2022 EMMYS PREDICTIONS:<\/strong>
\nOUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES<\/strong><\/h2>\n

AWARDS PREDICTION COMMENTARY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

One of the biggest stars in the world, Zendaya<\/strong> made history by becoming the youngest and second Black woman to win lead actress drama for her work as Rue in the HBO drama show \u201cEuphoria.\u201d When you think she couldn\u2019t get any better, she outdoes herself in the second season, perhaps becoming an undeniable choice as the weeks progress towards nomination voting. Along with being an executive producer, she also could be the youngest and double nominated person in Emmy history.<\/p>\n

One of the breakout stars of the year, Britt Lower<\/strong> is incredibly complex and present in the Apple TV+ series \u201cSeverance\u201d helmed by Ben Stiller. As Helly, a woman who is living two separate lives, she adds to the mystery, getting her best acting moments in the suspenseful finale. She faces less screentime than her other contenders, as she straddles the line between lead and supporting.<\/p>\n

Egregiously nominated only once for her work as Rebecca Pearson in the NBC drama series, Mandy Moore<\/strong> goes out with a bang in the show\u2019s \u201cfinal chapter.\u201d Very few television pieces are able to drum up a substantial amount of support for their final seasons a la \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d but something tells us that \u201cThis Is Us\u201d is going to have a strong showing. Undeniably her gift in television history, Moore could be one of those benefactors with an overdue statuette.<\/p>\n

Told through two storylines, the adult version of the soccer team that gets stranded on an island gives all deliver masterclasses in acting across the board, with the Oscar-nominated Juliette Lewis<\/strong> delivering some of her best work in years. Her obstacle will be not splitting votes with her other contending co-stars, Melanie Lynskey<\/strong> and Tawny Cypress<\/strong>, who also have their devoted fans for the Showtime drama.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a renaissance in the industry for Lynskey, the New Zealand native who received praise for her turn in the film \u201cDon\u2019t Look Up\u201d (2021), which was released around the time her work in \u201cYellowjackets\u201d was being unveiled to the world. The Showtime series stands as one of her single greatest performances yet, and along with giving her all in the limited series \u201cCandy,\u201d it only serves as a reminder that her Shauna, is simply perfection and wonderfully orchestrated. The Critics Choice win also provides a boost.<\/p>\n

In the awards pundit world, we consider Laura Linney<\/strong>, the awards whisperer, always contending, even when conventional wisdom may tell us she\u2019s not. This is proven by her surprise win for \u201cThe Big C\u201d and landing a surprise Oscar nom for \u201cThe Savages\u201d (2007). However, when everyone agrees that she\u2019s contending for another statuette, the floodgates usually open for her in a palpable way. Her work in the final season of Netflix\u2019s \u201cOzark\u201d will be a continuous topic of the conversation throughout the voting period, and summer months, which could net her another win.<\/p>\n

The Emmy-winning actress of \u201cFriends\u201d is back with her work in the Apple TV+\u2019s \u201cThe Morning Show\u201d which netted her another nom for the first season. While the show didn\u2019t have a large impact like its inaugural kickoff, name recognition goes a long way with the TV Academy, and Jennifer Aniston<\/strong> is likely to remain at the top of their minds.<\/p>\n

The surprise winner of the first season, Jodie Comer<\/strong> is coming off a big year in Hollywood with acclaimed turns in films such as \u201cThe Last Duel\u201d and \u201cFree Guy.\u201d Walking out of the final season of the BBC America drama show \u201cKilling Eve\u201d could give her, and her co-star Sandra Oh<\/strong>, \u201cfarewell\u201d nominations for their beloved characters, if they don\u2019t vote split.<\/p>\n

Oh became the first Asian actress to be nominated in lead actress drama, for the first season, famously losing to her co-star. Coming into the conversation with the comedy series \u201cThe Chair\u201d from Netflix, she\u2019s doubly present on the circuit, which could push her near the top for both series.<\/p>\n

What the industry learned from the sweeps of \u201cThe Crown\u201d and \u201cSchitt\u2019s Creek\u201d over the last two years, is the TV Academy has a hard time keeping up with \u201ceverything.\u201d The result of this, often brings actors with multiple projects, sneaking into the conversation in various spaces, because they\u2019re already guaranteed in another category. With Toni Collette<\/strong>\u2018s work in HBO\u2019s \u201cThe Staircase\u201d contending in lead actress limited, her work in the Netflix\u2019s \u201cPieces of Her\u201d could make a surprise entry.<\/p>\n
