Clayton Davis Ballots have been turned in, and the TV Academy is tabulating votes. On July 12, the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations will be announced, with many surprises expected across all categories. Below are my final Emmy predictions in all 101 categories (including creative arts).Last year’s Emmys saw Netflix’s “The Crown” and Disney+’s “The Mandalorian” lead the nomination tally with 24 noms each.
This year, the head authority in that realm is expected to be HBO’s “Succession” with a forecasted 25 noms, which include 13 for acting. If achieved, it will tie the all-time most acting nominations record for any series, long held by the ABC limited series “Roots” (1977). In addition, it would surpass the 20-year record for most acting noms for a drama series held by “The West Wing” (NBC) in 2002.
Noteworthy are a few guest acting stars that aren’t predicted, but on the bubble that could increase that number (Justin Kirk, Arian Moayed and Alexander Skarsgård). Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” is predicted to nab 21 nominations, including lead acting noms for Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, who are also executive producers. Gomez would be the first Latina to be double nominated for comedy series and acting in the same year.

For now, Brett Goldstein — who stars as former footballer Roy Kent, and also serves as a writer on the show — carefully threads that needle: “It’s written as in the story we have been telling will reach a conclusion,” he told Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast.

Are you taking the piss out of me?”“I don’t want her anywhere near him,” Goldstein continued jokingly about Keeley’s past with Jamie. Dunster didn’t tease anything for next season, but he recalled Jamie and Keeley’s connection.“As with any relationship, when you have been that close and intimate with somebody, there is just an intimacy between them,” he said. “[Keeley] has taught Jamie a lot about himself and a lot of how to become a better version of himself.
