Best Series
ANGIE HAN I can’t imagine Hacks not finding a spot here, but my heart is with the inventive newcomers — shows like David E. Kelley’s bighearted Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Rebecca Cutter’s deliciously soapy The Hunting Wives, Katie Dippold’s genre-bending Widow’s Bay, Tim Robinson’s The Chair Company and, maybe most of all, Sterlin Harjo’s immaculately vibey The Lowdown.
Lead Actor
DANIEL FIENBERG No offense to the stars of Only Murders in the Building and other familiar names and past winners (Steve Carell, Jeremy Allen White, etc.), but this could be an extremely bland category. Voters can save it by honoring Ethan Hawke’s messy gumshoe charm from The Lowdown, Matthew Rhys’ impeccable blending of comedy and horror in Widow’s Bay and the heightened discomfort delivered by Tim Robinson in The Chair Company. Then maybe acknowledge Tracy Morgan in the perfectly tailored The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as an unlikely superhero/actor in Wonder Man and Seth Rogen, who is better in Platonic than the show he won for last year.
