Emmy Predictions 2025 - Who Will Likely Be Nominated for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series?

Last year's surprise winner seeks more recognition.

From June 12 to 23, 2025, voting is taking place for The 77th 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 Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Performers most likely to be nominated:

1. Hannah Einbinder for Max's Hacks

2. Liza Colón-Zayas for FX's The Bear

3. Kathryn Hahn for AppleTV+'s The Studio

4. Catherine O'Hara for AppleTV+'s The Studio

5. Jessica Williams for AppleTV+'s Shrinking

6. Sheryl Lee Ralph for ABC's Abbott Elementary

7. Janelle James for ABC's Abbott Elementary

Serious threats that could break through:

1. Meryl Streep, Jane Lynch, Molly Shannon and Eva Longoria for Hulu's Only Murders in the Building

2. Abby Elliott and Molly Gordon for FX's The Bear

3. Chase Sui Wonders and Keyla Monterroso Mejia for AppleTV+'s The Studio

4. Christa Miller, Lukita Maxwell and Wendie Malick for AppleTV+'s Shrinking

5. Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline for NBC's Saturday Night Live

7. Justine Lupe, Jackie Tohn and Sherry Cola for Netflix's Nobody Wants This

8. Patti LuPone, Aubrey Plaza, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn and Debra Jo Rupp for Disney+'s Agatha All Along

Some considerable long-shots:

1. Lisa Ann Walter for ABC's Abbott Elementary

2. Linda Lavin for Hulu's Mid-Century Modern

3. Susan Ruttan, Stephanie Beatriz, Margaret Avery, Lori Tan Chinn, Mary Elizabeth Ellis and Lilah Richcreek Estrada for Netflix's A Man on the Inside

4. Edwina Findley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Molly Griggs and Julieth Restrepo for Netflix's The Residence

5. Kristen Schaal for FX's What We Do In the Shadows

6. Kerri Kenney-Silver and Erika Henningsen for Netflix's The Four Seasons

7. Stephanie Koenig for FX's English Teacher

8. Mary Beth Barone and Holmes for Prime Video's Overcompensating

Colorful oddities that still have an outside chance:

1. Michelle Monaghan, Jodie Turner-Smith, Meredith Hagner, L. Scott Caldwell, Natalie Martinez and Charlotte Lawrence for AppleTV+'s Bad Monkey

2. Linda Cardellini, Abbi Jacobson, Anna Maria Horsford, Poppy Liu and Teyonah Parris for Netflix's No Good Deed

3. Cassidy Freeman and Jennifer Nettles for HBO's The Righteous Gemstones

4. Lucy Freyer and Amita Rao for FX's Adults

5. Mary Catherine Garrison for HBO's Somebody Somewhere

6. Kaliko Kauahi and Kahyun Kim for NBC's St. Denis Medical
