Emmy Predictions 2024 - Who Will Likely Be Nominated for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series?
Larry David vies for an Emmy nomination for the last time for "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
From June 13 to 24, 2024, voting is taking place for The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. As such, it's fun to look at which actors and shows have the best chances of actually being nominated this year. So, these are my predictions for which performers will be nominated for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
Performers most likely to be nominated:
Jeremy Allen White for FX's The Bear
Martin Short for Hulu's Only Murders in the Building
Larry David for HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm
Steve Martin for Hulu's Only Murders in the Building
Jharrel Jerome for Amazon's I'm a Virgo
Serious threats that could break through:
Matt Berry and Kayvan Novak for FX's What We Do In the Shadows
Kelsey Grammer for Paramount+'s Frasier
Theo James for Netflix's The Gentlemen
D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai for FX's Reservation Dogs
Michael Sheen and David Tennant for Amazon's Good Omens
Patrick Brammall for Paramount+'s Colin From Accounts
Some considerable long-shots:
Danny McBride and John Goodman for HBO's The Righteous Gemstones
Seth Rogen for AppleTV+'s Platonic
Chris Messina for Peacock's Based on a True Story
Sam Richardson for AppleTV+'s The Afterparty
Iain Armitage for CBS' Young Sheldon
Utkarsh Ambudkar for CBS' Ghosts
Colorful oddities that still have an outside chance:
Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi for Max's Our Flag Means Death
Anthony Mackie for Peacock's Twisted Metal
John Goodman for ABC's The Conners
Will Forte for Netflix's Bodkin
Sebastian Maniscalco for Max's Bookie
Stephen Merchant for Amazon's The Outlaws
