Heck, in the limited series supporting actor and actress categories, one show got eight nominations (“The White Lotus”). Perhaps the most surprising omission: Oscar winner Yuh-Jung Youn, for her beautiful, layered performance in “Pachinko.” But I’m telling you right now … do not underestimate newbie and double nominee Sydney Sweeney.” Trey Mangum has quite a different take: “It’s all about ‘Succession’ and ‘Squid Game’ as I see it: a race between HoYeon Jung and Sarah Snook. Nominated also for ‘Inventing Anna,’ she’s adored, and rightly so.” I’d guess voters will want to give ‘Ozark’s’ Julia Garner a proper sendoff. Could she actually win ‘Better Call Saul’ its first Emmy? Probably not … but the nod could at least lay the groundwork for next year. By the way, she also received her second this year, as actress in a short-form comedy or drama series (“Cooper’s Bar”).ĭespite Seehorn leading the Round 3 pack, however, panelist Glenn Whipp picks another nominee: two-time winner Julia Garner, for the final season of “Ozark”: “Emmy voters finally saw the light and nominated Rhea Seehorn. (Greg Lewis/AMC/Sony Pictures Television)Ĭrisis averted: Rhea Seehorn finally received her first Emmy nomination, for Part I of the final season of “Better Call Saul.” It’s a good thing, too, because some of the BuzzMeter panelists were dipping their rag-bound wood in fat and getting ready to storm the castle. 1990’s girl power meets the Donner Party.”Īmong the notable omissions from the field of nominees: Newcomer “Bel-Air,” the massively popular “Yellowstone,” the controversial “Winning Time,” fan favorite “Pachinko” and the hit network show and perennial nominee in its final season, “This Is Us.” “The Boys” just missed the eligibility window. But as Baldwin says, “That Roy family finale meltdown is going to be very tough to beat.”įor another perspective, Lorraine Ali says, “Showtime’s psychological survival drama ‘Yellowjackets’ tops my list for its twist on a ‘Lord of the Flies’ theme. Tracy Brown says, “ ‘Squid Game’s’ searing commentary about the brutality of capitalism through its unflinching violence feels even more relevant now than it did when the show premiered.”Ĭount Trey Mangum, Matt Roush and Kristen Baldwin among those calling “Succession” the favorite but leaving the door open for “Squid Game” to pull (as Roush puts it) a “Parasite"-like surprise. Perhaps surprisingly, the superb first half of the final season of “Better Call Saul” slips all the way to fifth, with the (ahem) buzzy “Yellowjackets” third and the panel finding “Severance” memorable enough for fourth.
The most-streamed show in Netflix history finishes half a point ahead of “Succession” in our Round 3 voting.

Considering how frequently the TV academy repeats winners (“The Emmys love reruns,” says panelist Glenn Whipp), that would seem to make the terrifically written HBO chronicle of terrible people being awful to each other the prohibitive favorite … but Red Light! The hugely successful Korean import “Squid Game” gets our panel of experts’ green light by the barest of margins. Three of the other series are in their freshman seasons and one (“Euphoria”) is in its sophomore year. In this ballyhooed field of water-cooler hits, only “Succession,” with its field-leading 25 nominations, is a previous winner. If the show with the most nominations is the big fish (or water mammal), this fight is between the squid and the whale.
