All things considered, White won last year, so you have to figure out that the momentum is there. The new season is about to come out, so he\u2019ll be top of mind. There\u2019s a chance that Season 4 may be the final season. But that means he\u2019ll still be available next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOther actors that Schneider highlighted included Nathan Lane from \u201cMid-Century Modern,\u201d Ted Danson from \u201cA Man on the Inside,\u201d Jason Segel from \u201cShrinking,\u201d Adam Brody from \u201cNobody Wants This\u201d and Seth Rogen from \u201cThe Studio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFor lead comedy actress, \u201cWe have national treasure Jean Smart who won last year for \u2018Hacks,\u2019 Longeretta said. \u201cQuinta Brunson, who has also won in the past, and Ayo Edebiri, who won in supporting.

I was impressed with Kate, so I could see her breaking in. But, I have a hard time believing that anyone will dethrone Jean Smart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn the supporting actress class, Hannah Einbinder from \u201cHacks\u201d is a contender who has but to obtain an Emmy. \u201cMaybe it\u2019s time to give her some love finally,\u201d Schneider mentioned.
