Emmys 2020: Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series Predictions

Can “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s” Rachel Brosnahan make an Emmys comeback? After winning in 2018, she saw Phoebe Waller-Bridge win it for “Fleabag” last year. Now, “Schitt’s Creek’s” Catherine O’Hara appears to be in the driver’s seat for her iconic performance as Moira Rose. But, 2019’s surprise nominee Christina Applegate is waiting in the wings to surprise both frontrunners. We’re going with O’Hara for now, but Brosnahan and Applegate have a better shot than most people think. [Updated August 31]
