2025 Emmys Predictions: Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie
We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. Can only one episode win a performer an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie? That's one of the main questions for the category this year, and one could argue both sides. With only four episodes, 'Adolescence' is running the Limited Series conversation much in the same way fellow British Netflix series 'Baby Reindeer' did last year. More from IndieWire JD Vance's 'SNL' Body Double Bowen Yang Calls Him a 'Pope Killer': 'Somebody Had to Say It' Tony Gilroy Unpacks That First 'Andor' Season 2 'Crescendo' and 'Lighting the Fuse' for What's to Come But while the star of that series, Jessica Gunning, had a whole lot of runway to show off her talents, the actress that got the best showcase in 'Adolescence,' Erin Doherty, only shows up for a quarter of the series. While seeing her opposite newcomer Owen Cooper in a tour de force performance has been a breakout moment for 'The Crown' alum, the landscape for this category is still filled with some laudable performances that may be too hard to ignore. For instance, 'Dying for Sex' star Jenny Slate is in a similar position, where her co-star Michelle Williams is one of the frontrunners for the Lead Actress in a Limited Series category, and by being her primary scene partner, voters will likely view what has been Slate's biggest and best role in years (she has mostly worked in animation and character actress roles since 2017.) There are also full ensembles offering more than one Supporting Actress contender, many of which are fellow Netflix shows. Arguably the strongest would be 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' which features Chloe Sevigny and Ari Graynor opposite performances by Javier Bardem, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, and Cooper Koch, who are expected to also receive Emmy nominations. Season 1 of the Netflix anthology series, which was focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, also earned star Niecy Nash-Betts an Emmy in this category. 'Zero Day' did not reach the level of critical or commercial success that Netflix may have expected, given its starry cast, but to hear that neither Joan Allen nor Angela Bassett has won a Primetime Emmy for one of their performances (the latter just has one for narration,) may add some momentum to their campaigns. And Netflix has been tight-lipped about 'Sirens,' but the series from the creator of 'Maid' should offer another contender in this category once it premieres in May. But to go back even earlier on the calendar, not only are Lesley Manville and Leila George impressive supporting players in the Apple TV+ series 'Disclaimer,' the show also got a fall festival run akin to what Oscar contenders receive. Should that literary adaptation from Alfonso Cuarón catch a second wind, there should be room in this category for them as well. Same goes for the other streamers, whether it is Hulu touting Imogen Faith Reid in 'Good American Family,' which is an incredibly difficult first role to pull off, or the upcoming 'The Better Sister' starring Elizabeth Banks on Amazon Prime Video. And 'The Penguin' was a huge success for HBO, with plenty members of the supporting cast to latch onto. That said, there are likely less submissions overall for the Limited Series categories this year, meaning less room for worthy performances to make the cut.

2025 Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Scripted Variety Series
We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' and 'Saturday Night Live' will be this year's Outstanding Scripted Variety Series nominees. Let's just get that out of the way. More from IndieWire The 29 Ballets of 'Étoile': How They Restaged Classic Productions and Created Tobias Bell's Originals Diego Luna Tells Us Why 'Something Has To Be on the Line' in 'Andor' Season 2 What's frustrating is it's not that those two shows aren't deserving of recognition — it's that the Television Academy changed the voting rules to guarantee those two shows will be the only two recognized as long as this category exists. The Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category itself was started two years ago transparently as a way to move the incredibly dominant 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' from contention against more traditional late-night talk shows. At that point, the category had enough submissions to use one of the standard formulas the Academy uses to determine how many nominees are in any given category. Then, last year, the submissions for the category dropped below eight, meaning nominations would be determined by a jury of appropriate peers, with each submission needing 90% approval to be nominated. Since there was no cap on how many nominations there could be in the category with that iteration of the Emmy rules, it left scripted variety show fans excited that at least one newer entrant could break in, and compete with the long-running, highly decorated pair of annual nominees. Looking at 'A Black Lady Sketch Show,' the last series to be nominated against 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' and 'Saturday Night Live,' that exposure led to the HBO sketch series receiving nominations in multiple categories over the years. It even won four. Anyways, after Emmys campaigning was already up and running, the TV Academy changed its rule for categories with under eight submissions to lower the approval rating to 70 percent of peers, then capping the number of nominees to two. No other shows stood any chance against two series that have become institutions, and that sucks if you like scripted variety series and want to see more of them on TV. Emmy nominations had kept cult series like 'Drunk History' and 'Portlandia' alive, allowing them to grow and develop a fan base. Meanwhile, CBS' Taylor Tomlinson-hosted 'After Midnight,' the other show that would have likely been nominated if the TV Academy didn't stop nominations at two, is already set to end once this season is over. With all that said, kudos to HBO for still greenlighting shows like 'Fantasmas' and 'It's Florida, Man,' keeping alive the kind of idiosyncratic comedy that inspires people to want to be comedic performers. If there was no cap on nominees in this category, 'Fantasmas' in particular would be a shoo-in based on the acclaim it received from the Gotham Awards and Independent Spirit Awards. Hopefully, voters at least sample that show, and others, even if it's inevitable that only two shows will be nominated for this category.

2025 Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Talk Series
We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. Spoilers for those who have not watched 'Hacks' and plan to, but one of the most prescient moments on the latest season of the Max comedy was when Helen Hunt's network boss revealed to Jean Smart's Deborah Vance that her new job as a late night host was a last ditch attempt to not cancel their late night talk series programming altogether. More from IndieWire Craig Mazin Says We 'Overestimate' the 'Allegorical Connections' Between TV Shows and Real News Nathan Fielder Confronts Paramount+ for Removing 'Nathan for You' Episode About Antisemitism on 'The Rehearsal' Talking about the Outstanding Talk Series category can be complicated because there are actually a lot of exciting developments within the talk series space. But the shows that land nominations are near immovable, and the winner for over two decades is almost always 'The Daily Show' — especially with host Jon Stewart at the helm, even for just one day a week. With that in mind, we can start with what the other nominees would be. Last year, the other series nominated alongside 'The Daily Show' were 'Late Night with Seth Meyers,' 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' and 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' But the Emmys rules dictate that when a category has under 20 submissions (but over eight,) the number of nominees will be whatever number of submissions the category receives divided by four, and rounded to the nearest whole number. Right now, we know of 11 submissions, meaning the number of nomination slots would be three this year. Because of what it has been nominated for in the past, and its proximity to Jon Stewart's 'Daily Show,' one can assume 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' would get the other spot, meaning the last slot would be for Kimmel, Meyers, or a new show. 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' and 'Real Time with Bill Maher' have been nominated in a version of this category before, so they are plausible contenders. And though 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen' has never been nominated in this category, it has received a Primetime Emmy nomination before, with its network Bravo becoming a bigger awards player after the attention it received from the 'Vanderpump Rules' scandal a couple years ago. But even more than last year, where Netflix called an audible at the end of the Emmys eligibility window, and submitted his Netflix Is a Joke experiment, John Mulaney feels like the one to watch in this race for his new show 'Everybody's Live.' Mulaney already has several Primetime Emmys for his standup specials and work on 'Saturday Night Live,' and has been praised for finally figuring out a late night concept that works for streaming. If voters really want to dive into the innovative shows happening in this space, 'Hot Ones' would be another one to highlight, with this being the second year YouTube is submitting the beloved hot wing interview series into the Emmys race. Dropout, another primarily digital platform, has been looking for ways to enter the Emmys race as well, with the latest effort being the comedic interview series 'Very Important People,' where host Vic Michaels talks to guests in character, similar to 'The Colbert Report' or 'Ziwe.' Colbert actually won this category twice when he was playing a character on his Comedy Central, so there is a bit of hope that the Dropout series could break through if Television Academy members do give it a watch. Current Contenders (In Alphabetical Order):'The Daily Show' (Comedy Central)'Everybody's Live with John Mulaney' (Netflix)'Hart to Heart' (Peacock)'Hot Ones' (YouTube)'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' (ABC)'Late Night with Seth Meyers' (NBC)'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' (CBS)'Real Time with Bill Maher' (HBO)'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' (NBC)'Very Important People' (Dropout)'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen' (Bravo) More Category Predictions:Outstanding Animated ProgramOutstanding Scripted Variety SeriesOutstanding Documentary or Nonfiction SeriesOutstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special View IndieWire's full set of predictions for the 77th Emmy Year's Winner: 'The Daily Show'Still Eligible: Streak: 'The Daily Show' is on the hottest of hot streaks, having won twice since alumni John Oliver's show was moved to a different category.
