Emmys 2022: Predictions for series and acting nominations

Brian Cox in“ Succession,” one of this year’ s leading Emmy contenders.

Television networks and streaming platforms submitted 754 programs for Emmy consideration this year, and in preparing these Emmy nomination predictions I'm here to tell you I watched all of them. OK, most of them.

Some of them?

Let's not get hung up on semantics. I've emerged from my basement, blinking at this thing that I believe is called "sunlight," and catching up on everything I've missed these past few months. The Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl? You don't say! A gallon of gas costs more than $6? Good thing I haven't had time to go anywhere because I've been binging TV!

With Emmy nominations being announced Tuesday morning, it's finally time to unveil my predictions and set them free, while assuring you that I'm already hard at work for next year. All hail "The Bear"! And Jeff Bridges! (But, you know, that's just, like, my opinion, man.)

Comedy series

"Abbott Elementary"

"The Afterparty"

"Atlanta"

"Barry"

"Hacks"

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"

"Only Murders in the Building"

"Ted Lasso"

Possible surprise: "What We Do in the Shadows"

Possible snub: "The Afterparty"

This shapes up to be one of the great comedy classes in Emmy history, making "Ted Lasso's" road to a repeat win
