Forecasting the winners of the Emmy Awards can be an exciting, yet challenging task. The executive editor of awards coverage at The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Feinberg, has assembled his projections for the upcoming ceremony. It is important to note that these forecasts are not personal preferences but rather an attempt to predict the behavior of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences based on consultations with voters and strategists, analysis of marketing and campaigns, previous awards results, and the history of the Emmys itself.
In the Best Drama Series category, Feinberg predicts that HBO/Max’s “Succession” will take the top spot, followed by “The White Lotus” and “The Last of Us.” Other contenders include “Better Call Saul,” “House of the Dragon,” “Andor,” “The Crown,” and “Yellowjackets.”
For Best Comedy Series, Feinberg forecasts that FX’s “The Bear” will be the frontrunner, with Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” and ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” also in contention. “Barry,” “Jury Duty,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and “Wednesday” round out the list.
In the Best Limited or Anthology Series category, Feinberg predicts that Netflix’s “Beef” will lead the pack, followed by “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” “Daisy Jones & the Six,” “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

Feinberg also provides projections for other categories, including Best TV Movie, Best Variety Talk Series, Best Scripted Variety Series, Best Variety Special (Live), Best Variety Special (Pre-Recorded), Best Documentary or Nonfiction Series, Best Documentary or Nonfiction Special, Best Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special, Best Structured Reality Program, Best Unstructured Reality Program, Best Reality Competition Program, Best Game Show, and acting categories in different genres.
It is worth noting that these projections are speculative and can change as the awards season progresses. Factors such as campaigning, critical reception, and industry buzz can influence the final results. The Emmy Awards, one of the most prestigious ceremonies in the television industry, celebrate excellence in various genres and honor the year’s best television shows and performances.
By analyzing past trends, considering industry opinions, and drawing upon his expertise, Scott Feinberg offers insights into what shows and individuals might have the best chances of winning in their respective categories. However, nothing is set in stone until the actual Emmy Awards ceremony takes place, where the winners will be determined by the votes of the Academy members.
As the anticipation builds and the awards season unfolds, viewers and industry insiders alike will eagerly await the announcement of the official Emmy nominations and the subsequent ceremony to see if these projections align with the final outcomes.
