“Succession” and “Abbott Elementary” will rule over the Primetime Emmy nominations when they’re announced on Wednesday, July 12. That’s according to the combined predictions of thousands of Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. Scroll down to see our nomination predictions arranged by show; projected winners are in gold. And check out our predictions by category here.
SEEEmmy nomination predictions: Our official odds in top 25 categories
In the nominations round we’re only predicting program and performance categories — the Emmys also honor writing, directing, casting, and much, much more. But even still we’re betting on “Succession” to collect 15 bids including Best Drama Series, where it’s looking to win for the third time. The 14 acting nominations we’re forecasting matches the total the show received in 2022, which set a new record for the most acting noms for a series in a single year. “Succession” is favored to take five of those awards including the top prize and four out of six drama acting categories.
More from GoldDerby
“Abbott” is our top predicted comedy with seven likely nominations, and it too is expected to win four acting prizes. That alone would exceed the three awards the sitcom won overall in 2022, but “Ted Lasso” is still the front-runner to win Best Comedy Series, even though it’s not favored to win any of its five anticipated acting noms. Of course, since we’re only predicting program and acting awards for this round, those below-the-line races could make a big difference. How big? Last year “Lasso” received a total of 20 noms compared to “Abbott’s” seven. Whichever show racks up the most Creative Arts noms may determine if one of them will take top honors.
So don’t just pay attention to Wednesday’s marquee categories. TV’s best craftspeople may really show us which way the wind is blowing. See our predictions below, and make or update your predictions here while you still can.
