Emmy Predictions: Best Supporting Actress 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: Uzo Aduba, Christine Baranski, Emilia Clarke, Joanne Froggatt, Lena Headey, Christina Hendricks

The competition: Count out Hendricks, whose show ended, and the simplest solution is to sub back in Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey), who was snubbed last year for the first time and shouldn’t have any trouble re-securing her place for the final season of her show. The likeliest to displace any of the probable nominees are Maggie Siff (Billions), now on an Emmy-bait show, and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife), a popular addition to a proven Emmy favorite. I would be ecstatic if Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul) made the cut. The other three major threats, all of whom will have no support from their shows, are Regina King (The Leftovers), Constance Zimmer (UnReal), and Edie Falco (Horace and Pete).

The predicted nominees: Uzo Aduba, Christine Baranski, Emilia Clarke, Joanne Froggatt, Lena Headey, Maggie Smith

The predicted winner: Aduba
