From June 16-27, 2022, voting took place for The 74th 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 Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

2. Margaret Qualley for Netflix's Maid
3. Julia Garner for Netflix's Inventing Anna
4. Lily James for Hulu's Pam & Tommy
