The winners in the Emmy Lead Actor In A Comedy Series category for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021 are once again in the race. The only catch is it could be one of three people: Donald Glover who took it in 2017, Bill Hader who nabbed it in 2018 and 2019, or Jason Sudeikis who won last year. Voters have given us all sorts of reasons to make a prediction for one of this trio. The other three in this year’s race are first-time nominees in the category, but two of them are true veteran showbiz icons. This group of heavy hitters presents us with a category that is not at all easy to prognosticate, one that could go any which way.
Donald Glover, Atlanta
Glover’s series Atlanta brought him Emmys in its first season in 2017, for directing and for this category. The next year he received five personal nominations, including four for doing everything on Atlanta. But since then, Atlanta has been on hiatus, only to finally return this season. Is the love still there? Indications are it may have been away too long, but Glover did manage to at least find himself back in this race again. I find it hard to believe that all-important momentum for another win hasn’t been lost.
Bill Hader, Barry
Hader has an astonishing 24 total nominations over the course of his career, and he won back-to-back Emmys in this category for both previous seasons of Barry in 2018 and 2019. The critical reception for the long-delayed third season has been exceptional, and he is currently rocking a total of four nominations this year; writing and directing mentions for Barry, as well as a Guest Actor nod for Curb Your Enthusiasm. Hader is certainly a hit with the TV Academy.
Nicholas Hoult, The Great
Hoult is an attractive prospect for this category, its youngest nominee

There is simply so much good content out there — in fact, way too much — that picking Primetime Emmy nominees that deserve to win is a tough job indeed. If they have gotten this far, with this level of competition, then they have to be good. I have seen much of what voters have to sift through to fill out their ballots, and it becomes a Solomon’s choice in many instances, this — and every — year.
Two past winners, both considered upsets in their respective victories, are back to square off against four veteran stars looking for their first win in this category. Three of the nominees are on their last chance for their popular series but, with no one from last year mucking things up, this race looks too close to call, a real free-for-all that just might result in a major twist.
