TELEVISION PREDICTIONS

BEST SERIES DRAMA

Our prediction: “Succession”

A no-brainer. One of the most critically acclaimed series of recent years — with riveting acting all round — called it quits with a take-no-prisoners finale. The other nominees: “1923” “The Crown” “The Diplomat” “The Last of Us” “The Morning Show”

BEST SERIES, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

“Barry” There was not a wasted moment in the f inal season of “Barry,” which went out with a literal bang and will be remembered as one of the best series of the decade with a stellar supporting cast. “Abbott Elementary” “The Bear” “Jury Duty” “Only Murders in the Building” “Ted Lasso”

BEST ACTOR, DRAMA

Jeremy Strong, “Succession.” His riveting performance as the assertive, anxious, doubt-ridden paradox Kendall Roy was a thing to behold. So good that he will withstand the competition: his “Succession” stablemates Kieran Culkin and Brian Cox. Brian Cox Dominic West Gary Oldman Kieran Culkin Pedro Pascal

BEST ACTRESS, DRAMA

Bella Ramsey, “The Last of Us.” Ramsey humanized dystopian terror, creating a character at turns compassionate, f ierce, loyal, funny and sensitive. And that gallows sense of humor helps. Emma Stone Helen Mirren Imelda Staunton Keri Russell Sarah Snook

BEST ACTRESS, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Natasha Lyonne, “Poker Face.” She lit up the screen as Charlie Cale, whose flaky sense of humor and (literal) built-in b.s. detector drives this hardcharging dramedy. Can’t wait for Season 2. Ayo Edebiri Elle Fanning Quinta Brunson Rachel Brosnahan Selena Gomez

BEST ACTOR, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Jeremy Allen White, “The Bear.” Season 1 was terrif ic, Season 2 not so much — but there’s no doubting that White’s intensity and nuance as Carmy is one of the best character turns on TV. Martin Short Steve Martin Bill Hader Jason Segel Jason Sudeikis
