Weekly Commentary (Updated: Aug. 19, 2024): Final Emmy voting is in progress and will close on Aug. 26, with several categories still up for grabs.

FX’s historical epic “Shōgun”—the second non-English language series nominated after Netflix’s “Squid Game” in 2022—leads this year’s nominations. Following closely behind is the network’s critically acclaimed series “The Bear,” which garnered 25 nominations in the comedy categories. Despite a significant 33% drop in overall submissions this year, Emmy voters have been genuinely inclusive during the first round of voting. This inclusivity highlights that diverse stories and talents resonate with audiences when given the platform.

However, it’s important to remember that the Emmys are never entirely predictable. As voting concludes, there’s always the potential for surprises and upsets.

Over its three seasons, “Abbott Elementary” has won four Emmy Awards and landed 20 nominations, with nine of those nods coming from the upcoming 2024 ceremony on September 15. According to series star Chris Perfetti, much of the ABC sitcom’s success is due to the “very specific and very real” cast of characters developed by “Abbott” creator, actress, and writer Quinta Brunson. The ensemble, creators, and director spoke about the joy of working on this truncated season at a recent Emmy FYC event.

Current predictions are below and updated on the individual category pages.

Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, the famed father-son duo who both won Emmys for “Schitt’s Creek,” will emcee this year’s ceremony, which will air live on ABC on Sunday, September 15. The Creative Arts and Governors Gala ceremonies will occur over two nights on Sept. 7-8.

Top 4 projected winning leaders (series): “Shōgun” (12); “The Bear” (11); “Baby Reindeer” and “The Crown” and “Fallout” (5); “Hacks,” “Ripley” and “Saturday Night Live” (4)

Top 4 projected winning leaders (networks): FX (27); Netflix (23); Max (12); NBC (6)
