This is one of the most competitive races this year. I’m still going with Ann Dowd to repeat, but her fellow “Handmaid’s Tale” co-star Yvonne Strahovski and “Westworld’s” Thandie Newton, many of whom thought would win last year. [Updated July 16]
Predictions
1. Ann Dowd, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
2. Yvonne Strahovski, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
3. Thandie Newton, “Westworld”
4. Vanessa Kirby, “The Crown”
5. Lena Headey, “Game of Thrones”
6. Alexis Bledel, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
