The Superbowl of the TV Junkies is this Sunday, and what kind of tv junkie will I be if I don’t share my predictions for the Emmy Awards 2020.
It’s been a tough year for all of us and the television industry is no stranger to that. Seasons cut short, production shutdowns, unexpected cancellations have impacted film production all around the world. But the Emmy Awards are proof that we have amazing shows and performances.
It’s time to activate the Crystal Ball and predict who will win the awards. It Looks like it’s going to be Schitt’s Creek and Succession’s night. Keep reading
to see my predictions for the 2020 Primetime Emmys.
Who Will Win 💎 Nati’s Pick 📺
Outstanding Comedy Series
This category is between insecure and Schitt’s Creek, but keeping in mind that it’s the last time Schitt’s Creek is eligible for nominations it probably will win.
Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
Dead To Me (Netflix)
Insecure (Netflix)

The Good Place (NBC)
The Kominsky Method (Netflix)
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Prime Video)
What We Do In The Shadows (FX Networks)
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series
Ted Danson has been waiting for his whole career to win and if my predictions are correct he will need to keep waiting. That award is going to Eugene Levy.

Anthony Anderson – Black-ish
Ramy Youssef – Ramy
Eugene Levy – Schitt’s Creek 💎 📺
Ted Danson – The Good Place
Michael Douglas – The Kominsky Method

Christina Applegate – Dead To Me
Linda Cardellini – Dead To Me
Issa Rae – Insecure
Catherine O’Hara – Schitt’s Creek 💎 📺
Rachel Brosnahan – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

I predict Tony Shalhoub will win this year, there is a possibility that with all the attention Schitt’s Creek got this year Daniel Levy could win.
Andre Braugher – Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Mahershala Ali – Ramy
Kenan Thompson – Saturday Night Live
Daniel Levy – Schitt’s Creek 📺
William Jackson Harper – The Good Place
Alan Arkin – The Kominsky Method
Tony Shalhoub – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 💎

All of these women are very talented but I only can see Alex Borstein winning.

Yvonne Orji – Insecure
Kate McKinnon – Saturday Night Live

Annie Murphy – Schitt’s Creek
D’Arcy Caren – The Good Place
Alex Borstein – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 💎 📺
Marin Hinkle – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Outstanding Drama Series
I’m still mad that The Morning Show didn’t get a nomination, but besides that, this category is really difficult to predict. For me, The Crown or Stranger Things deserve the win but for sure Succession will be the winner.
Better Call Saul (AMC)
Killing Eve (BBC America)
Ozark (Netflix)
Stranger Things (Netflix)
Succession (HBO) 💎
The Crown (Netflix) 📺
The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu)
The Mandalorian (Disney +)
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Another category that is tough to predict. Steve Carell’s performance in The Morning Show is my favorite of all of them. Because I think Succession is going to win BIG I’m going to go with Jeremey Strong winning over Brian Cox. Split votes can prevent either of them winning in that case Steve Carell might have a shot.
Jason Bateman – Ozark
Bill Porter – Pose
Brian Cox – Succession
Jeremy Strong – Succession 💎
Steve Carell – The Morning Show 📺
Sterling K. Brown – This is Us
Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series
It’s great to see Zendaya nominated in this category but she will need to wait for another nomination to win. For sure Jennifer Aniston will take the award, her performance in The Morning Show was one of the best of her career.
Zendaya – Euphoria
Sandra Oh – Killing Eve
Jodie Comer – Killing Eve
Laura Linney – Ozark
Olivia Coleman – The Crown
Jennifer Aniston – The Morning Show 💎 📺
Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series
Bradley Whitford is going to win. His performance on The Handmaid’s Tale is one of the reasons I still watch that show.
Giancarlos Esposito – Better Call Saul
Kieran Culkin – Succession
Matthew Macfadyen – Succession
Nicholas Braun – Succession
Bradley Whitford – The Handmaid’s Tale 💎 📺
Mark Duplass – The Morning Show
Billy Crudup – The Morning Show
Jeffrey Wright – Westworld
Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series
All of these women deserve the nomination, but my gut is telling me Helena Bonham Carter is taking home the award, her performance as the rebel princess Margaret is perfection.
Meryl Streep – Big Little Lies
Laura Dern – Big Little Lies
Fiona Shaw – Killing Eve
Julie Garner – Ozark
Sarah Snook – Succession
Helena Bonham Carter – The Crown 💎 📺
Samira Wiley – The Handmaid’s Tale
Thandie Newton – Westworld
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Limited Series Or Movie
Hugh Jackman is one of the favorites to win this category. I’m going to go with Mark Ruffalo, in the end, is not that easy playing to twin brothers.
Hugh Jackman – Bad Education
Mark Ruffalo – I Know This Much Is True 💎 📺
Paul Mercal – Normal People
Jeremy Irons – Watchmen
Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Series Or Movie
Another tough category, Octavia Spencer, Cate Blanchett, and Kerry Washington delivered incredible performances, I will be happy with any of them winning. With all these in mind, my pick is Regina King, as the lead on one of the most critical acclaim series of 2020 is almost a sure bet she will take the award.
Kerry Washington – Little Fires Everywhere
Cate Blanchett – Mrs. America 📺
Octavia Spencer – Self Made
Shira Haas – Unorthodox
Regina King – Watchmen 💎
Outstanding Television Movie
Not much to think about on this one. Bad Education It Is!
American Son (Netflix)
Bad Education (HBO) 💎 📺
Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings: These Old Bones (Netflix)
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (Netflix)
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs The Reverend (Netflix)
Outstanding Limited Series
My heart is with Little Fire Everywhere, but the voters for sure will go with Watchmen.
Little Fires Everywhere (Hulu) 📺
Mrs. America (FX Networks)
Unbelievable (Netflix)
Unorthodox (Netflix)
Watchmen (HBO) 💎
Supporting Actress, Limited Series or Movie
Jean Smart’s performance was one of my favorite things from Watchmen. Hoping the votes think the same way.
Uzo Aduba, Mrs. America
Toni Collette, Unbelievable
Margo Martindale, Mrs. America
Jean Smart, Watchmen 💎 📺
Holland Taylor, Hollywood
Tracey Ullman, Mrs. America
Supporting Actor, Limited Series or Movie
I’m going to start this prediction saying that I’m might be biassed in this category. I’m a huge fan of Jim Parsons and he’s going to be my pick. But the reality is that Louis Gosset Jr. or Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will win this category.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II – Watchmen 💎
Jovan Adepo – Watchmen
Tituss Burgess – Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy Vs.
the Reverend
Louis Gossett, Jr. – Watchmen
