Aramide Tinubu (Television Critic, Variety) and Kate Erbland (Editorial Director, IndieWire) join Reshma Gopaldas to discuss the upcoming Emmy nominations and what we hope to see. Erbland explains the voting process as we lead up to the nominations on July 8. We talk about the shows that have been largely ignored by the Television Academy, what shows you won't see being recognized, why The Bear has never belonged in comedy and why it might, for the first time, not see much Emmy recognition this round. Widow's Bay is a new entree on the table, and is pushing The Bear off the menu, with Matthew Rhys leading the horror comedy.

This year marks a final bow for Outlander, Hacks, The Bear and more. Will Caitríona Balfe finally get the Emmy acknowledgement and accolades for her work over the last 10 years on Outlander? Patina Miller also ends her run on Raising Kanan and Tinubu says her work has been stand out, yet largely ignored. Erbland shouts out Kate O'Flynn for her turn in Widow's Bay. Rhea Seehorn and Karolina Wydra's work in Pluribus is sure to get recognition for their apocalyptic antics. Lisa Kudrow is back with The Comeback, and Euphoria gave its final bow, but did Zendaya's performance break through the challenges of the final season? The Pitt will also dominate the nominations, with Noah Wyle at the forefront. For limited series, Tinubu says Sarah Pidgeon is the sole reason why Love Story captivated everyone.

Listen and let us know who you want to see get a nomination.
