Was it Kathryn Hahn all along? That’s the big question regarding this year’s Emmy category for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series. Can anyone seriously stop the “WandaVision” scene-stealer from winning her first Emmy Award on her second nomination?

Let’s ponder the other three slots, shall we? “The Queen’s Gambit” is going to be an Emmy monster, and that gives Marielle Heller an excellent shot at a nomination. “I May Destroy You’s” Weruche Opia is massively deserving, assuming voters remember her performance (fingers crossed). Will Emmy voters actually recognize “Hamilton” as most industry guilds did earlier this year? If they do, expect Renne Elise Goldsberry to land a nod. Still, chances are an unexpected nominee (or two) will make the cut. The Emmy itself, however, is still Hahn’s to lose. [Posted May 13]
