Weekly Commentary: It’s still unclear where the men of HBO’s “Succession” will be campaigning, so we’re operating off of educated guesses, assuming Kieran Culkin makes his leap to acting and Brian Cox follows the path of guest dramatic actor. Cox has a choice of dealer assuming he is not seen in other episodes.
With that likelihood, a wider open race emerges with three remaining actors from Jesse Armstrong’s drama series vying for attention – last year’s winner Matthew Macfadyen, twice-nominated Nicholas Braun and still-no Alan Ruck. recognized.
Based on the outlook for the season so far, Alexander Skarsgård might be eligible for this race for the first time, as he’s appeared in numerous episodes of “Succession.” Interestingly, his father Stellan Skarsgård of “Andor” could be among the eight names called on the morning of the nomination, which could be one of the first times (if not the first) that a father and son have been recognized side by side. coast in an Emmy acting run. .
There are also several people from “The White Lotus”, including F. Murray Abraham and Theo James, who could take the lead position depending on category decisions.
Veteran Hollywood actors like John Lithgow of “The Old Man” and Jonathan Pryce of “The Crown” could also make their way into the field, given that name recognition helps voters.
We still don’t know how the TV Academy will respond to “Better Call Saul” for its final season and whether they’ll tick off both Jonathan Banks and Giancarlo Esposito, which they already did. Pat Healy is also eligible as a supporting actor this time around.
