2017 Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series Predictions

This is yet another toss-up category, but in this case it’s likely between just two nominees for the win. Chrissy Metz from “This Is Us” and Thandie Newton from “Westworld” are your potential winners. “The Handmaid’s Tale’s” Ann Dowd could surprise, but that actresses’ Emmy chances are much better in the other category she’s nominated in, Guest Actress in a Drama Series for “The Leftovers.” Before the nominations were announced, many believed Metz would easily win. That was before “Westworld” earned 22 nominations, however, and this is one of the few big categories Emmy voters can truly show their love for HBO’s Sci-Fi Western. Can Metz hold on or will Newton start a revolution? [Posted July 25]
