2025 Emmy predictions: best comedy actor
Seth Rogen is the only comedy lead actor to appear on all of the BuzzMeter panel's ballots. Yet he's in a fairly distant second place to reigning Screen Actors Guild Award winner Martin Short, whose partner in crime, Steve Martin, barely makes the bottom rung of the first-round ladder. The wait has been long for Short, who has 18 nominations but last won in 2014, as the host of an AFI Mel Brooks tribute special. Of Rogen, Glenn Whipp says his 'needy, insecure, driven and desperate' character's 'love for movies makes him sympathetic — or at least not completely insufferable.' While Matt Roush bills the race as 'between the guy who made you laugh (Martin Short) and the one who made you cringe (Jeremy Allen White).' Lorraine Ali, meanwhile, trumpets Mo Amer: He 'may not be the most recognizable name in this category, but the second season of his Netflix comedy 'Mo' found humor in the Palestinian diaspora, and for that daring feat he should be honored.' Kristen Baldwin roots for 'underdogs' David Alan Grier ('dry perfection' on 'St. Denis Medical') and Vince Vaughn ('Bad Monkey'); Tracy Brown hopes 'there is room to recognize Nathan Lane' for 'Mid-Century Modern.' Meanwhile, Trey Mangum says, 'If Delroy Lindo doesn't get nominated on the film front for 'Sinners,' we need to make sure that he leaves this year with something' — a nom for the final season of 'Unprisoned' being a sufficient substitute. More predictions: Comedy actress | Comedy series 1. Martin Short, 'Only Murders in the Building'2. Seth Rogen, 'The Studio'3. Jeremy Allen White, 'The Bear'4. (tie) Adam Brody, 'Nobody Wants This'4. (tie) Ted Danson, 'A Man on the Inside'6. Mo Amer, 'Mo'7. Matt Berry, 'What We Do in the Shadows'8. Alan Tudyk, 'Resident Alien'9. (tie) Nathan Lane, 'Mid-Century Modern'9. (tie) Delroy Lindo, 'Unprisoned '9. (tie) Jason Segel, 'Shrinking'
