No, God, please not her! Jane Lynch was so much better and actually acting!

[JotB]

Want to hopedict Vanessa Williams for ABLSS so badly

[JotB]

SNL has gotten at least two women in here every time they’ve submitted as much. Whom do we think will be the two this year

• Ariana DeBose
• Billie Eilish
• Kim Kardashian
• Lizzo

[klariso]

Only Ariana

[calculator]

Yeah this might be the year they just have one since I don't think they would really vote for the other 3 who are not known for acting much less comedy.

A Black Lady Sketch Show though might fill the void considering they already had great showing last year

[acornboy]

Why aren’t people overwhelmingly predicting Ullman for Curb? She seems like a lock. Wouldn’t be surprised if SNL doesn’t get anyone in here.

Jane Adams, Hacks
Susie Essman, Hacks

Sharon Stone, The Flight Attendant
Wanda Sykes, Black Lady Sketch Show

[Eduardo Zuckerberg]

Is Natasha Lyonne not submitted for SNL?

[DameOctaviaSpencer]

1. Ariana DeBose (Saturday Night Live)
2. Wanda Sykes (A Black Lady Sketch Show) *Predicted Winner*
3. Harriet Walter (Ted Lasso)
4. Jane Adams (Hacks)
5. Jane Lynch (Only Murders in the Building)
6. Laurie Metcalf (Hacks)

[The Dark Poet]

If Tracey Ullmann doesn't get in for Curb Your Enthusiasm, this category should be cancelled. One of the best performances of the year, regardless of medium.

Literally, there were articles written about how she emerged and breathed new life into the show - there were even people calling for her to receive a spin-off just based on this character. I'd be very surprised if she didn't make it. I'm predicting her to actually win the whole thing, she's just that good.

I don’t watch Curb but Ullman has been raved to the heavens by everyone I’ve heard from. Curious to see if she actually makes it on nomination day.

[JotB]

If she could make it for Mrs. America then I don’t why she can’t for arguably the most individually raved Guest performance in any show in years, that just also happens to be on an incumbent HBO Comedy Series nominee.

[klariso]

Ullamn will also benefit from being in the top on half of the ballots
