The state of the breed
It’s fascinating to see the story arc of Jason Sudeikis’s “Ted Lasso” and Bill Hader’s “Barry” meta-textually the creators/stars running away from the characters that made Emmy voters fall in love with them. Both have twice won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and are happy to still campaign on behalf of the show, highlighting the work of all their collaborators, but it doesn’t feel like they’re looking for much more endorsement. for their acting performances specifically.
This is why “The Bear” breakout Jeremy Allen White really has a shot at winning here, because it’s ultimately the only Emmy category he’s eligible for, and the FX series’ chances of success were very much on his. shoulders. Other stars who served as executive producers and/or co-creators of their own shows are likely to fill the category, from Steve Martin and Martin Short of Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” (Hulu), to Donald Glover of “Atlanta , ” also to newcomers Jason Segel (“Shrinking” of AppleTV+), Mo Amer (“Mo” of Netflix) and Nathan Fielder (“The Rehearsal” of HBO), but voters have less incentive to vote for them here when they might as well win Emmys for writing their show, its directing, and even the series itself.
