("Chapter 16: The Rescue")- Jon Favreau
*Pose ("Series Finale")- Steven Canals, Brad Falchuk, Our Lady J, Janet Mock & Ryan Murphy

And the Emmy goes to...

**Peter Morgan- The Crown**

This should be Morgan's. The Crown's the favorite, and there's no clear consensus pick as to what the spoiler here may be. "Home" could, I suppose, as could "What I Know" (the only category I think The Boys could snag). Hell, Lovecraft Country or Pose could get a going away present. Alas, that's the problem; too many options to beat a favorite.

Power Rankings
1. "War"
2. "Home"
3. "What I Know"
4. "Series Finale"
5. "Chapter 13: The Jedi"
6. "Sundown"
7. "Chapter 16: The Rescue"

And the Nominees are...



*The Flight Attendant ("In Case of Emergency")- Steve Yockey
*Girls5eva ("Pilot")- Meredith Scardino
*Hacks ("There Is No Line")- Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs & Jen Statsky
*PEN15 ("Play")- Maya Erksine
*Ted Lasso ("Make Rebecca Great Again")- Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt & Joe Kelly
*Ted Lasso ("Pilot")- Jason Sudeikis & Bill Lawrence and Brendan Hunt & Joe Kelly

And the Emmy goes to...

**Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs & Jen Statsky- Hacks**

While the pilot episode usually wins, I, again, think Ted Lasso's going to split here. I feel shakier about it here than I do with directing, though. That said, I think "Make Rebecca Great Again" is good enough to score votes on it's own and, more importantly, Hacks is a strong contender. It's a comedy show about comedians, and devotes plenty of screen time on constructing jokes and/or comedians material. I expect that kind of insider knowledge to go over well with voters, particularly those that work in comedy.

Power Rankings
1. "There Is No Line"
2. "Pilot" (Ted Lasso)
3. "Make Rebecca Great Again"
4. "In Case of Emergency"
5. "Play"
6. "Pilot" (Girls5eva)

And the Nominees are...



*I May Destroy You- Michaela Coel
*Mare of Easttown- Brad Ingelsby
*The Queen's Gambit- Scott Frank
*WandaVision ("All-New Halloween Spooktacular!")- Chuck Hayward and Peter Cameron
*WandaVision ("Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience")- Jac Schaeffer
*WandaVision ("Previously On")- Laura Donney

And the Emmy goes to...

**Michaela Coel- I May Destroy You**

Whatever happens in these exceedingly limited series categories, I think this is Coel's best chance to be recognized. The series is a searing exploration of sexual assault and consent, spreading across 12 episodes. It's the most original, most writerly work of the bunch. The Queen's Gambit certainly could win (this category goes hard for adaptations), but even those that didn't love have to give it up for Coel's effort here.

Power Rankings
1. I May Destroy You
2. The Queen's Gambit
3. Mare of Easttown
4. "Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience"
5. "Previously On"
6. "All-New Halloween Spooktacular!"

And the Nominees are...



*Steven Canals- Pose ("Series Finale")
*Benjamin Caron- The Crown ("Fairytale")
*Jon Favreau- The Mandalorian ("Chapter 9: The Marshal")
*Liz Garbus- The Handmaid's Tale ("The Wilderness")
*Jessica Hobbs - The Crown ("War")
*Julie Anne Robinson- Bridgerton ("Diamond of the First Water")

And the Emmy goes to...

**Jon Favreau- The Mandalorian**

Most are going with "Fairytale", and it's a standout installment for the presumptive drama favorite. Detailing Diana's alienation and eating issues, it's one of the more memorable episodes. It'd make for a strong winner... but I think it's going to split votes with "War". Unless you have a surefire, overwhelming favorite amongst the two, it's always harder to win for either submission (last year's win for Succession's "Hunting" is an exception). While Caron's episode is the more memorable, The Crown has such a house style that I'm not entirely sure either will differentiate from the other. That leads me to "The Marshal". Favreau scored a DGA nomination earlier this year, which tells me he has the respect from his peers, as well as two other major factors; The Mandalorian tied The Crown for the most nominations, and the episode's scale. It's a beloved show, and Favreau's effort is has the grandest scale of the nominees. I think that will score him votes from people who love the show and respect the work. I think that will be enough to swoop in and take it.

Power Rankings
1. "Chapter 9: The Marshal"
2. "Fairytale"
3. "The Wilderness"
4. "War"
5. "Series Finale"
6. "Diamond of the First Water"

And the Nominees are...



*Lucia Aniello- Hacks ("There Is No Line")
*Zach Braff- Ted Lasso ("Biscuits")
*James Burrows- B Positive ("Pilot")
*MJ Delaney- Ted Lasso ("The Hope That Kills You")
*Susanna Fogel- The Flight Attendant ("In Case of Emergency")
*Declan Lowney - Ted Lasso ("Make Rebecca Great Again")
*James Widdoes- Mom ("Scooby-Doo Checks and Salisbury Steak")

And the Emmy goes to...

**Susanna Fogel- The Flight Attendant**

Being the most nominated show here will likely prove to be a disadvantage for Ted Lasso. Despite being beloved, it's hard to glean which episode would pull in front. I'd give "The Hope That Kills You" the tip; it's the season finale, a culmination of season, with some big moments that show Delaney's skill. But "Biscuits" and "Make Rebecca Great Again" have big moments too, and it's been a decade since a series with three or more nominations won this category (Modern Family won in 2011, in an exceedingly slim field; of nine series have scored more than three nominations in a year, five have won, though it's been nearly 20 years outside the one mentioned). Who benefits from the vote splitting? The multi-cam's aren't winning, so that leaves "In Case of Emergency" and "There Is No Line". While I think Hacks has more momentum, Fogel won the DGA award earlier in the year, and it's the "bigger" effort, which I think gives her the edge.

Power Rankings
1. "In Case of Emergency"
2. "The Hope That Kills You"
3. "Biscuits"
4. "Make Rebecca Great Again"
5. "There Is No Line"
6. "Pilot"
7. "Scooby-Doo Checks and Salisbury Steak"

And the Nominees are...



*Hamilton- Thomas Kail
*I May Destroy You ("Ego Death")- Michaela Coel and Sam Miller
*I May Destroy You ("Eyes Eyes Eyes Eyes")- Sam Miller
*Mare of Easttown- Craig Zobel
*The Queen's Gambit- Scott Frank
*The Underground Railroad- Barry Jenkins
*WandaVision- Matt Shakman

And the Emmy goes to...

**Scott Frank- The Queen's Gambit**

I'd been leaning pretty solidly towards picking Frank and, like other miniseries question marks, the Creative Arts Emmys cleared doubts. It's rare for the winner of the miniseries or movie prize not to win here; Christmas on the Square isn't here, Queen's Gambit is.(

Power Rankings
1. Frank
2. Shakman
3. Zobel
4. Jenkins
5. Kail
6. Coel & Miller
7. Miller
