2024 Emmy Predictions: Best Drama Supporting Actor
Before you make your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best Drama Supporting Actor, take a tour of our photo gallery showcasing the men most likely to land in the lineup. Last year’s race was completely dominated by actors from “Succession” and “The White Lotus,” neither of which can produce nominees this time since the former ended last May and the latter won’t return until 2025.
Naturally, this category’s sole presently eligible former winner – Billy Crudup (“The Morning Show,” 2020) – has emerged as the frontrunner. Among his likeliest competitors are two of his own cast mates: 2020 nominee Mark Duplass and series newcomer Jon Hamm, who won the 2015 Best Drama Actor Emmy for “Mad Men” and is widely expected to take this year’s limited series lead prize for “Fargo.”
Other outside winners in the mix include James Cromwell (“Sugar”; formerly of “American Horror Story”), Nathan Lane (“The Gilded Age”; “Only Murders in the Building”), and John Malkovich (“The New Look”; “Death of a Salesman”).
Among the men looking to earn their first nominations for roles they have played for multiple seasons are Jack Lowden (“Slow Horses”), Owen Wilson (“Loki”), and “The Crown” actors Khalid Abdalla, Salim Daw, and Jonathan Pryce.
Those seeking bids for new programs include Wendell Pierce (“Elsbeth”), Benny Safdie (“The Curse”), and “3 Body Problem” costars Jovan Adepo and Alex Sharp.
