I mean … Im pretty sure.

Well, it hasnt.

Will win:The Crown

Should win:The Crown.

Its closest competition isHacks, which could pull off an upset but would be a genuine surprise.

Even though I still think Oliver will take this one again, I do think OBrien has a shot.

Just give both of them an Emmy!

Outstanding Competition Program

The Amazing Race(CBS)Nailed It!

Sudeikis does, and I think he will win.

Unless theres a major upset, this is her moment.

Im not sure that is an absolute.

Will win:Hugh Grant,The Undoing

Should win:Paul Bettany.

Based on support for the series, she seems like a good bet to win.

I think the smart money this year is on Kenan Thompson.

Plus, he wastheTitaniciceberg, which should at least earn him an Emmy honorable mention or something.

My hunch is that neither will the folks who decide the Emmys.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama

Giancarlo Esposito,The Mandalorian(Disney+)O.T.

(Reminder: Throughout its entire run,The Wirewas nominated for only two two!

Emmys, both for writing, and never won a single trophy.)

This Emmy will feel like a lifetime-achievement award.

Im going with that.

That would be justified; her My Ryan,my Ryan speechin the season finaleis unforgettable.

IfWandaVisionis overlooked in other categories, my sense is that it will at least be rewarded here.

But for which episode?

I, Jen Chaney, am still right about this, though.

The question is whether enough Emmy voters looked atThe Underground Railroad.

I also might be wrong.

Arent these predictions valuable?

The safer bet is probablyThe Crown.
