My predictions: 4/6, picking Sam Waterston and Corey Stoll over Banks and Carter
This category is actually pretty great, though it’s surprising that Corey Stoll got left out considering how well his show did, and a shame that Sam Waterston didn’t make the cut, though not shocking given how poorly his show performed. I’m most pleased by the unexpected inclusion of Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire), also a returning nominee in the comedy guest actor race, since his show was omitted from most of the categories where it was formerly nominated. He’s a great actor, though, and it was a great role. Also joining the category is Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad), who really was terrific this past season, and a great partner to two-time winner Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad). I didn’t think that Jim Carter (Downton Abbey) would be back, and, overall, love for his show was down. It’s a good thing that Mandy Patinkin (Homeland) got nominated after being snubbed last year, and his show did even better than last year overall. Rounding out the list is Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), who, for the first time, is not the only acting nominee from his show. There are plenty of others I would have included here, but this is a decent list.
Who should win? Anyone but Carter or Paul, really
Who will win? Probably Paul again, but maybe Cannavale
