With The White Lotus, Ted Lasso, Barry, and other series no longer in the mix, the supporting actor and actress categories have lots of openings to fill — EW critic Kristen Baldwin shares her predictions for contenders from The Morning Show, The Gilded Age, Abbott Elementary, The Bear, True detective, Fargo, and more. Plus, Ripley star and producer Andrew Scott chats with Awardist host Gerrad Hall about getting into the head of his killer characters, those grueling days filming two murders, his cat costar, and more.
