2024 Emmy Predictions:
Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Disney
Weekly Commentary (Updated: June 17, 2024): There will be six nominees in each supporting comedy category due to both failing to hit the magic number of 160. That is two fewer slots available compared to last year.
People in the industry may be complaining about whether or not “The Bear” is a comedy. Still, the funniest parts of the show are with the supporting men who are all on the ballots, including last year’s winner, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, along with Oliver Platt, Lionel Boyce and Matty Matteson. He’ll face off against the 147 scene-stealers (compared to 239 and 282 the past two years), including former nominee Tyler James Williams from “Abbott,” who can hopefully be joined by his hilarious co-star Chris Perfetti, a standout in this third season.
But with fewer spots, it’ll be hard for certain actors from other series to gain traction.
Nominations-round voting is open from June 13 to June 24. Voting for peer group-specific top ten round panels (if applicable) takes place between June 28 and July 8. The Emmy nominations will be announced on July 17. The Creative Arts and Governors Gala ceremonies will be held on Sept. 7-8. The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday, Sept. 15.
