‘Awards Magnet': Our updated Emmy predictions — for the last time together
With just one week left to go in the 2024-25 Emmy cycle, Awards Magnet hosts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here with another round of predictions — for the final time together.
Sadly, this is Chris' last episode of Awards Magnet — an end of an era! — but he's going out with a bang with a new set of predictions. He's back on The Four Seasons train, but has forsaken one of his favorites from Hacks despite this week's major episode. This week also marked the end of the first season of The Studio and saw the release of The Bear Season 4 trailer. Season 4 is eligible next year, of course, but hope springs eternal for those who feel a good fourth season will boost Season 3's Emmy chances.

On the drama front, The Last of Us wraps up its second season on Sunday. If you know the game, you can kind of figure out how the season will conclude. The show is in third place in the Best Drama Series odds, behind Severance and The Pitt, but it has more in common with the latter than the former in many ways. Meanwhile, after a terrific flashback episode last week, Pedro Pascal feels right back in the hunt. While his category placement is still TBD, he has fallen to fourth place in the Best Drama Actor odds since his character Joel was killed in the second episode.

Jason Sudeikis remembers 'incredible influence' of uncle George Wendt: 'An amazing guy'
Jason Sudeikis remembers 'incredible influence' of uncle George Wendt: 'An amazing guy' Show Caption Hide Caption 'Cheers' actor George Wendt dies at 76 George Wendt earned six consecutive best supporting actor Emmy nominations playing Norm Peterson on NBC's "Cheers." To the world, George Wendt will always be Norm. But for Jason Sudeikis, he was just Uncle George. Less than two weeks after the beloved "Cheers" star's death, Sudeikis opened up about the impact of his late uncle during an appearance at Big Slick Celebrity Weekend, an annual fundraising event for Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 30. Wendt died "peacefully in his sleep" on May 20 at the age of 76. "He was an amazing guy," Sudeikis, 49, said. "With regard to my Uncle George, I mean, there's that old saying of, 'Don't meet your heroes,' usually because 'they let you down,' I assume, is the back half of that statement. But he's not one of those people." 'A well-loved friend': George Wendt, beloved bar regular Norm on 'Cheers,' dies at 76 Wendt was best known for his portrayal of the beer-quaffing barfly Norm Peterson on the classic NBC sitcom, and Sudeikis reflected that the actor's everyman charm wasn't limited to the TV screen. "He's as fun and kind and as warm as any character he played on television or in films," the Kansas-bred actor said. "He was an incredible influence to me, both as someone that blazed the trail being from the Midwest and teaching me that acting was a career you could actually have, if you really care about it." George Wendt remembered: 'Cheers' stars Ted Danson, John Ratzenberger and Rhea Perlman pay tribute Aside from Wendt's commitment to the craft, Sudeikis added that the Illinois-born actor's humility was just as much of an inspiration. "He also always kept connected to his family, to his roots, both in Chicago, of course, where he's from, but then also the time he spent here," said Sudeikis, referring to Kansas City, where Wendt attended college. "We miss him greatly, and I love him dearly." Contributing: Bryan Alexander and KiMi Robinson, USA TODAY
