Pete Hammond's Emmy Predictions 2021: Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series - Will History Be Made?Įmmy Producers Talk Vax Mandate, Tease Cedric & Friends Opening Musical Number And 'The Crown's UK Partyīob Saget Remembers Longtime Friend Norm Macdonald, Their Final Communications And The Real Story Behind That Famous RoastĪ perennial nominee in this category, Brown has been nominated in all five seasons of This is Us, having won the trophy in 2017, which followed his win in the Limited Series category the previous year for The People v. Here is the rundown of the nominees and scroll down for the predicted winner, as well as analysis of the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series race and the predicted winner there. The interesting thing tying all the newcomers - Jonathan Majors, Josh O’Connor and Regé-Jean Page - is that, for various reasons, they all have a one-and-only chance to win. Matthew Rhys, who eventually won for The Americans in its final season, is back for the first go-round of Perry Mason.

Brown (who just won yet another Emmy for another project over the weekend at Creative Arts) in This Is Us, and Billy Porter in Pose, the latter with his final chance to repeat for that landmark series. This means that acting winners from other recent Emmy seasons do have a chance to come back and repeat, but only two of those are still in the same roles that won them the Emmy - Sterling K. Three past winners in the category meet three first-time nominees in an interesting showdown that does not include an opportunity for last year’s winner, Jeremy Strong, to repeat, since his series Succession was delayed by Covid.
