The final round of Emmys voting, which spanned 11 days, is set to conclude at 10 p.m. PT on Monday. This critical period has been marked by intense speculation and anticipation, as the industry and fans alike await the results.
Top Program Categories
Through my extensive discussions with a diverse group of voters, including one who will reveal their choices on Friday in this year’s “Brutally Honest Emmys Ballot”, it’s clear that the top three program categories are still up for grabs. The competition is fierce, with two or three nominees garnering the majority of support in each category. For best drama series, the frontrunners are FX’s Shogun and Netflix’s The Crown. Meanwhile, FX’s The Bear and HBO/Max’s Hacks are leading the race for best comedy series. Lastly, for best limited/anthology series, Netflix’s Baby Reindeer and Ripley, as well as HBO/Max’s True Detective: Night Country, are the top contenders.
Netflix’s Dominance in Variety and Nonfiction Categories
In the variety and nonfiction categories, however, Netflix seems to be taking the lead. The streaming giant is ahead in several categories, including best pre-recorded variety special with Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer, best live variety special with G.R.O.A.T. The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, best documentary/nonfiction series with Beckham, best documentary/nonfiction special with The Greatest Night in Pop, and hosted nonfiction series/special with My Next Guest With David Letterman and John Mulaney.
