2022 Emmy Pred: Supporting Actor & Actress Drama

supp. actor
Jonathan Banks - Better Call Saul
Billy Crudup - Morning Show
Kieran Culkin - Succession
Giancarlo Esposito - Better Call Saul
David Harbour - Stranger Things
Matthew Macfayden - Succession
Oh Young-soo - Squid Game
John Turturro - Severance

Curious to see if they're going to give another obligatory nod to Braun. Ehhh they probably will but I'm going with Harbour because Hopper's S4 writing is such a massive improvement over S3 and a return to the grounded brooding/emotional stuff that got him an Emmy nod for S2. Dane is tough to call because he gots one episode to really show off but is barely present for most of Euphoria's second season. It's frustrating how underutilized he is and I wonder if that keeps him out of the race. Park Hae-soo would be such a cool choice. Have no idea why Oh is the favorite when Park is doing so much more heavylifting and has a more central role but that looks to be how the cookie's crumbling.

supp. actress
Patricia Arquette - Severance
Julia Garner - Ozark
Jung Ho-yeon - Squid Game
Christina Ricci - Yellowjackets
Rhea Seehorn - Better Call Saul
Fiona Shaw - Killing Eve
Sadie Sink - Stranger Things
Sarah Snook - Succession

this race is all over the place. J. Smith-Cameron is probably getting a coattail nod but I'm leaving her off just because she's not really memorable... Gerri consistently fades into the background for me. I'm banking on Shaw getting a third nomination for Killing Eve despite the divisiveness because she was really great in S4, probably better than she's ever been. Ricci feels like a textbook Emmy nominee and her Yellowjackets role encapsulates everything people have enjoyed about her acting since the 90s. She's overdue as hell. Julianna Margulies definitely feels possible. Still not 100% confident about Sink. I could see MBB getting in instead, or hell maybe both of them just because S4 is so culturally dominant right now. Or maybe Sweeney gets in for Euphoria instead. However it turns out there are definitely going to be snubs & surprises in this category.
