With just one week left in the 2024-25 Emmy cycle, Awards Magnet hosts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here with another round of predictions — for the final time together.

Sadly, this is Chris' last episode of Awards Magnet — an end of an era! — but he's going out with a bang with a new set of predictions. He's back on The Four Seasons train, but has forsaken one of his favorites from Hacks despite this week's major episode. This week also marked the end of the first season of The Studio and saw the release of The Bear Season 4 trailer. Season 4 is eligible next year, of course, but hope springs eternal for those who feel a good fourth season will boost Season 3's Emmy chances.

Awards Magnet will continue, but listen to Chris' farewell here.
