Who will win this year’s Emmys
Drama Series
“The Boys”
“Bridgerton”: Shonda Rhimes’ period drama on Netflix, set in 1813 London high society, was a talker, if only for the romance factor.

“The Handmaid’s Tale”
“The Mandalorian”
“This Is Us”
Comedy Series
“Black-ish”
“Cobra Kai”
“Emily in Paris”
“Hacks”
“PEN15”
“Ted Lasso”: I can’t think of one weak link in the “Ted Lasso” chain of gentle comedy, optimism, feel-good spirit and winning performances.
“The Flight Attendant”
“The Kominsky Method”
Lead Actor, Drama
Sterling K. Brown, “This Is Us”: It will be Brown — if only for the fact he’s won before (in 2017) and “This Is Us” is in its final weepy season.
Jonathan Majors, “Lovecraft Country”

Regé-Jean Page, “Bridgerton”
Billy Porter, “Pose”
Matthew Rhys, “Perry Mason”
Lead Actress, Drama
Uzo Aduba, “In Treatment”
Olivia Colman, “The Crown”

Supporting Actor, Drama

Max Minghella, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
Chris Sullivan, “This Is Us”
Bradley Whitford, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
Michael K. Williams, “Lovecraft Country”: Emmy votes were cast before Williams’ untimely death; this is not a posthumous salute, but the industry’s recognition of his talent.
Supporting Actress, Drama
Gillian Anderson, “The Crown”
Helena Bonham Carter, “The Crown”
Ann Dowd, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
Madeline Brewer, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
Aunjanue Ellis, ”Lovecraft Country”: The four “Handmaid’s Tale” nominees will cancel each other out . . . and Anderson’s cartoonish, desiccated Margaret Thatcher sounded like she was constipated, so forget her.

Yvonne Strahovski, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
Samira Wiley, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
Lead Actor, Comedy
Anthony Anderson, “Black-ish”
Michael Douglas, “The Kominsky Method”

Lead Actress, Comedy
Aidy Bryant, “Shrill”
Kaley Cuoco, “The Flight Attendant”
Tracee Ellis Ross, “Black-ish”

Carl Clemons-Hopkins, “Hacks”
Brett Goldstein, “Ted Lasso”: Or maybe Hunt, Mohammed or Swift. They all deserve it

Bowen Yang, “SNL”
