Jalal’s Take on Emmy Categories and the ‘Odd Mom Out’ at ADTV

Jalal’s Take: Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series

As a result of a tie, last year gave us eight nominees in an acting category for the first time. All eight of last year’s Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series nominees are eligible this year, although it is very unlikely that we will see another 3-way tie for the sixth slot. The category is so crowded that that AwardsDaily TV’s Jalal Haddad didn’t have the chance to dissect whether or not Netflix can sneak one of the many famous names from Wet Hot American Summer (Wiig, Shannon, Poehler) into the category based on name recognition alone. If anything, the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series race shows that the acting categories can and should be expanded to ten nominees. Take a look at Jalal’s Take on Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Jalal’s Take: Lead Actor in a Drama Series

With two open slots in the lead actor race voters have the opportunity to celebrate fresh new performances. The acting branch has two different options. They can rely on well-like actors in shows that might not be as popular or as well known (Cannavale, Giamatti, Chandler) or they can instead champion performances by lesser known actors or performances on genre pushing programs (Malek, Theroux, Paul, Highmore). Jalal Haddad takes a look at the Lead Actor in a Drama Series Emmy race and ranks the contenders from his point of view.
