‘The Pitt’ bump: Noah Wyle gaining on Adam Scott in latest Emmy odds
Just days after The Pitt's first season hung up its stethoscope, Noah Wyle's Emmy odds continue to rise.
The Best Actor contender, who plays Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, received rave reviews for the storyline in which he had a mental breakdown after losing yet another patient while working an all-day shift. One month ago, Wyle ranked in fifth place to win Best Drama Actor among the Gold Derby odds, but buoyed by positive word-of-mouth for his performance on The Pitt, he's now in the No. 2 position to claim his first career statuette. He previously received five supporting Emmy bids for ER (1995-99).
The only person standing in Wyle's way, according to the Gold Derby predictions, is Severance star Adam Scott. Lest we forget, Scott also received a goat-load of kudos following the finale of his show, particularly for the scene in which the "innie" and "outie" versions of his character, Mark Scout, negotiated with each other via camcorder. Mark's season-long mission to find save his wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman), allowed Scott to reach new depths as an actor. As such, he's held the top spot in our rankings since early March.
As of now, the other likely nominees for Best Drama Actor are Gary Oldman (Slow Horses), Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us), Sterling K. Brown (Paradise), and Eddie Redmayne (The Day of the Jackal). Oldman and Redmayne are both Best Actor Oscar winners, for Darkest Hour (2017) and The Theory of Everything (2014), respectively, while Brown is a triple Emmy champ for The People v. O.J. Simpson (2016), This Is Us (2017), and Lincoln: Divided We Stand (2021).
