At 73 years old, Jeff Bridges is a beloved legend in the industry. His portrayal of a retiree with a mysterious past on the freshman FX show has earned him rave reviews and his second Emmy nomination, 13 years after his first nomination for a TV movie. However, the show itself has only received one other nomination for cinematography, which may not bode well for Bridges’ chances of winning.
Kieran Culkin has been nominated twice before in the supporting category for his role as Roman on “Succession.” This season, he received his best reviews yet, particularly for an episode in which he delivers a moving eulogy for his father. However, there is some uncertainty as to whether people see him as a top contender for the award.
Pedro Pascal has had a breakthrough year with his rookie show, “The Last of Us,” which received an impressive 24 nominations, including nine for acting. This is his first acting nomination, and it coincides with nominations for his hosting of “SNL” and narration of a CNN nature show. If voters are split between the “Succession” actors, Pascal may have a chance to come out as the winner.
Brian Cox’s HBO show, “Succession,” had a must-watch final season that resulted in a staggering 27 nominations, more than any other show. However, Cox himself only appeared in three out of the 10 episodes of the season, potentially making him eligible for a guest actor nomination instead. Despite being nominated twice before for his portrayal of Logan Roy, Cox has yet to win. The question remains whether he can secure a win for his brief but powerful performance.

Bob Odenkirk has been nominated for all six seasons of his AMC series, “Better Call Saul.” The final season, which aired between April and July 2022, is up for seven awards, including Best Drama. However, neither the show nor any of its cast members have won an Emmy yet. Odenkirk’s swan song performance may have the potential to finally secure him a win, much like Jon Hamm’s win for “Mad Men” in its final season.
Jeremy Strong won this award for his portrayal of Kendall Roy on “Succession’s” second season and was nominated again for its third season. In the role of the haunted Kendall, Strong brings complexity to the character, making him a strong contender. However, he faces tough competition from his two co-stars, Kieran Culkin and Brian Cox, which may affect his chances of taking home the Emmy once again.
In conclusion, these six actors have all delivered outstanding performances on their respective shows and have rightfully earned their Emmy nominations. As the awards season approaches, it remains to be seen who will come out on top and take home the coveted prize.
