Variety Awards Circuit: Emmy

• Ike Barinholtz (‘The Studio’)

  

  Barinholtz has built in silence one of the most versatile curriculum of comedy; This year, it has become complete. With Apple TV+”The Studio” satire, channel with unexpected zingers and an underlying resonance that stands out. It is an evolution of a respected industry figure that could reflect the part of Tony Shalhoub’s Emmy-Dramatic’s trajectory of “The Wonderful Mrs. Maisel”, even more similar to Tony Hale’s victory in 2013. He also receives an additional impulse to cook the “execution point” of Netflix with Kate Hudson.

• Adam Brody (‘Nobody wants this’)

  

  After winning the Critics Choice award for his turn like Noah Roklov, a rabbi who begins an unexpected relationship with an agnostic podcast (Kristen Bell), the always lovely Adam Brody seems to be ready to get his first great name of television acting for the Netflix Romedia program. Many actors in the millennium generation have returned to roots in their second acts in Hollywood. Look at Kenan Thompson when he was double nominated for “Kenan” and “Saturday Night Live” in 2021. With the series it also refers to landing in other important races, Brody’s Nom is ensured more day, even if only there will probably be five available spaces.

• John Cena (‘The Bear’)

  

  Dinner has been a fighter, a “peacemaker” and a Nominated Emmy during the day as the host of “Are you smarter than a fifth grade student?” The role of dinner in season 3 of “The Bear” marks an impressive axis for the artist. Better known for its peculiarities and rhythms in roles of comedy and action, take advantage of its softer side with its guest arc in the successful FX series.

• Owen Cooper (‘Adolescence’)

  

  With only 15 years, Cooper offers an performance that could make Emmy’s history. In the British “adolescence” drama, he plays a teenager with problems with impressive vulnerability. Comparisons with the quiet intensity of Paul Mescal in “normal people” are not unjustified. He is the favorite in the career of the support actor (limited), and could become the youngest candidate in the category. His equally affected co -star Ashley Walter and Christine Tremarco will surely illuminate the support tickets with him.

• Rhenzy Happy (‘The Penguin’)

  

  Happy makes its way with a magnetic representation of a young criminal who navigates through Gotham’s power dynamics in “The Penguin” of HBO Max. His performance, full of nuances, evokes Emmy nominated turns like Michael command in “Better Call Call Saul” and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in “Watchmen”. If it is nominated, happy would become the eighth Latin actor never recognized in the category of support drama actor, which in particular has not yet produced a winner. It would also be only the second Dominican actor nominated in any category of performance by Emmy, after the historic victory of Jharrel Jerome 2019 for the main actor (Limited) for “when they see us.” His possible assent would arrive in the same year in Zoe Saldaña became the first Dominican to win an academy prize for his performance in “Emilia Pérez”.

• Harrison Ford (‘shrunk’)

  

  An interim legend without a single Emmy nomination? It’s true. Ford’s turn such as Dr. Paul Rhoades, a grief and abrupt therapist, combines dry humor with emotional vulnerability. After a last first season and a solid race in the “1923” of Paramount, Ford seems late for Emmy’s recognition, perhaps in the same line as Alan Arkin’s settlement for “Kominsky’s method” or when Henry Winkler finally won a backward Emmy for the first season of “Barry.” Ford’s name could also bring his co -star and critics winner Choice Michael Urie.

• Cooper Koch (‘Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menéndez Story’)

  

  Koch offers a disturbing performance like Erik Menéndez in Netflix’s dramatization by producer Ryan Murphy. Its representation balances the underlying and emotional restriction with a deep psychological complexity, echoing the moment of the rupture seen in the nominated for Emmy of Evan Peters in “Dahmer-Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”. With the renewed public interest in the Menéndez case, Koch’s taking could lead him directly in the main actor’s career (limited). This story cannot exist without the other brother, which Nicholas Alexander Chavez interprets exquisitely. Depending on how the category is stirred, with only five available spaces, it may be difficult to see both cut.

• Katherine Lanasa (‘The Pitt’)

  

  Wool orders the screen as the main nurse of a sandy emergency room of Pittsburgh in the intense medical drama “The Pitt”. With a presence that is a deeply human meaning and part, remember that the Emmy outbreak wins by actresses such as Archie Panjabi in “The Good Wife” and Anna Gunn in “Breaking Bad”. His assent would mark a milestone that defines the race. The same could be said of any of his colleagues, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell and Shabana Azeez, who also presented.

• Britt Lower (‘Valuation’)

  

  Despite the series that won 14 nominations in 2022, Lower’s mysterious and excited performance was overlooked. In season 2, she returns more precision and emotional weight. His arc feels inside the range to obtain recognition for a long time, perhaps similar to the eventual support of Rhea Seehorn for the last two seasons of “Better Call Saul” after years of fans and critical campaigns. A main drama actress, assent seems to be almost certain. Let us not forget that his co -star Zach Cherry as the wise Dylan and Tramell Tillman as the Human Milchik compete for supporting the consideration of the drama actor, and they are likely to come for the trip for the series.

• Isabela Merced (‘The last of us’)

  

  Merced enters season 2 of the apocalyptic drama with a quiet but fierce performance as a new survivor. She follows the steps of the 2023 nomination of Bella Ramsey (she was among the youngest nominated in the main drama actress) and could become the fourth Latin actress nominated in the category of support actress of support, joining Aubrey Plaza (“The White Lotus”), Morena Baccarin (“Homeland”) and Alexis Bledel (“The Handmaid ‘ Tale “). In addition, Merced, 23, would be among the 10 best nominees with people like Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”).

• Sam Nivola (‘The White Lotus’)

  

  Emmy Powerhouse of Mike White launched the awards races of several actors and newcomers of prominent characters, from the winners Murray Bartlett to Jennifer Coolidge and the nominees Will and Natasha Rothwell. Now, Sam Nivola, 21, adds a new energy and depth to the whole and is ready to sneak into the race with his memorable turn when the young Locklan, a high school student who stays in the Thailand Resort. If the son of the actors of great character Alessandro Nivola and Emily Mortimer make the cut, it would be the second youngest to be nominated in the category, surpassing Noah Wyle, who was nominated for “ER” in 1995, and only more surpassed by Johnny Crawford, 13, by “The Rifleman” in 1959.

• Hilary Swank (‘Yellowjackets’)

  

  The two -time Oscar Hilary Swank winner (“Boys Don’t Cry” and “Million Dollar Baby”) immerses himself in the twisted psychological depths of “Yellowjackets” in a guest arc that is chilling and brain. Swank made his first appearance in the episode of March 28, the eighth installment of the third season of the program, in an amazing turn that finally revealed Melissa’s speculated destination. In the episode, the adult Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) discovers that Melissa is not only alive, but lives under a new identity with a family that does not realize her traumatic past. His entrance to the career as a guest drama actress would follow a path of film stars that crosses on prestigious television. See Marcia Gay Harden in “The Morning Show” or Patricia Arquette in “The Act”.
