Who will take home the gold at this year’s Emmy Awards isn’t always the same as who should. Here are our predictions.
This year’s Emmy Awards ceremony pits 17th-century Japanese politics against modern-day family dynamics, the drama of the British monarchy, and murders in both a New York apartment building and a freezing Alaskan town.
The 76th Primetime Emmys, airing live at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC, celebrates the outstanding shows and miniseries that aired from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024.
The FX network leads the nominations with “Shōgun” and “The Bear” earning a whopping 25 and 23 nods, respectively.
But it’s not just about who’s expected to win, but also who should win. Below are the predictions for the night’s biggest awards.
“Abbott Elementary” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” have the added benefit of being genuine comedies, while many argue that “The Bear” — with its tense atmosphere and themes of suicide and depression — is far better suited for the drama categories.
But despite the restaurant-set show running away with many comedy wins at last year’s awards, and being expected to do so again, “Curb” could take the gold given that its most recent season was its last.
The third season of “Abbott Elementary” boasts a perfect 100% critics approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And while the final season of “Curb” doesn’t reach the same heights as earlier years, Larry David remains in top form. The finale — much like the “Seinfeld” one it alludes to — might strain credulity but largely sticks the landing.
