The State of the Race
The previous few years have seen the Emmy class for Excellent Supporting Actor in a Comedy Collection develop into fairly myopic. At one level 4 out of eight of the nomination slots have been taken by “Ted Lasso” stars, with Brett Goldstein being the winner that yr, and the next. Within the case of that Apple TV+ sequence although, it was arduous to protest due to how the present made such an effort to highlight sure recurring solid members in season-long arcs annually.
And that’s finally one thing that’s arduous to do when a season solely has 10 episodes, however reigning Comedy classes champ “The Bear” did a good higher job of that in its second season. Given how the episodes have been launched proper as Emmy nominations voting commenced, one might argue Ebon Moss-Bacharach’s efficiency in “The Bear” Season 2, Taylor Swift singalong and all, is what actually secured him the Emmy. Equally, Lionel Boyce, who was extra of a background character the primary season, acquired to be entrance and middle within the second most lauded episode of “The Bear” Season 2, set in Denmark and directed by Emmy nominee Ramy Youssef.
There’s the speculation that voters will love a present a lot that they click on the field to appoint each star on the poll, so the concept that “The Bear” star Oliver Platt and Matty Matheson additionally make it into the class is rising, however there are simply too many actors which have already been nominated for the precise efficiency they’re contending for to say for certain that “The Bear” completely dominates right here.
“Hacks” star Carl Clemons-Hopkins has made it in earlier than, why not co-star (and co-creator of the present) Paul W. Downs make it in too?

Like James Marsden’s distinctive position on shock comedy hit “Jury Obligation” final yr, the novelty of Paul Rudd on “Solely Murders within the Constructing” most likely makes it too troublesome for voters to miss, however there’s nonetheless a little bit of room for newcomers that really feel like the guts of their present, whether or not it’s Daniel Ings on “The Gents” and even J.B. Smoove on the ultimate season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
