Lots of big names anchoring comedies now. I think Parsons is finally out this year. I don’t think he gets a nomination. I think the category is too tight. Glover and Tambor are both locks. I think Anderson and Ansari get in. If we go with six, Azaria could sneak in. It’s tough.

My Predictions: Glover, Tambor, Anderson, Ansari, Azaria, Macy

Well, obviously Dreyfus is in. I mean, the big question is, can she be beaten? I think Issa Rae has a very good shot. As far as nominations go beyond those two… I think Parker will sneak a nod for Divorce, along with Ross for Blackish. The final spot? Who knows…

My Predictions: Louis-Dreyfus, Rae, Ross, Parker, Bridge, Kemper
