Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 28, at 11:30 a.m. in Chile, the Television Academy that delivers the Premios Emmys will announce the nominees for this 2020 awards, a ceremony to be held on September 20.
The academy expanded the number of nominees to eight in the most important categories, best drama and comedy series; and conditioned the number of nominees in other categories to the number of productions introduced “for consideration”.
But, Who run as favorites? Agence France-Presse spoke to Joyce Eng, editor of the prediction site Gold Derby, who noted that, once again, HBO y Netflix They should be the chains with the highest number of nominations.
Without last year’s winners in competition, Game of Thrones and Fleabag, and without any show new to bring surprises, Eng estimated that programs like Succession, about a powerful family that owns the media fighting for control of their company; and the criminal thriller Ozark they start as Favorites in the drama category.
The Crown, Netflix’s flagship; and the dystopian drama of Hulu The Handmaid’s Tale -who did not participate in the awards last year- must also enter the nominees, along with Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad; and The Morning Show, from the Apple TV + platform.
On the comedy side, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the Amazon story of a 1950s housewife turned comedian stand-up, is considered a favorite along with Canadian success Schitt’s Creek.
Big Little Lies look for the Emmy for best drama after winning in 2017 as best miniseries, a category in which he starts as a favorite Watchmen, about masked vigilantes treated as criminals by government agencies.
“Watchmen it’s a great series by itself but it has become even more resonant in the last few weeks, ”Eng said, referring to protests in several cities in the United States against the presence of federal police in their cities.
It is very likely that the category of best actress drama It will be led by Oscar winner Olivia Colman along with Laura Linney (Ozark), Jennifer Aniston (The Morning Show) y Elizabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale).
For its part, it is possible that best Actor drama co-lead Brian Cox for her role in Succession, along with Jason Bateman for Ozark and Bob Odenkirk for Better Call Saul.
