2017 Emmy Nomination Predictions

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie

Martin Freeman, “Sherlock: The Lying Detective”
Alfred Molina, “Feud: Bette and Joan”
David Thewlis, “Fargo”
Michael Stuhlbarg, “Fargo”
Alexander Skarsgard, “Big Little Lies”
Stanley Tucci, “Feud: Bette and Joan”

Ready to crash: Hank Azaria (“The Wizard of Lies”)
You in danger girl: Michael Sthulbarg
Already snubbed: Benito Martinez (“American Crime”)
Lowdown: It’s a flip ’em between Azaria and Sthulbarg, but we’re guessing the “Fargo” actor gets the call.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series

Millie Bobby Brown, “Stranger Things”
Ann Dowd, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
Chrissy Metz, “This Is Us”
Thandie Newton, “Westworld”
Winona Ryder, “Stranger Things”
Uzo Aduba, “Orange is the New Black”

Ready to crash: Margo Martindale (“The Americans”), Constance Zimmer (“UnReal”), Vera Farminga (“Bates Motel”)
You in danger girl: Ann Dowd, Winona Ryder
Already snubbed: Rhea Seehorn (“Better Call Saul”), Amy Brenneman (“The Leftovers”), Aubrey Plaza (“Legion”)
Lowdown: Is Ann Dowd wishful thinking? Possibly, but wouldn’t you prefer her over Margo Martindale’s barely there season on “The Americans”? (And, trust, we love us some Margo).

Thandie Newton, Westworld

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

Anna Chlumsky, “Veep”
Gabby Hoffman, “Transparent”
Judith Light, “Transparent”
Kate McKinnon, “Saturday Night Live”
Rita Moreno, “One Day At A Time”
Jane Krakowski, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”

Ready to crash: Andrea Martin (“Great News”), Zazie Beetz (“Atlanta”)
You in danger girl: Jane Krakowski, Gabby Hoffman
Already snubbed: Kathryn Hahn (“Transparent”), Olivia Colman (“Fleabag”), Jenifer Lewis (“Black-ish”)
Lowdown: If not Gabby Hoffman or Jane Krakowski than expect the legendary Andrea Martin to earn her first Emmy acting nomination.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie

Laura Dern, “Big Little Lies”
Judy Davis, “Feud: Bette and Joan”
Regina King, “American Crime”
Sarah Paulson, “American Horror Story: Roanoke”
Michelle Pfeiffer, “The Wizard of Lies”
Shailene Woodley, “Big Little Lies”

Ready to crash: Mary Elizabeth Winstead (“Fargo”), Diane Keaton (“The Young Pope”)
You in danger girl: Sarah Paulson
Already snubbed: Jackie Hoffman (“Feud: Bette and Joan”)
Lowdown: We get that Judy Davis is the bigger name, but give us a moment of solace over the fact that an  incredible performance by her co-star, Jackie Hoffman, is going to be overlooked.

Outstanding Variety Sketch

“Billy on the Street”
“Documentary Now!”
“Drunk History”
“Portlandia”
“Saturday Night Live”
“Tracey Ullman’s Show”

Ready to crash: “Maya and Marty”
You in danger girl: “Billy on the Street”
Already snubbed: “The President’s Show”
Lowdown: TruTV really went above and beyond with its Emmy campaign for “Billy on the Street” and that might just be enough to get it into the fold over the more traditional (and underrated) “Maya and Marty.”

Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program

Alec Baldwin, “Match Game”
RuPaul Charles, “RuPaul’s Drag Race”
Carson Daly, “The Voice”
Tom Bergeron, “Dancing With the Stars”
Heidi Klum and Tim Gun, “Project Runway”
Steve Harvey, “Little Big Shots”

Ready to crash: Anthony Anderson, “The Voice”
You in danger girl: Steve Harvey
Already snubbed: Martha Stewart and Snoop (“Dogg Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party”), Cat Deeley (“So You Think You Can Dance”)
Lowdown: It will be an interesting battle to see if last year’s winner, RuPaul Charles, wins over Emmy favorite Alec Baldwin when all is said and done.
