Performers from "Baby Reindeer," "Fargo" and "Ripley" are frontrunners in the category.
From June 13 to 24, 2024, voting took 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.

Richard Gadd for Netflix's Baby Reindeer
Matt Bomer for Showtime's Fellow Travelers
