From ‘Ted Lasso’ to ‘Better Call Saul’, this is who we predict will win the 2022 Emmys

The 74th Emmy Awards will happen on Monday, Sept. 12 at Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, and can be broadcast reside on NBC. The annual awards ceremony acknowledges tv’s greatest reveals and performances from the qualifying previous 12 months, throughout quite a lot of classes together with drama, comedy, actuality, and extra.

And with streaming companies pumping out increasingly more unique content material by the 12 months, the 2022 Emmys are positively stacked with status dramas and beloved comedies. While there’ll inevitably be snubs, for probably the most half, all of the classes are stacked with worthy contenders this 12 months, which makes predicting the winners that rather more daunting.

But, we’re going to strive regardless, so right here is who we predict — or in some circumstances — who ought to win the coveted golden statuettes.

Outstanding Drama Series

Better Call Saul (AMC), Euphoria (HBO), Ozark (Netflix), Severance (Apple), Squid Game (Netflix), Stranger Things (Netflix), Succession (HBO), Yellowjackets (Showtime)

The drama classes are predictably stacked this 12 months, however we predict it is going to come right down to Succession, Better Call Saul, and Squid Game — although we may additionally see underdog freshman collection Severance or Yellowjackets pulling a shock win. Though Succession took dwelling the prize in 2020 (the pandemic brought about a delay within the third season), Better Call Saul has been nominated each single 12 months by way of its six season run and has but to win a single time. After the AMC drama’s phenomenal sixth and closing season, it completely deserves a win — but, we’ve got a sinking feeling historical past goes to repeat itself.

Who we predict will win: Squid Game

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series

Jason Bateman (Ozark), Brian Cox (Succession), Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game), Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul), Adam Scott (Severance), Jeremy Strong (Succession)

In 2020, Jeremy Strong took dwelling this award for season two of Succession, and don’t get us improper — his extremely questionable method acting was nothing in need of phenomenal in season three. But we’re going to place our desires out into the world and provides two jail finger weapons to Bob Odenkirk. Not solely does Bob completely deserves this award, however like Better Call Saul, he’s additionally been nominated and hosed 5 occasions up to now. Just a little deal with for all of us!

Who we predict will win: Bob Odenkirk

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series

Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), Laura Linney (Ozark), Melanie Lynskey (Yellowjackets), Sandra Oh (Killing Eve), Reese Witherspoon (The Morning Show), Zendaya (Euphoria)

We’re going to go forward and guess that this race will come right down to Melanie Lynskey, an unimaginable actress who can be a first-time nominee, and Zendaya. But after the Euphoria season 2 bottle episode “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird” that showcased Zendaya’s otherworldly performing abilities, it could virtually be against the law to provide it to anybody else.

Who we predict will win: Zendaya

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Patricia Arquette (Severance), Julia Garner (Ozark), Jung Ho-yeon (Squid Game), Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets), Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul), J. Smith-Cameron (Succession), Sarah Snook (Succession), Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria)

This is one other stacked class through which any of the actresses nominated could be deserving of the dignity, but it surely’s doubtless going to boil right down to Rhea Seehorn and Julia “If You Wanna Stop Me You’re Gonna Have To F*cking Kill Me” Garner. Seehorn’s bus meltdown within the “Waterworks” episode of Better Call Saul was maybe one in every of, if not one of the best efficiency any actress has ever given within the historical past of tv, however Emmy voters are a fickle beast and life shouldn’t be all the time honest.

Who we predict will win: Julia Garner

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Nicholas Braun (Succession), Billy Crudup (The Morning Show), Kieran Culkin (Succession), Park Hae-soo (Squid Game), Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), John Turturro (Severance), Christopher Walken (Severance), Oh Yeong-su (Squid Game)

Well everyone knows it’s not going to be Billy Crudup, anyway. We’re guessing this class is the place Severance will shine, and if we’ve got to choose between John Turturro and Christopher Walken — Walken’s sleepy, ethereal efficiency of Burt Goodman would possibly simply clinch it for him.

Who we predict will win: Christopher Walken

Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series

Dopesick (Hulu), The Dropout (Hulu), Inventing Anna (Netflix), Pam & Tommy (Hulu), The White Lotus (HBO)

If Pam & Tommy had been to win this class, if could be the primary time in Emmy historical past {that a} collection that includes a speaking penis would take dwelling an award. But it gained’t. Our bets are firmly on Mike White’s phenomenal HBO anthology collection that put a magnifying glass on the disparities between the one % and the working class workers at a Hawaiian resort there to serve their each want.

Who we predict will win: The White Lotus

Outstanding Actress in a Limited Series, Movie, Anthology

Toni Collette (The Staircase), Julia Garner (Inventing Anna), Lily James (Pam & Tommy), Sarah Paulson (Impeachment: American Crime Story), Margaret Qualley (Maid), Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout)

Much ado has been made about Toni Collette’s heartbreaking efficiency within the Staircase as doomed matriarch Kathleen Peterson. And not like the destiny of her character, this conclusion appears slightly extra clear minimize. Amanda Seyfried definitely places up stiff competitors along with her gravelly-voiced portrayal of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, but it surely most likely isn’t sufficient.

Who we predict will win: Toni Collette

Outstanding Actor in a Limited Series, Movie, Anthology

Colin Firth (The Staircase), Andrew Garfield (Under the Banner of Heaven), Oscar Isaac (Scenes from a Marriage), Michael Keaton (Dopesick), Himesh Patel (Station Eleven), Sebastian Stan (Pam & Tommy)

Himesh Patel is a relative newcomer in a class dominated by established movie actors, and whereas we’d wish to see the award go to the brand new man, it is going to doubtless boil right down to award season ordinary suspects Colin Firth and Oscar Isaac.

Who we predict will win: Oscar Isaac

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series, Movie, Anthology

Connie Britton (The White Lotus), Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus), Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus), Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick), Natasha Rothwell (The White Lotus), Sydney Sweeney (The White Lotus), Mare Winningham (Dopesick)

The White Lotus has this class stacked and for good cause. If the award goes to one of many 5 (!!!) actresses nominated, and it ought to, nobody delivered a greater efficiency than Jennifer Coolidge because the grieving, self-centered Tanya McQuoid. There’s a cause why she’s the one character being introduced again for season two, and if she doesn’t win, we swear to god we are going to burn this award present to the motherf*cking floor.

Who we predict will win: Jennifer Coolidge

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series, Movie, Anthology

Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), Jake Lacy (The White Lotus), Will Poulter (Dopesick), Seth Rogen (Pam & Tommy), Peter Sarsgaard (Dopesick), Michael Stuhlbarg (Dopesick), Steve Zahn (The White Lotus)

There’s an excellent probability The White Lotus cleans home at this factor, and in that case, Murray Bartlett’s efficiency because the more and more unhinged off-the-wagon addict Armond was subsequent stage. It will most likely come right down to Bartlett or Peter Sarsgaard, however we predict the previous has a assume edge on the latter.

Who we predict will win: Murray Bartlett

Outstanding Comedy Series

Abbott Elementary (ABC), Barry (HBO), Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO), Hacks (HBO Max), The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon), Only Murders within the Building (Hulu), Ted Lasso (Apple), What We Do within the Shadows (FX)

What an absolute assassin’s row we’ve received right here — no pun supposed. We’re truthfully at a loss. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel beforehand gained the award in 2018 and Ted Lasso cleaned home final 12 months. And whereas the Emmys do like to favor repeat winners (stares in Veep), we predict newcomer Abbott Elementary has an actual shot. That stated, so do HBO’s glorious Hacks and Barry, which have each been nominated in prior years, however have but to clinch a win. This is so irritating.

Who we predict will win: Ted Lasso, most likely, ugh

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

Donald Glover (Atlanta), Bill Hader (Barry), Nicholas Hoult (The Great), Steve Martin (Only Murders within the Building), Martin Short (Only Murders within the Building), Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso)

Due to the wholly predictable nature of the Emmys, we’ve got a sense that prior winners Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis will doubtless go head-to-head. Hader fairly truthfully deserves a 3rd win for the third season finale episode of Barry, “starting now,” as he took the character to scary and emotional new depths this season — although his efficiency was hardly comedic. But Sudeikis additionally received an opportunity to flex his dramatic chops in season two of Ted Lasso. Tough name, right here.

Who we predict will win: Bill Hader

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Kaley Cuoco (The Flight Attendant), Elle Fanning (The Great), Issa Rae (Insecure), Jean Smart (Hacks)

As nice as Jean Smart is because the brassy comedic legend Deborah Vance in Hacks, which snagged her a well-earned win final 12 months, it could be nice to see Quinta Brunson pull a shock win for the freshman darling Abbott Elementary. Heck, let’s simply strive wishful pondering with this one.

Who we predict will win: Quinta Brunson

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series

Anthony Carrigan (Barry), Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso), Toheeb Jimoh (Ted Lasso), Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso), Tony Shalhoub (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary), Henry Winkler (Barry), Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live)

Numerous good competitors right here however let’s face it, this may nearly undoubtedly come right down to earlier winners Henry Winkler or Brett Goldstein. But with Goldstein’s profession on hearth, we really feel this one is inevitable.

Who we predict will win: Brett Goldstein

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Hannah Einbinder (Hacks), Janelle James (Abbott Elementary), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), Sarah Niles (Ted Lasso), Sheryl Lee Ralph (Abbott Elementary), Juno Temple (Ted Lasso), Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso)

Janelle James gave hands-down one in every of our favourite comedic performances up to now 12 months as Philadelphia public faculty principal Ava Coleman, but it surely looks as if there’s nearly zero probability the Emmys will get this one proper. It’s a disgrace the improbable Meg Stalter wasn’t nominated (in lieu of or addition to Hannah Einbinder), as she steals actually each scene through which she seems in Hacks — however both manner, Kate McKinnon will nearly definitely win for her farewell season of Saturday Night Live.

Who we predict will win: Kate McKinnon
