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. So, these are my predictions for which performers will be nominated for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.





Performers most likely to be nominated:
  1. Jamie Lee Curtis for FX's The Bear
  2. Olivia Colman for FX's The Bear
  3. Sarah Paulson for FX's The Bear
  4. Maya Rudolph for NBC's Saturday Night Live
  5. Kate McKinnon for NBC's Saturday Night Live
  6. J. Smith-Cameron for Max's Hacks
Serious threats that could break through:
  1. Kristen Wiig, Emma Stone, Ayo Edebiri, Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney and Dua Lipa for NBC's Saturday Night Live

  4. Minnie Driver for Max's Our Flag Means Death
