Emmys 2020: Lead Actor in a Drama Series — Our 7 Dream Nominees!
Billy Porter triumphed in this category in 2019 and there is every reason to believe the Pose star will be back in the running this year. One thing we are absolutely certain of: Porter’s exemplary work in the FX drama’s second season certainly makes him a worthy Emmy contender, as evidenced by his inclusion in our Lead Actor in a Drama Series wish list.
His biggest competition this time around could come from a pair of equally deserving Succession stars, particularly in light of the HBO drama’s explosive popularity growth in Season 2.
