Do you hear that, TV fans? That's the sound of Emmy-nominated performers stampeding to do as many interviews as humanly possibly between now and August 26, when final-round voting for the 76th Emmy Awards closes.

After staying quiet through last awards season due to the strikes, the actors and actresses in the running are back on the campaign trail ahead of 2024 Emmys, which will air Sunday, Sept. 15 on ABC. Who has the best shot of taking home the Lead and Supporting awards in Drama, Comedy, and Limited Series? Our picks are below — but a lot can happen between now and the end of final-round voting in August, so check back for updates.

Check out more from EW's The Awardist, featuring exclusive interviews, analysis, and our podcast diving into all the highlights from the year's best in TV.

Hulu; Netflix

Jennifer Aniston, The Morning ShowCarrie Coon, The Gilded AgeMaya Erskine, Mr. & Mrs. SmithAnna Sawai, ShōgunImelda Staunton, The CrownReese Witherspoon, The Morning Show

Who will/should win: Anna SawaiFirst-time nominee Anna Sawai is currently in the lead for her controlled yet deeply felt performance as Mariko on FX's Shōgun. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine that voters will say goodbye to The Crown without awarding its final Queen Elizabeth, Imelda Staunton, with an Emmy of her own. For now, these two regal women will have to battle it out on the campaign trail. (Side note: I also wouldn't be mad if Maya Erskine earned an upset win for her deadpan brilliance on Mr. & Mrs. Smith.)

Hulu; Amazon

Idris Elba, HijackDonald Glover, Mr. & Mrs. SmithWalton Goggins, FalloutGary Oldman, Slow HorsesHiroyuki Sanada, ShōgunDominic West, The Crown

Who will win: Hiroyuki SanadaLong live Lord Toranaga! Even after switching to the more competitive drama category, Shōgun and its cast has the momentum right now. One potential spoiler: Gary Oldman, whose performance as Slow Horses' grumpy, gassy Jackson Lamb is a real crowd pleaser.

Who should (also) win: Walton GogginsIn a perfect world, Sanada would tie with Fallout's creepy and charismatic Ghoul, Walton Goggins, and they'd each get 30 seconds for an acceptance speech.

FX; ABC; Amazon

Quinta Brunson, Abbott ElementaryAyo Edebiri, The BearSelena Gomez, Only Murders in the BuildingMaya Rudolph, LootJean Smart, HacksKristen Wiig, Palm Royale

Who will/should win: Jean SmartIt's going to be a close, three-way race, but Jean Smart will likely beat out last year's winner, Quinta Brunson, and last year's winner in the Supporting Actress category, Ayo Edebiri.

Hulu(2)

Matt Berry, What We Do in the ShadowsLarry David, Curb Your EnthusiasmSteve Martin, Only Murders in the BuildingMartin Short, Only Murders in the BuildingJeremy Allen White, The BearD'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Reservation Dogs

Who will win: Jeremy Allen WhiteExpect back-to-back wins for Jeremy Allen White, who helped make season 2 of The Bear so extraordinary.

Who should win: D'Pharoah Woon-A-TaiWhite is deserving, but he a) already has an Emmy for this role and b) will have more opportunities to win with seasons 3 and 4. So how about honoring a different Bear: D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, whose ineffable charm and genuine heart as Reservation Dogs' Bear cannot be celebrated enough, especially for his first (and last for this role) nomination.

Netflix; HBO

Christine Baranski, The Gilded AgeNicole Beharie, The Morning ShowElizabeth Debicki, The CrownGreta Lee, The Morning ShowLesley Manville, The CrownKaren Pittman, The Morning ShowHolland Taylor, The Morning Show

Who will/should win: Elizabeth DebickiThere's no doubt this award should go to Elizabeth Debicki, who brought such bittersweet longing and humor to her performance as Princess Diana on The Crown, I can't even think about it without getting a little misty. All of that said, can we please take a moment to enjoy The Gilded Age's Christine Baranski earning her first Drama nomination in nearly a decade? Don't make us wait us so long next time, Emmy voters.

FX

Tadanobu Asano, ShōgunBilly Crudup, The Morning ShowMark Duplass, The Morning ShowJon Hamm, The Morning ShowTakehiro Hira, ShōgunJack Lowden, Slow HorsesJonathan Pryce, The Crown

Who will/should win: Tadanobu AsanoBilly Crudup, also an Emmy favorite, already took home this award in 2020. But this is the year of Shōgun, and voters cannot go wrong with Tadanobu Asano, so hilarious and scary as the scheming, unstable Yabushige.

HBO

Carol Burnett, Palm RoyaleLiza Colón-Zayas, The BearHannah Einbinder, HacksJanelle James, Abbott ElementarySheryl Lee Ralph, Abbott ElementaryMeryl Streep, Only Murders in the Building

Who will/should win: Hannah EinbinderNow that Ayo Edebiri has graduated to Lead Actress, Hannah Einbinder — who gets better every year as Hacks' Ava — is the one to beat. (Of course, there's a chance voters may be physically incapable of skipping over Meryl Streep's name when presented with it on an awards ballot, but I have to believe that common sense will prevail.)

FX

Lionel Boyce, The BearPaul W. Downs, HacksEbon Moss-Bachrach, The BearPaul Rudd, Only Murders in the BuildingTyler James Williams, Abbott ElementaryBowen Yang, Saturday Night Live

Who will/should win: Ebon Moss-BachrachStart belting out the Taylor Swift, folks, because The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach is going to add another Emmy to his collection.

HBO

Jodie Foster, True Detective: Night CountryBrie Larson, Lessons in ChemistryJuno Temple, FargoSofia Vergara, GriseldaNaomi Watts, Feud: Capote vs. the Swans

Who will/should win: Jodie FosterDespite her long career (including a lot of TV work as a child actor), Jodie Foster has never been nominated for a Primetime Emmy in an acting category. (She earned a directing nomination in 2014 for Orange Is the New Black and a producing nod for Showtime's TV movie The Baby Dance in 1999.) Now that she's finally given modern voters a chance to honor her, there's little chance they'll ignore her fierce and funny turn as Ennis, Alaska police chief Liz Danvers.

Netflix(2)

Matt Bomer, Fellow TravelersRichard Gadd, Baby ReindeerJon Hamm, FargoTom Hollander, Feud: Capote vs. the SwansAndrew Scott, Ripley

Who will win: Richard GaddAs of this moment, the writer and star of Baby Reindeer has the edge, but it's close.

Who should win: Andrew ScottFargo has the most nominations (15), but all the limited series races will come down to word-of-mouth hit Baby Reindeer (11 noms) vs. black-and-white wonder Ripley (13). With Reindeer the favorite to win in the show category, voters may very well reward the Talented Mr. Andrew Scott here.

Netflix

Dakota Fanning, RipleyLily Gladstone, Under the BridgeJessica Gunning, Baby ReindeerAja Naomi King, Lessons in ChemistryDiane Lane, Feud: Capote vs. the SwansNava Mau, Baby ReindeerKali Reis, True Detective: Night Country

Who will/should win: Jessica GunningHooray for Nava Mau and Kali Reis' barrier-breaking nominations for Baby Reindeer and True Detective, respectively. But it's another first-time nominee, the wonderful Jessica Gunning, who will take home the prize. (Go check her out in The Outlaws, too!)

HBO; Showtime

Jonathan Bailey, Fellow TravelersRobert Downey Jr., The SympathizerTom Goodman-Hill, Baby ReindeerJohn Hawkes, True Detective: Night CountryLamorne Morris, FargoLewis Pullman, Lessons in ChemistryTreat Williams, Feud: Capote vs. the Swans

Who will/should win: Jonathan BaileyIt would be easy for voters to award the biggest star on the ballot — and to be fair, RDJ played five (!) characters in The Sympathizer — but Jonathan Bailey's star continues to rise (he's currently filming the latest Jurassic Park sequel and costars in the upcoming Wicked films), and he was simply too heartbreaking as Fellow Travelers' Tim Laughlin to be ignored.

The Emmys are voted upon each year by the members of the Television Academy. The final round of voting will come to a close on Aug. 26, less than a month before the ceremony is set to air live on Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on ABC.
