‘Awards Magnet' mailbag: A ‘Bear' Emmy nominations tank? A cap on acting nominees?
Will The Bear collapse in nominations? Should the Emmys cap acting nominees per show? Awards Magnet host Joyce Eng and Gold Derby senior editor Marcus James Dixon are here to answer your burning questions of the the mailbag is back, and so are your hot takes. One lister is shooting their shot with a bold prediction that The Bear will plummet in nominations for Season 3, a year after it set a record for most nominations for a comedy series in a single year with 23. The show obviously won't get blanked completely, but which major category — categories? — might it miss? Perhaps the one it already lost last year to the reigning Best Comedy Series another listener is "deathly afraid" of a complete takeover by The White Lotus in Best Drama Supporting Actress. At the moment, the HBO satire is "only" predicted to claim four of the seven spots in the category with Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Aimee Lou Wood, and past nominee Natasha Rothwell. But we know how much the acting branch adores The White Lotus — it got nine acting bids for Season 2, one more than for Season 1 — so would anyone be that surprised if it spammed the whole category? Or Best Drama Supporting Actor? And if that happens, should the TV Academy institute a limit to the number of acting nominees per show?Plus: Why is Slow Horses being underestimated? Who were the FYC MVPs and LVPs? And a big announcement!
