Emily in Paris aired its ten-episode first season on Netflix in March. Star Lily Collins is nominated for her performance. This season has yet to contend at the Emmy Awards.
The Flight Attendant aired its eight-episode first season from November to December on HBO Max. Star Kaley Cuoco is nominated for her performance. This season has yet to contend at the Emmy Awards, but Cuoco and her ensemble have both been nominated by SAG.
The Great aired its ten-episode first season on Hulu in May. Stars Nicholas Hoult and Elle Fanning are both nominated for their performances. After a disappointing Emmy performance, Hoult and the ensemble contend for SAG Awards.
Schitt’s Creek aired its sixth and final season from January to April on Pop TV. This is its first time being nominated for any Golden Globes. All four of its core cast members contend here and with SAG, where the ensemble is also cited. This show swept the Emmy Awards, winning all its major categories.
Ted Lasso aired its ten-episode first season from August to October on Apple TV Plus. Star Jason Sudeikis is nominated for his performance. This season has yet to contend at the Emmy Awards, but Sudeikis and his ensemble have both been nominated by SAG.
Additional notes: Only one of last year’s nominees, “The Politician,” was eligible but didn’t make the cut. Past nominees “Kidding,” “Will and Grace,” “Black-ish,” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” could also have been nominated. While “All in the Family” did triumph three years in a row when it had actors nominated in all four applicable categories, the more recent shows to earn that distinction, “Just Shoot Me” and “Will and Grace,” did not. A freshman series has won this award seven times out of the last fifteen years.
Who should win? I don’t love “Schitt’s Creek” as much as others, a fact that I’ll be happy not to continue sharing once this awards cycle is over. I only watched one episode of “Emily in Paris,” which was fine. “The Flight Attendant” was definitely involving, though I’m not sure I’d classify it as a comedy. It’s a difficult decision between “Ted Lasso” and “The Great,” but I’d pick the latter.
Who will win? The smart bet is probably “Schitt’s Creek,” but I’m choosing a freshman instead - Ted Lasso.
