Emmy Winner Predictions: Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series  

By Abe Friedtanzer 

Now this is one hell of a category, and it may actually be THE most competitive race of Emmy night. Unlike drama and comedy series, where The Crown and Ted Lasso have distinct advantages and are all but guaranteed to triumph (check out our breakdowns of those categories for more), this one is completely open and up in the air. It’s one of the few categories where I correctly predicted all five nominees, though they didn’t end up with the same hauls I expected. Let’s break down the competition, their overall stats, and which of them could emerge victorious…

Emmy Category Analysis: Will Anya Taylor-Joy Steamroll Her Way to Victory in Competitive Actress Field?

Team Experience is taking a look at episode submissions in major Emmy categories. 

Anya Taylor-Joy has won every precursor, but can she beat new competition like Kate Winslet and Elizabeth Olsen?By: Christopher James

No category is as stacked as Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie. From top to bottom, each of the women nominated in the category give awards-worthy performances in projects as different as prestige dramas, gritty rape stories, biopics and Marvel comedies. Last week, we lamented that the corresponding Lead Actor race lacked variety and a clear frontrunner. The story could not be more different in Lead Actress. Though we do have a frontrunner, each person poses some level of threat that makes this an exciting category to watch.

Let’s take a look at the nominees for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie:
