Emmy Predictions: Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series


The 68th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, July 14th. As always, chime in below in the comments with any thoughts of your own.

Last year’s nominees: Jonathan Banks, Jim Carter, Alan Cumming, Peter Dinklage, Michael Kelly, Ben Mendelsohn

The competition: One of last year’s nominees, Mendelsohn, won’t be back. It’s likely that both Carter and Cumming will benefit from it being the final year of their shows, and I expect that both Banks and Dinklage will surely be back. Kelly is more of a question mark, but he’s likely too. The easy choice for the sixth spot is Golden Globe winner Christian Slater (Mr. Robot). Other possibilities include past nominee Mandy Patinkin (Homeland) and a whole slew of other contenders like Michael McKean (Better Call Saul), Tobias Menzies (Outlander), Jussie Smollett (Empire), and freshman possibilities Ray Romano (Vinyl) and Rufus Sewell (The Man in the High Castle). I’m sure there are also one or two contenders I’m not even thinking of since this category tends to turn over a lot.

The predicted nominees: Jonathan Banks, Jim Carter, Alan Cumming, Peter Dinklage, Michael Kelly, Christian Slater

The predicted winner: Slater
