Emmy Nominations 2024: The Predictions and the Snubs

With the 76th Emmy Awards fast approaching, the excitement and anticipation are reaching a fever pitch. This year's nominations were announced recently, and as always, there were surprises, snubs, and a few head-scratchers.
Let's start with the snubs. This year, there were a few notable shows that were left out of the running for major awards. "Better Call Saul," a critically acclaimed prequel to "Breaking Bad," was surprisingly snubbed for Best Drama Series, a category it has been nominated in for the past five years. Another snub was "The Good Place," a beloved comedy series that ended its four-season run last year.
"Succession," the reigning Best Drama Series winner, is the odds-on favorite to repeat this year. The show has been a critical darling since its inception, and it continues to deliver sharp writing, complex characters, and plenty of twists and turns.
"Ted Lasso," the heartwarming comedy series about an American football coach who takes over a struggling English soccer team, is another strong contender for Best Comedy Series. The show has been a huge hit with audiences, and it's easy to see why. It's funny, heartwarming, and it has a great cast led by Jason Sudeikis.
Speaking of acting categories, "Severance" star Adam Scott was a surprise omission from the Best Actor in a Drama Series category. The show's breakout star has been praised for his nuanced performance as Mark, an employee of a mysterious corporation who undergoes a surgical procedure to separate his work and personal memories.
In the Best Actress in a Drama Series category, Zendaya is the clear frontrunner for her role as Rue in "Euphoria." The 26-year-old actress has already won two Emmys for her work on the show, and she's likely to add a third to her trophy case this year.
"The White Lotus," the HBO anthology series, is another show that's likely to make a splash on Emmy night. The show's first season was a critical and commercial success, and the second season is shaping up to be just as good. With a cast that includes Aubrey Plaza, Michael Imperioli, and Meghann Fahy, "The White Lotus" is a must-watch for fans of dark comedy.
It's important to note that these are just predictions. The Emmys are notoriously unpredictable, and anything can happen on the night of the ceremony. But one thing is for sure: the 76th Emmy Awards are going to be a memorable event.
