LEE JUNG-JAE

DRAMA LEAD ACTOR / ‘SQUID GAME’

NI NE POINTS in our panel’ s ranked voting separate the top four leading men, with SAG and Spirit awards winner Lee Jungjae, above, ahead of previous winner Jeremy Strong (“Succession”) and perennial nominees Bob Odenkirk (“Better Call Saul”) and Brian Cox (“Succession”). Panelist Glenn Whipp likes Strong’s chances: “Last time the two stars of ‘Succession’ faced off, Strong bested his elder, something his character, Kendall, could only dream of doing to Cox’s Logan on the show.” Matt Roush thinks Lee “could upset the Emmy cart ... but the competition is stiff, including Bob Odenkirk’s way overdue recognition as Saul Goodman — if not now, when?” You can find all our picks at latimes.com/buzzmeter, where you can vote in our polls.
