2023 Emmy Predictions:
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Weekly Commentary (Updated June 19, 2023): With 239 submitted names, we were one name short of securing eight nominees instead of the now-established seven. This leaves an opening for a shocking miss, but who will it be?
Harrison Ford (“Shrinking”) seems destined to land his first Emmy nom, which, at 80, will make him the second-oldest nominee ever behind Alan Arkin (“The Kominsky Method”), who was 86 when he was recognized in 2019. Emmy winner Henry Winkler will likely become the third oldest in history for his work in “Barry.”
Will Winkler’s co-star Anthony Carrigan, who’s received Emmy love before, be invited back to the party? As the emotional center of this final season, he could even be a dark horse for the trophy. Unsure what that will mean for Stephen Root, who also was a breakout this year.
The “Ted Lasso” boys are back in the race again, but the only lock is two-time winner Brett Goldstein. While Nick Mohammad has been recognized before, this season had even more fans join the “House of Worship” for the still-yet-to-be-recognized Phil Dunster. He could be the second checkbox.
With a Golden Globe win under his belt, eyes are on Tyler James Williams to spoil the party for “Abbott Elementary.” His surprise nom last year showed he’s well-liked by his peers.
The other spots could be a variety of veterans such as Tony Shalhoub (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), former nominated standouts like Bowen Yang (“Saturday Night Live”) and breakout stars such as Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear”).
My pleas surround Chris Perfetti (“Abbott Elementary”), James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”), Luke Tennie (“Shrinking”) and James Marsden (“Jury Duty”). All are worthy of a slot.
