With just one day left until the Emmys, here's one last look at the critical chances of this year's contenders:
What do you think, Dan? Is Louis-Dreyfus indeed the only lock, or am I willfully ignoring the probability of a “Game of Thrones” sweep in a weird year for drama?History suggests that Louis-Dreyfus takes it — but I’d give the award to Waller-Bridge. Her achievement as the auteur of “As for “Game of Thrones,” it’s another past juggernaut, and its likely win feels apt in a shakier drama series field than usual. But a true sweep is hard to fathom.
Which brings us back to comedy. Perhaps we can hope Waller-Bridge, an experienced live performer who’d also give a great speech, might be the beneficiary of momentum elsewhere. Do you have room to hope she’ll win for writing “Fleabag” — or even for producing it in the comedy series category?In a just world, absolutely yes. In reality, it’s harder to say.
“Veep” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” both have tremendous creative teams and industry support, but neither of their nominated seasons were their best by a long shot. By contrast: “Fleabag” and “Barry” both justified their second seasons with astonishing grace, “The Good Place” and “Schitt’s Creek” got deserved and overdue recognition, and “Russian Doll” twisted a tricky concept into something so smart and powerful that it’s impossible to shake.
As long as we’re gushing about “Fleabag,” this seems as good a time as any to say that the down ballot upset I’m maybe most invested in is Sian Clifford for supporting comedy actress . Are there any such longshots you’re pulling for, down ballot or otherwise?Clifford and Colman are in a great category — I’m rooting for Sarah Goldberg’s finely calibrated work on “Barry,” but would be happy for nearly any outcome.
Speaking of forgotten nominees: “Better Call Saul” has never had its moment at the Emmys, and while I’m sanguine about its probably losing drama series again, I’m hopeful for. I’m not one for make-up awards, but while the show has dimmed for me as it’s reprised the story of “Breaking Bad,” Odenkirk remains under-rewarded. I would be thrilled with a Porter win, or indeed a “Pose” one overall.
