Best Series – Drama
Likely
“The Americans”
“The Handmaid’s Tale”
“Homecoming”
“This Is Us”
Borderline
“Better Call Saul”
“Killing Eve”
“Pose”
Lowdown: In theory, “Pose” would be the hot new FX show for the HFPA to annoint, but something tells us old favorite “Better Call Saul” or “Killing Eve” have a better shot.

“Atlanta”
“Barry”
“The Good Place”
“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”
Borderline
“Black-ish”
“Forever”
“GLOW”
“The Kominsky Method”

Bob Odenkirk, “Better Call Saul”
Liev Schreiber, “Ray Donovan”
Matthew Rhys, “The Americans”

Tracee Ellis Ross, “Black-ish”
Borderline
Rachel Bloom, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”
