Currently at Gold Derby, seven of our 10 Experts from major media outlets predict that Season 2 of “The Bear” will sweep the comedy races at the 2024 Golden Globes. These savvy prognosticators have it cooking up wins for Best Comedy Series, Jeremy Allen White as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto for Best Comedy Actor and Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu for Best Comedy Actress. If they’re right, that would put “The Bear” on the same exotic menu as “30 Rock” (with leads Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin) and “Roseanne” (with leads Roseanne Barr and John Goodman), both of which claimed the comedy trifecta in 2009 and 1993, respectively.
The seven Experts predicting the FX show to sweep the top three comedy races are: Christopher Rosen (Gold Derby), Eric Deggans (NPR), Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Nikki Novak (Fandango), Peter Travers (ABC), Ray Richmond (Gold Derby) and Wilson Morales (BlackFilmandTV). Season 2 continued the story of Carmy and...

Will the Golden Globes go all in on Barbenheimer? Will three shows dominate the TV categories? Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to make their winner predictions for Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards.
“Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” earned nine and eight Golden Globe nominations, respectively, and they could both very well wall walk away with four wins each, per the odds, including the top film categories, which would be fitting for the two movies that defined 2023. But where are they most vulnerable? Could “Poor Things” surprise in Best Comedy/Musical Film? And how close is Best Drama Actor between Cillian Murphy and presumptive favorite Bradley Cooper (“Maestro”)?

It’s 2024, but it’s still 2023 when it comes to the Primetime Emmy Awards. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to make their winner picks for the Creative Arts Emmys.
After a three-month delay due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, the Emmys are finally upon us. The Creative Arts ceremonies will take place on Saturday, Jan. 6 (scripted fare) and Sunday, Jan. 7 (unscripted fare), the latter being the same day as the Golden Globes, of course. Voting took place in August, so nothing that’s happened in the last three months will impact the results, like, say, Mayim Bialik, the odds-on favorite to win Best Game Show Host, departing “Jeopardy!” last month.

If Julianne Moore were still Oscar-less, would she win now for “May December”? Which Christmas movies deserve Oscars? Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to answer your burning questions in an end-of-year mailbag episode.
We love a sliding doors prompt and none are better than when you taketh or giveth Oscars. Moore finally took home the gold when she won Best Actress for “Still Alice” (2014), but had that not happened, would she be the current Best Supporting Actress frontrunner with an even great overdue narrative than what she had back then? She’d arguably at least give “The Holdovers'” Da’Vine Joy Randolph a run for her money with critics prizes. And if Emma Stone hadn’t prevailed for “La La Land” (2016), how much more steam would she have now for “Poor Things”?

Welcome to Oscar Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Oscar race — via Slack, of course. This week, as “Maestro” arrives on Netflix, we discuss Best Actor.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! It’s the Friday before Christmas, and all through the race, not an actor was stirring except for… the five we all think will end up getting nominated? That doesn’t work, I know, but let’s pretend it does as we type about Best Actor. As you might have expected, I’ve gone back to Leonardo DiCaprio in my predictions meaning I’m now fully chalk with the odds: Leo, Cillian Murphy, Bradley Cooper, Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright. Most people have those same five and if they don’t, it just means they’ve got Domingo in there instead — possibly in place of Wright, who is fifth in the odds.

And on the shortest day of the year, the Oscar shortlists are here. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are back to discuss the 2023 shortlist snubs and surprises.
“Barbie” leads the way with five shortlist mentions but only across three categories: sound, original score and original song. All three of its song submissions — Billie Eilish‘s “What Was I Made For?”, Dua Lipa‘s “Dance the Night” and “I’m Just Ken” (written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt) — made the top 15, but only two can be nominated as that’s the cap per film in the category.
“Society of the Snow” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” were close behind with four mentions each. The former, which arrives on Netflix on Jan. 4, has been tipped as a late-breaker a la “All Quiet on the Western Front,” which surprised everyone last year with five shortlist mentions...

Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! It’s Friday and we’ve reached the end of a banner week for Charles Melton — winner of supporting actor honors at the Gotham Awards and New York Film Critics Circle. But we’re not here to type about the ascendent “Riverdale” star and our favorite Reggie. Instead, it’s back to the Best Director race.

Welcome to Oscar Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Oscar race — via Slack, of course. This week, we tackle Best Supporting Actor, where four spots seem firm.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! It’s Black Friday and I’m hoping to score a deal on one of this year’s Best Supporting Actor underdogs. You won’t be surprised to hear that I went ahead and moved “May December” breakout Charles Melton into my predictions. The “Riverdale” star is among those actors who have most benefited from the end of the actors’ strike alongside fellow Best Supporting Actor hopeful Willem Dafoe and Best Actor faves Bradley Cooper and Colman Domingo. Plus, there just seems like a lot of real passion behind him — largely on Film Twitter, yes, which doesn’t necessarily matter because none of those people vote for Oscars,...

Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! Another year, another Oscars Best Supporting Actress race that remains wide open after the presumed frontrunner departed for another category. We’re now two months removed from the news that Lily Gladstone had chosen to campaign in the Best Actress race for “Killers of the Flower Moon” instead of Best Supporting Actress, and it’s hard to say any one contender has jumped fully into the vacuum left by Gladstone’s exit. Or is it? Most experts and prognosticators, including both of us, have moved presumed runner-up Da’Vine Joy Randolph into first place for “The Holdovers.” That certainly feels possible:...

Welcome to Oscar Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Oscar race — via Slack, of course. This week, we discuss Best Actor — now with campaigning!
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! It’s Friday and already it feels like the actors’ strike is a distant memory. Concluded this week, it took all of a few minutes for the publicity machine to get up and running, pushing our favorite awards season contenders officially into campaign mode. In few categories is that more welcome — and was it more quickly felt — than Best Actor. Leonardo DiCaprio is expected to attend an academy screening on Sunday for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Joaquin Phoenix will be at the premiere of “Napoleon” next week. Bradley Cooper has an interview scheduled with “CBS News Sunday Morning” — although the official press release calls him merely the “Maestro” writer and director.

Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! Here we are back again to type about everyone’s favorite category, Best Actress. Stop me if you’ve read this one before, but the 2024 Oscars lead actress battle runs awfully deep with contenders — so much so that I could make fairly compelling cases for performers like Cailee Spaeny (ninth in the odds), Natalie Portman (10th in the odds), and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (11th in the odds). But rather than start at the bottom like Drake, let’s go to the top — where things are a little more established.

Just keep swimming… to Oscar? Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss “Nyad,” last-minute contender “Memory” and more.
After opening in limited release two weeks ago (which you may not have noticed since that was the same weekend that “Killers of the Flower Moon” opened), “Nyad” will arrive on Netflix on Friday. The film, which marks the narrative directorial debut of Oscar winners Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, follows Diana Nyad‘s (Annette Bening) lifelong quest to swim from Cuba to Florida with the support of her friend-turned-coach Bonnie Stoll (Jodie Foster). Will Bening get her fifth Oscar nomination for this physically demanding role? And can Foster return to the Oscars 29 years after her last nomination for “Nell”?

Welcome to Oscar Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Oscar race — via Slack, of course. This week, we discuss some Best Picture underdogs.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! It’s Friday, and we’re back to typing about the Best Picture field. When we last touched on this category six weeks ago, I had “Air” in my 10th slot, “American Fiction” on the outside looking in, and “Anatomy of a Fall” assured of a nomination. So some things have changed, at least for me. I dropped “Anatomy of a Fall” for “The Zone of Interest,” I replaced “Air” with “American Fiction,” and I’ve got Cord Jefferson’s sharp satire all the way up in second place behind “Oppenheimer.” We can save some of our “American Fiction” chatter for later this season, but to me, it feels like...

Awards season is in full swing now with the first set of nominations of the season. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss the Gotham Award nominations, “The Holdovers” hitting theaters, “Killers of the Flower Moon” reactions and more.
Gotham noms were announced Monday and were topped by “All of Us Strangers” with four bids. But of course, the Gothams’ biggest news this year was the removal of its budget cap. While some big films like “Oppenheimer” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” did not submit at the Gothams, “Barbie” did and Ryan Gosling nabbed a nom in the gender-neutral supporting performance category. Could he actually win?
See Experts slugfest: ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is here — will it bring Scorsese another Oscar?
Meanwhile, another top five film is opening this weekend: “The Holdovers” will be in limited release before going wide on Nov.

Emmy voting is over, but we won’t know the winners for another four months. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here with their midseason finale with one final look (for now) at some close races.
While “Ted Lasso” remains in first place in the Best Comedy Series odds, “The Bear” has surpassed it in total No. 1 predictions. We discuss why “Ted” is still the one to beat in the top race even if “The Bear” outperforms it elsewhere. Plus: One of us abandons “The Bear” in another category for “Ted.”

Are we underestimating Christina Applegate and Cherry Jones? Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss some Emmy dark horses as Phase 2 voting wraps up in a few days only for the results to be kept under lock and key for five months.
The Best Comedy Actress race remains a tricky category to crack despite the odds heavily leaning toward Quinta Brunson for “Abbott Elementary.” While we’ve both had former champ Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) for a while, one of us has made the switch to Applegate. The “Dead to Me” star is her show’s only nomination, which does not bode well, considering no one has won this category without a series nomination since Melissa McCarthy (“Mike & Molly”) in 2011. But Applegate is a former winner and a beloved figure who’s nominated for her final onscreen performance — can that push...

Welcome back to Oscars Playback, in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng revisit Oscar ceremonies and winners of yesteryear. This week, we cover the 81st Academy Awards in 2009, honoring the films of 2008.
“Slumdog Millionaire” dominated the ceremony with eight wins, including Best Picture, but the big talking point was what was not nominated for the top award: “The Dark Knight.” The top-grossing movie of the year was left out in the cold in favor of Harvey Weinstein‘s baby “The Reader.” The outrage was so immense that little did anyone know, four months after this ceremony, the academy would expand the Best Picture lineup to 10 slots in an effort to help huge blockbusters get nominated.

The 2023 Emmy Awards… coming to you in 2024. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss the new date for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, the start of Phase 2 voting and more.
As expected, the Emmy ceremony has been moved to January due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes — Monday, Jan. 15, to be exact, aka Martin Luther King Jr. Day. That is eight days after the Golden Globes and one day after the Critics Choice Awards, which means “The Bear” could win a bunch of awards for Season 2 before it wins Emmys for Season 1. We discuss why this is a poor move and how the Emmys might feel like a cultural afterthought in the middle of Oscar season.

Welcome back to Oscars Playback, in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng revisit Oscar ceremonies and winners of yesteryear. This week, we cover the 80th Academy Awards in 2008, honoring the films of 2007.
The 80th Academy Awards almost didn’t happen the way it did. The 2007-08 writers’ strike ended just 12 days before the ceremony, so producers were prepping for a strike-proof version of the ceremony. In the end, a traditional ceremony took place, hosted by Jon Stewart, who had to ask Hollywood, “Does this town need a hug?” It was a reference to the slate of “psychopathic killer movies,” including eventual — and one of the greatest — Best Picture winner “No Country for Old Men.”

The Emmys ceremony has moved to 2024 as dual strikes have shut down Hollywood, but there was one set of TV awards this week and an Emmy nominee returned with a new season. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss the Television Critics Association Awards winner, “Only Murders in the Building” Season 3 and how — if at all — either will impact the Emmys.
“Succession” topped the TCA Awards with two wins, including Program of the Year and drama series. It had triple nominees in Individual Achievement in a Drama, but Rhea Seehorn prevailed for “Better Call Saul,” becoming the first supporting performer to win the gender-neutral category. The win can put some wind in her sails with Emmy voting around the corner, but can she actually win the Emmy? When “Better Call Saul” has never won a single Emmy and Jennifer Coolidge exists? One of us has switched to her.

Welcome back to Oscars Playback, in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng revisit Oscar ceremonies and winners of yesteryear. This week, we cover the 78th Academy Awards in 2006, honoring the films of 2005.
This is, of course, the year that “Crash” won Best Picture, pulling off a huge upset over season-long favorite “Brokeback Mountain.” Needless to say, this is not a win that has, uh, aged well, let alone was well received at the time. We discuss all the factors that went into this upset from the obvious (homophobia) to Lionsgate’s savvy, cost-effective campaign that rested on bombarding awards groups with screeners of “Crash,” which was already out on DVD by the time its Oscar rivals were just hitting theaters. “Crash’s” win also gave us the final picture-director split in the era of five Best Picture nominees as “Brokeback” helmer Ang Lee prevailed.

Who nailed their Emmy submissions? And does it even matter if anyone didn’t? Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss actors’ episode picks.
Acting submissions are in, and if the Emmys still operated under the tape system, some of these would lock up a win for certain folks, but alas. On the drama side, no “Succession” actor submitted the most talked-about episode of Season 4, “Connor’s Wedding.” We discuss why that’s not terribly surprising. But there is much more variety in the “Succession” stars’ picks than in that of “The White Lotus” stars, all of which are spread out among just three episodes.

Can “Ted Lasso” hold off “The Bear”? How many Emmys will voters send “Succession” off with? Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to make their first post-nominations winner predictions.
After snagging 21 nominations — its most ever in a single year — “Ted Lasso” remains the frontrunner to win Best Comedy Series for the third straight year. But how close is “The Bear”? It earned 13 nominations for its first season and has the benefit of Season 2 having premiered last month to much adoration — not unlike how “Ted” debuted its second season in 2021 right after it got 20 Emmy nominations for its freshman installment. And after missing writing and directing, where does “Abbott Elementary” stand? Meanwhile, we’re both higher on “Jury Duty” than its current sixth place standing in the odds.

Oscars’ diamond jubilee crowned “Chicago” Best Picture. The Rob Marshall musical took home six trophies total, the most of the night, and was the heavy favorite going in, but the “Chicago” team was probably sweating bullets down to the wire. That’s because “The Pianist” pulled off three huge upsets, winning Best Actor for Adrien Brody, Best Director for Roman Polanski and Best Adapted Screenplay for Ronald Harwood. How close was “The Pianist” to winning Best Picture?

The 75th Emmy Awards nominations are out, and boy, are they a doozy. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to break down all the snubs and surprises.
“Succession” topped the list with a whopping 27 nominations, including a record-tying 14 in acting (a record the two-time defending Best Drama Series champ set last year). It was a big day for HBO overall as it dominated with 127 bids, helped by 24 for “The Last of Us” and 23 for “The White Lotus.” And if you look at the drama categories, those are basically the only shows that exist. Despite the return of the restricted ballot this year, we still got another acting category populated by just two shows — Best Drama Supporting Actor with just dudes from “Succession” and “The White Lotus” — a year after “The White Lotus” and “Dopesick” took over the Best Limited/TV Move Supporting Actress race.

Oscars Playback: Revisiting the 2002 ceremony when Halle Berry made history at the longest show ever
Welcome back to Oscars Playback, in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng revisit Oscar ceremonies and winners of yesteryear. In our Season 2 premiere, we cover the 74th Academy Awards in 2002, honoring the films of 2001.
At four hours and 23 minutes, the ceremony remains the longest in Oscar history and is notable for many things, but especially Halle Berry becoming the first non-white Best Actress champ for “Monster’s Ball.” Along with Denzel Washington‘s Best Actor win for “Training Day,” this marked the first time the lead acting statuettes went to Black performers. Neither dominated the season, but the stars aligned for a historic night.

Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! We made our “final” Emmy nominations predictions earlier this week, but when it comes to speculating, is anything really final? I’d argue no, which is why we’re back to typing about our last-ditch picks.

Can “Succession” break its own acting nomination record? Will “Ted Lasso” still dominate after a divisive season? And what to do in those wild limited categories? Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here with their final Emmy nominations predictions before the July 12 announcement.
Last year, “Succession” set a new record with 14 acting bids in one year. Can it surpass that on a restricted ballot? One of us is expecting that to happen. The restricted ballot was last in use in 2016, which was a very different TV atmosphere as well (read: a lot fewer shows). Will it help underdog passion picks rise to the top over highly visible shows? “The White Lotus” produced five supporting actress nominees last year on an unlimited ballot as a limited series, but there is a chance it could pull four in drama supporting actress. Meanwhile, we wrestle with how to...

It’s the Friday before we make our final Emmy nominations predictions next week, so what better time than now to take one last look at the drama race before our actual last look? I’m not sure if people reading our weekly column realize this, but we both loved “Succession.” It’s true! I would say it’s not just my favorite show of the year but perhaps of forever.

Emmy nominations voting is over, but we’re still two weeks aways from nominations. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to do a Phase 1 postmortem and look ahead to Phase 2, where “The Bear” Season 2 could wield great influence.
Season 2 of “The Bear” premiered last week, just four days before Phase 1 voting ended. It probably did not have that much impact in the final hours of Phase 1, as the show was already expected to do well in nominations, but now that we’ve seen Season 2, can “The Bear” actually win Best Comedy Series? Call it recency bias, but the FX hit will be the show of the summer (no offense fo the departing “The Idol”).

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we tackle comedy on the heels of “The Bear’s” Season 2 drop.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! Or should I say, “Yes, chef”? We’re typing right in the middle of the Emmy nominations voting period, so every sentence counts — at least for a few more days. But we’re also typing on the day after “The Bear” Season 2 dropped all its episodes on Hulu. We’ve talked about this show many times already — including this week with our voices — and it was well positioned for numerous Emmy nominations before Season 2 debuted on Thursday.

Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! Or should I say, “Yes, chef”? We’re typing right in the middle of the Emmy nominations voting period, so every sentence counts — at least for a few more days. But we’re also typing on the day after “The Bear” Season 2 dropped all its episodes on Hulu. We’ve talked about this show many times already — including this week with our voices — and it was well positioned for numerous Emmy nominations before Season 2 debuted on Thursday.

It’s a week into Emmy voting and voters now also have a new serving of “The Bear” to chew on. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss Season 2 of FX’s breakout hit, how it could affect the Emmy race for Season 1 and more.
All 10 episodes of Season 2 of “The Bear” dropped Thursday on Hulu, just four days before Phase 1 voting closes. The season is, obviously, not eligible until next year, but it certainly is not the first show to premiere a new season while a previous season was contending at the Emmys. “The Bear” is already expected to bag a slew of nominations, but could Season 2 love push it over the line to a series win? And would it have been better had the season dropped during Phase 2 voting or been a weekly release?

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we revisit limited, where the supporting categories will have seven slots again.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! We’ve reached the final push before next month’s nominations: Emmy voting is happening right now and the 2023 ballots were a boon to actors competing for attention in the limited series supporting actor and actress races. This year, like last year, there will be seven slots in those categories — meaning it just got a whole lot more likely that our favorite stars from “Beef,” “Black Bird,” “Love & Death,” and “Monster” will score deserved nominations. I went ahead and added Michael Learned to my supporting actress picks, and I know you’ve had the “Monster” star in there for weeks. The extra slot...

It’s June 15, ballots are out and Emmy voting is underway. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to break down the ballots, the surprising submissions, the surprising omissions and more.
Other than Best Comedy Series and Best Drama Series, which are fixed at eight slots, the number of slots in categories is determined by the number of submissions. And unfortunately, it’s tough luck for the series regulars in comedy as the lead categories are going from six to five slots and the supporting one are going from eight to seven after missing the thresholds. That makes one of these categories easy to predict, but who will we drop from the others?

Congratulations to our User Couverture for an outstanding score of 92.31% when predicting the 2023 Tony Awards winners on Sunday night. Our top scorer is actually tied with six people — our editor Sam Eckmann, contributor Jeffrey Kare, expert Wayman Wong (Talkin’ Broadway), Jroemer, John Tracey and dannym97— but has the better point score of 165,780 by using the two Super Bets (500 points each) wisely.
Almost 1,200 people worldwide predicted these Broadway champs with our top scorer getting 24 of 26 categories correct. In fact, the only two misses were for Costume Design (Play) and Sound Design (Musical). The ceremony was hosted by Oscar winner Ariana DeBose in New York City.

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we debate what could possibly upset Best Drama Series frontrunner “Succession.”
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! It’s Friday and the air quality has returned to normal so what better time than the present to talk about this year’s Emmys drama race? We’ve spent a lot of time — some might argue “too much time,” but I’d counter with “there’s never enough time” — typing and talking about “Succession” this year. With good reason: The show has become an Emmys juggernaut and its final season stuck the landing in numerous ways. It’s all but assured of winning Best Drama Series once again and could even break its record for acting nominations in a single year. Things are looking...

It’s T-minus seven days until ballots drop and Emmy voting starts, but there’s still not much clarity to the limited categories. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss the most unpredictable races of the year, which also saw a category switch for someone last week.
Justin Theroux, who was previously in lead actor alongside his “White House Plumbers” co-star Woody Harrelson, made the move to supporting. This is, obviously, far from the first case of a two-hander splitting up its leads to try to maximize nominations, but will either of them get in now? Neither lead nor supporting category is set beyond the top two or three contenders, but the HBO series did not exactly light the world on fire and has long been out of the predicted limited series lineup.

It’s the end of TV as we know it and we feel fine? Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss a handful of finales — series and season — that have unfolded in the final days of the Emmy eligibility. Which burnished their Emmy chances? And does it even matter if they came up short? Spoilers, obviously, abound.
On the drama side, “Succession” closed out its fourth and final season with a devastating whopper of a series finale that saw Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) be named CEO of Waystar Royco and the three sibs, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Shiv (Sarah Snook), get all their hopes and dreams crushed — Kendall especially. Strong came in, uh, strong in the final 88 minutes. Is he back in the driver’s seat in the drama actor race? There were no deaths on “Succession,” as was predicted by some,...

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we revisit drama and try to figure out the eighth series slot.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! We’re back again to get dramatic. Although, I can’t say there is a lot of intrigue in the main drama categories at the moment, all of which feel pretty consistent with what we’ve been typing and saying for months. “Succession” remains way out in front for drama series — I’m vibrating already at the prospect of Sunday’s penultimate episode, Logan’s funeral — and the other shows in contention here feel pretty safe: “Andor,” “Better Call Saul,” “The Crown,” “House of the Dragon,” “The Last of Us,” “The White Lotus,” and “Yellowjackets.” As noted in those unnecessary parentheticals, the shows that...
