Its even challenging to gauge howmanynominees there might be when theyre announced on July 16.
Major categories like Outstanding Drama or Comedy, for example, typically consist of seven nominated programs.
The total is capped at nine, though.
What follows are basically shots in the dark, is what Im saying.
So lets cut the lights and start firing some 2019 Emmy predictions into the void, shall we?
(Then again, Emmy voters have ignored groundbreaking things many, many times before.
So well see.)
(News flash: A lot of Emmy voters are Hollywood old-timers.)
Harder to make sense of is which shows will take the remaining four slots.
I singled outGLOWbecause it was nominated last year and is even better in its second season.
That makes this a really wide-open contest.
While Bateman was nominated forOzark, Linney was not, but I think voters will opt to change that.
Same goes for Comer, who deserves recognition for the intimidating wit she brings toKilling Eve.
So will Banks, who has been here before too.
Im betting yes, unless Gwendoline Christie takes one of their spots instead.
Do keep an eye on Indya Moore fromPose.
Its possible she could be nominated too, especially ifGame of Thronesdoesnt dominate here as much as Im anticipating.
But I can guarantee this: Brosnahan and Louis-Dreyfus will be nominated for Emmys in this category.
Beyond those two, things get a little harder to predict.
I say Adlons the one who remains standing.
The biggest gamble on my list might be Parsons.
But Parsons won four Emmys over the years for playing Sheldon on the most popular sitcom on internet TV.
My guess is that voters will be moved to give him a parting gift.
How confident am I in these predictions?
My guess is Jerome manages to make the cut.
I feel most certain about the two Patricias.
Theyre the front-runners, assuming the race shakes out as I foresee it.
But its possible one of them could be replaced byNorbert Leo Butz, a.k.a.
