Emmy nominations for 2024 are just around the corner, with much anticipation building up for the announcement. Among the contenders, ‘The Bear’ stands out as a previous comedy series winner, despite its mix of heartbreak and anxiety that challenges traditional genre classifications.

On the drama front, ‘Shōgun’ is set to compete, deviating from its source material and extending its narrative beyond expectations. This move raises questions about the significance of genre categorizations in award shows and how they influence viewers’ perceptions of shows.

FX could potentially make history by sweeping the comedy, drama, and limited series categories, reminiscent of HBO’s achievement in 2015 with ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Veep,’ and ‘Olive Kitteridge.’

Limited Series Predictions

Some of the anticipated nominations include ‘Baby Reindeer,’ ‘Fargo,’ ‘Lessons in Chemistry,’ ‘Ripley,’ and ‘True Detective: Night Country.’ Noteworthy mentions go to ‘Masters of the Air,’ which could be a surprise entry, while ‘Ripley’ faces the risk of being snubbed despite its cinematic appeal.

Limited Series/TV Movie Lead Actress

The category for Lead Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie features strong contenders like Jodie Foster for ‘True Detective: Night Country,’ Brie Larson for ‘Lessons in Chemistry,’ Juno Temple for ‘Fargo,’ Sofía Vergara for ‘Griselda,’ and Naomi Watts for ‘Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.’

As anticipation mounts for the upcoming Emmy nominations, the industry eagerly awaits to see which shows and talents will be recognized for their outstanding contributions to television.
