The 2023 Emmy season may have just ended, but the excitement for the 2024 nominations is already building. Vanity Fair’s Little Gold Men podcast delves into the predictions for the major categories, identifying potential contenders and analyzing their chances.
In the drama category, ‘Shogun’ emerges as a strong contender, particularly in the absence of a reigning champion like ‘Succession’. The podcast highlights the show’s ability to capture the zeitgeist while showcasing artistic excellence, a rare feat in today’s television landscape. Another contender, ‘Fallout’, could also make a strong showing, adding an element of surprise to the race.
The comedy category appears to be a tight race between ‘The Bear’ and ‘Hacks’. However, the podcast raises concerns about ‘The Bear’s’ third season reception and its potential impact on the show’s Emmy prospects.
In the limited series category, Netflix’s breakout ‘Baby Reindeer’ is poised to lead the pack, garnering significant attention and praise.
Beyond the Emmy predictions, the podcast analyzes the potential Oscar prospects of upcoming releases. A24’s ‘Sing Sing’ is touted as a potential frontrunner for the prestigious award. The podcast also discusses the significance of festival selections, highlighting the selection of ‘Beetlejuice’ and ‘Blitz’ for Venice and London film festivals, respectively, as indicators of their Oscar potential.
