Brian Cox, “Succession”

Jeremy Strong, “Succession” Lee Jung-jae, “Squid Game” Bob Odenkirk, “Better Call Saul” Jason Bateman, “Ozark” Sterling K. Brown, “This Is Us”

Last time the two stars of “Succession” — Cox and Strong — faced off, Strong bested his elder, something his character, Kendall, could only dream of doing. Voters might be inclined to spread the love this year, but Strong really owned the season. I wouldn’t bet against him.
