2026 Emmy predictions: best supporting actress, comedy
This is read by an automated voice.Please report any issues or inconsistencies here.
Hannah Einbinder is a big favorite to hack her way to a repeat win, with a lot of support for Jessica Williams and Janelle James from the panel as well.Michelle Pfeiffer is seen as a potential double nominee, as “Margo’s” “scene-stealing,” “bawdy” mom and for her dramatic work in “The Madison.”Lorraine Ali is so glad we had this time together with “Carol Burnett in Season 2 of the best 2026 comedy you never watched, ‘Palm Royale.’ She still has it, in spades.”Despite Jane Wickline’s delightfully awkward cringe and Sarah Sherman’s delectable insanity, only one “Saturday Night Live” cast member picks up votes this round.
Per Matt Roush: “The limb I’m happy to go out on: championing Ashley Padilla for her breakout year on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ ”Meanwhile, Tracy Brown says another of the “Hacks” deserves notice: “I think Meg Stalter is more than due.”Speaking of “Hacks” folks whose names do not rhyme with Schmanna Schmeinbinder, Kristen Baldwin offers one neat trick to fix stuff in general: “A modest proposal to Hollywood: Cast Robby Hoffman in everything.”More predictions: comedy series | comedy actor | comedy actress | comedy supp.actor1.
