2024 Emmy Predictions: Best TV Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor
As you prepare to make your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best TV Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor, make sure you check out our photo gallery featuring the strongest contenders. Hot off his Oscar win for his featured turn in “Oppenheimer,” Robert Downey Jr. is this race’s frontrunner based on his villainous, multi-character performance in “The Sympathizer.”
Potential category newcomer Downey could be forced to fend off an entire slate of veteran contenders, including two-time winner Beau Bridges (“The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom” and “The Second Civil War”), who is now seeking recognition for “Lessons in Chemistry.”
Other past champs in the hunt for more gold are Hank Azaria (“The Idol”; formerly of “Tuesdays with Morrie”) and Donald Sutherland (“Lawmen: Bass Reeves”; “Citizen X”).
Included among this category’s former nominees who might show up again are “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” cast mates Treat Williams and Joe Mantello, Marvel mainstay Don Cheadle (“Secret Invasion”), and Jake Lacy, who delivered qualifying performances in both “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial” and “Apples Never Fall.”
