Will Elle Fanning and Christina Applegate repeat for “The Great” and “Dead to Me,” respectively? (It could be the latter’s third nomination for the Netflix collection). Will “Beef” be buzz-worthy sufficient for Ali Wong to earn a nom? Can Selena Gomez lastly land an appearing nomination for “Only Murders in the Building”? (She already has a producing nod.) Will Natasha Lyonne be rewarded for the comedy anthology collection and Peacock breakout hit “Poker Face”? At least two of those contenders will likely be on the surface trying in.
Deserving extra consideration and a shot on the area is Bridget Everett from “Somebody Somewhere,” Devery Jacobs in “Reservation Dogs,” Tatiana Maslaney in “She-Hulk” (actually), and Cecily Strong for the second season of “Schmigadoon.” Will the Television Academy give them their consideration?
