The Hollywood Reporter launched THR Live on Wednesday with an Emmy-focused conversation led by Scott Feinberg, executive editor, awards, and Brande Victorian, deputy awards editor.
The YouTube livestream broke down the latest Emmy predictions, awards buzz and potential voter favorites amid Emmy voting June 11-22, while also giving viewers the chance to ask their most pressing questions via Instagram and a live chat box.
In discussing the race overall, Feinberg pointed to a recent trend that’s likely to play out in the drama, comedy and limited categories.
“What has been happening in the last four years is that three or four shows get nominated and take up half of the categories,” he explained. “I think The Pitt is going to get a zillion supporting actor and actress nominations. You’re also going to see this with Love Story in the limited categories.”
Speaking to the latter, Victorian called out the clear frontrunners in the limited or anthology series race, stating, “I think it’s going to be Love Story, Beef, The Beast in Me [and] All Her Fault.” Calling out the positive response to HBO’s DTF St. Louis as well, she noted, “The fifth spot is definitely where something could come in, like Half Man, and even Lord of the Flies, which was really well received.”
