The , the prize was yours from the start. She’s deserved this win for a long time, and thank goodness she’s finally getting her time to shine.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy
Diego Calva (Babylon)
Daniel Craig (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery)
Adam Driver (White Noise)
Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin)
Ralph Fiennes (The Menu)
Who We Wanted to Win: Another easy pick: Colin Farrell. We loved him for a number of different reasons this year (The Batman for one, his talk about sex with Emma Thompson for another), but playing a donkey-obsessed sad sack in The Banshees of Inisherin has to be at the top.
Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture
Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin)
Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin)
Brad Pitt (Babylon)
Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once)
Eddie Redmayne (The Good Nurse)
Who We Wanted to Win: Though the Banshees boys put on a good show, Ke Huy Quan deserved this win. This line alone clinched it: “In another life, I would’ve really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.” It’ll be so fun to see photos of him and Yeoh holding their statues together later tonight.
Best Supporting Actress, Motion Picture
Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)
Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin)
Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once)
Dolly De Leon (Triangle of Sadness)
Carey Mulligan (She Said)
Who We Wanted to Win: We’re missing a big name in this category (some say it’s Everything Everywhere’s Stephanie Hsu; I say it’s Tár’s Nina Hoss), but working with what we have, Dolly De Leon was the clear standout. That being said, she had tough competition from everyone else nominated—for good reason! Anyone could’ve won this category. Angela Bassett, we love you too.
Best Television Series, Drama
Better Call Saul
The Crown
House of the Dragon
Ozark
Severance
Who We Want to Win: The Crown has a nasty habit of cleaning up during awards season, but we’re rooting for Severance. The office dance party? The love story between Burt and Irving? The finale?! Everything about Severance was mind-blowing, and it’s hard to find a TV series that creates such a fully realized alternate universe in just its first season.
Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy
Abbott Elementary
The Bear
Hacks
Only Murders in the Building
Wednesday
Who We Want to Win: A year without Ted Lasso; thank goodness. Abbott Elementary is the best TV series in this list, especially seeing all its done to revive the sitcom, but a win for Hacks or The Bear would also be great. From a holistic perspective? Abbott Elementary, the award is yours.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama
Jeff Bridges (The Old Man)
Kevin Costner (Yellowstone)
Diego Luna (Andor)
Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul)
Adam Scott (Severance)
Who We Want to Win: It would be a crime not to pick Bob Odenkirk for this category for his stunning work in Better Call Saul, especially as the show wrapped up this past year. After having a small heart attack on set, the actor still went on to film a fantastic season— he’s worthy of the award.

AMC
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Drama
Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon)
Laura Linney (Ozark)
Imelda Staunton (The Crown)
Hilary Swank (Alaska Daily)
Zendaya (Euphoria)
Who We Wanted to Win: This is a category in which The Crown has historically excelled, so it’s good to see the love for Zendaya this year for her frenzied performance in Euphoria. It was perhaps one of the only good parts of Sam Levinson’s wacky teen show. Even though she wasn’t there (she’s filming Dune: Part 2) it’s still so fun to watch Zendaya win awards.
Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy
Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary)
Kaley Cuoco (The Flight Attendant)
Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building)
Jenna Ortega (Wednesday)
Jean Smart (Hacks)
Who We Wanted to Win: Though Quinta Brunson and Jean Smart were favored to win this award—and for good reasons!—we’d like to shout out Kaley Cuoco for another killer chapter in The Flight Attendant saga. No, we were not expecting her to win, and Brunson’s win is lovely. But after Cuoco played several different versions of herself, how can you not root for her?
Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy
Donald Glover (Atlanta)
Bill Hader (Barry)
Steve Martin (Only Murders in the Building)
Martin Short (Only Murders in the Building)
Jeremy Allen White (The Bear)
Who We Wanted to Win: What a tricky category! It was hard to root against Steve Martin and Martin Short, but there’s no way I could choose anyone but Bill Hader or Jeremy Allen White, so the win was certainly deserved. I’m still struggling to call Barry and The Bear comedy series, especially after both actors gave monologues and performances that drove me toward emotional despair.
Best Supporting Actor, Television
John Lithgow (The Old Man)
Jonathan Pryce (The Crown)
John Turturro (Severance)
Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary)
Henry Winkler (Barry)
Who We Wanted to Win: This was another tricky one, as John Turturro and Tyler James Williams, with two very different roles, blew me away this year. But I was rooting for Henry Winkler, who time and time again has given us all lessons on how to act in Barry, even if they’re not through the classes he’s putting on in the show.
Best Supporting Actress, Television
Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown)
Hannah Einbinder (Hacks)
Julia Garner (Ozark)
Janelle James (Abbott Elementary)
Sheryl Lee Ralph (Abbott Elementary)
Who We Wanted to Win: Either Abbott Elementary lady winning would’ve make me so happy, but Sheryl Lee Ralph completely deserved this award. She’s been a pleasure to watch for two seasons of the hit ABC sitcom—charming, motherly, and hilarious all at the same time. And her speech at the Emmys was so fantastic, so we would’ve given anything to witness another one. Too bad!

Gilles Mingasson
Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture made for Television
Black Bird
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
The Dropout
Pam & Tommy
The White Lotus
Who We Want to Win: Anything but Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. (We’re only half-kidding.) Obviously we’re pulling for The White Lotus, which gave us more Jennifer Coolidge, a drunkenly enraged Aubrey Plaza, and decked Haley Lu Richardson out in the worst outfits we’ve ever seen this season. Five stars. Let’s see Survivor winner Mike White accept more awards.
Best Performance by an Actor, Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture made for Television
Taron Egerton (Black Bird)
Colin Firth (The Staircase)
Andrew Garfield (Under the Banner of Heaven)
Evan Peters (Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story)
Sebastian Stan (Pam & Tommy)
Who We Want to Win: It would be fun to see Andrew Garfield win an award, but Colin Firth is the most deserving for his role in HBO’s true crime-turned-mystery series The Staircase. Again, anything but Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, please.
Best Performance by an Actress, Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture made for Television
Jessica Chastain (George and Tammy)
Julia Garner (Inventing Anna)
Lily James (Pam & Tommy)
Julia Roberts (Gaslit)
Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout)
Who We Want to Win: And the best biopic role goes to…Amanda Seyfried! Though the entertainment value in the limited series biopic is drying up, Seyfried wowed us with her performance as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout. Jennifer Lawrence even saw how good it was and dropped out of Adam McKay’s film adaptation of the same story.
Best Performance by an Actress in Supporting Role, Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture made for Television
Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus)
Claire Danes (Fleishman Is in Trouble)
Daisy Edgar-Jones (Under the Banner of Heaven)
Niecy Nash-Betts (Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story)
Aubrey Plaza (The White Lotus)
Who We Want to Win: Though it may be controversial to root against The White Lotus, and the two ladies nominated in this category gave absolutely killer performances, we’re putting all our eggs in the Claire Danes basket. If you’ve only watched the first few episodes of Fleishman Is in Trouble, you may be wondering why Danes is the only one nominated from the entire TV show. Please, for the love of TV, watch Episode 7. Then, you’ll understand.
Best Performance by an Actor in Supporting Role, Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture made for Television
F. Murray Abraham (The White Lotus)
Domhnall Gleeson (The Patient)
Paul Walter Hauser (Black Bird)
Richard Jenkins (Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story)
Seth Rogen (Pam & Tommy)
Who We Want to Win: We’re going back toWhite Lotus here and rooting for F. Murray Abraham, who farted, flirted, and fell into our hearts. What a weirdo! Equally weird is Domhnall Gleeson in The Patient, who we wouldn’t mind winning just as well.
Best Original Score, Motion Picture
Carter Burwell (The Banshees of Inisherin)
Alexandre Desplat (Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio)
Hildur Guðnadóttir (Women Talking)
Justin Hurwitz (Babylon)
John Williams (The Fabelmans)
Who We Wanted to Win: We were pulling for Hildur Guðnadóttir, especially as she put out two amazing scores this year (for Women Talking and Tár), though this was a tough category to select one winner. Alexandre Desplat? The legendary John Williams? Justin Hurwitz was a fan favorite, especially after Whiplash and La La Land.
N.T. Rama Rao Jr. in RRR.
DVV Entertainment
Best Picture, Non-English Language
All Quiet on the Western Front (Germany)
Argentina, 1985 (Argentina)
Close (Belgium)
Decision to Leave (South Korea)
RRR (India)
Who We Wanted to Win: A magnificent three-hour masterpiece rested within these nominees—obviously, we were pulling for RRR. Full of dancing, a fantastic original song, brotherhood, and epic action, RRR is the epitome of what cinema should be.
Best Original Song, Motion Picture
“Carolina” (Where the Crawdads Sing)
“Ciao Papa”(Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio)
“Hold My Hand” (Top Gun: Maverick)
“Lift Me Up” (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)
“Naatu Naatu” (RRR)
Who We Wanted to Win: Taylor Swift won’t win an Oscar (nor did she get a Golden Globe) for this one. We’re so happy “Naatu Naatu” from RRR won the award. “Ciao Papa” would’ve also been a fun win.
Best Motion Picture, Animated
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
Inu-Oh
Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Turning Red
Who We Wanted to Win: Although Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio was favored to win this category, with the cheeky Marcel the Shell right behind, we were really hoping Turning Red would get some love. That’s especially the case after facing so much strife after release. It’s also a crime Finneas and Billie Eilish also haven’t earned more recognition for their work in the movie, penning the songs for the fictional boy band 4*TOWN.
