• The 12 series you should see, according to the 2020 Emmys

This year the Emmys will be completely different from any year.

And not just because it

is the first tra year

, but because for the

first time Emmy will, for obvious reasons, from each of the more than 130 houses nominees.

On Sunday, September 22 (at dawn from Sunday to Monday in Spanish time) each star will put on their best clothes to sit in their living room and see if they shout their name by videoconference at the gala presented by Jimmy Kimmel.

Will it be

the successor (worth the redundancy) of the dragons in HBO? Or will

give

the bell?

That long-awaited moment will come to an end, but first we'll also talk about

(and its 26 nominations),

and a veteran like

.

.

In EL PAÍS we will follow the ceremony up to the minute, which can be seen in Spain on television on Movistar Seriesmanía (dial 12) from 02.00 Spanish peninsular time.

But first, it is time for the pools.

.

This call to be the new Game of Thrones in the prestige and awards of HBO.

Any other option (

very

with academics) would force us to contest these awards and we don't want that.

Although there is a provocative vote for

.

Disney +, surprise of the year?

We'd like him to win

: The second season of

, but let's not forget how brilliant it was on so many levels.

For her we bet en bloc

)

Will Win

: When he got here, we said it was already an award to have

, because now we all support his award.

A little-seen comedy, but with very loyal fans and actors loved by the world.

This is going in style.

Among giants like HBO, Netflix and Prime Video, Pop TV taking the cat to the water has its grace.

We'd like it to win

: Guileeeeeermo ... What We Do in the Shadows has had a sooooo fun second season (which is what it's all about in a comedy) that would deserve the award, and have more people see it.

We are very Jackie Daytona.

)

Will win

: Divided vote.

One for

, for a protest theme and distribution of heart attacks, and two for Watchmen, this year's multinominate, also with a very topical theme (police violence and racism).

We would like it to win

: We should remember

, but the success of Watchmen is unquestionable, because of how it manages to crack the maximum work of superheroes in comics to turn it into an original thing that continues the Alan Moore comic without nostalgia but respecting the fundamental .

Only Damon Lindelof could do it.

(Last year's winner:

)

Will Win

:

could have come close to the Oscars race had it hit theaters.

Here she stands out among final episodes and pastiches that she far exceeds.

We would like it to win

: It opens where it opens,

is a movie, with performances in a state of grace and bizarre characters that it does not judge;

a dark humorous look at losers reminiscent of the Coens and an incredible but true story.

  (This Is Us)

• Steve Carell

  (The Morning Show)

• Brian Cox

  (Succession)

)

Will Win

: The Emmys love Jason Bateman, who has an award for even directing

That is why he has one of the votes.

The other two go for

: Brian Cox's veteran and Jeremy Strong's rap ... but watch out for duplication.

We would like him to win

: We are all very fans of Brian Cox, his lapidary phrases and how well he says

, but one of the votes goes to Jeremy Strong, for everything he does from his silenced depression.

And watch out for the Oscars.

Leading Actress in Drama

• Jennifer Aniston

  (The Morning Show)

• Olivia Colman

  (The Crown)

• Jodie Comer

  (Killing Eve)

• Laura Linney

  (Ozark)

• Sandra Oh

  (Killing Eve)

• Zendaya

  (Euphoria)

(Last year's winner: Jodie Comer,

)

Will Win

: This category is fairly open, but there are two votes for multi-award winning Laura Linney.

The other is for Olivia Colman, because ... queen of the world and of everyone's heart.

We'd like her to win

: What Jennifer Aniston does on

, and her unusual portrait, shouldn't go unnoticed.

And Zendaya is Zendaya, but the

are not passionate about

  (Succession)

• Bradley Whitford

  (The

  Handmaid's

  Tale)

• Jeffrey Wright

  (Westworld)

(Last year's winner: Peter Dinklage,

)

Will Win

: Three

Actors

!

But they all have their crumbs.

Hence two votes for MacFadyen and Culkin;

and the third goes to Billy Cudrup, who if they put him here is because they have seen his aggressive executive stealing plane in action.

We'd like him to win

: Divided Heart, but Matthew Macfadyen.

His Tom is despicable and wonderful as a character at the same time.

He achieves the impossible: that we no longer see him as Mr. Darcy.

The important thing, in any case, is that the obsession with Gus Fring ends.

Supporting Actress in Drama

  (The Crown)

  (The Handmaid's Tale)

(Last year's winner: Julia Garner,

)

Will Win

: If Meryl Streep only gets one of our three votes, it's because this category is wild.

The others go to Julia Garner (although she has already met) and Helena Bonham Carter.

Making a Ouija board to talk to Margarita has to have a prize.

We'd like him to win

: We love Sarah Snook (did we already say we're Team Succession), but every time Bonham Carter comes on screen, she eats the screen too.

• Eugene Levy

  (Schitt's Creek)

• Ramy Youssef

  (Ramy)

(Last year's winner: Bill Hader,

)

Will Win

: They're TV legends, but it's been 30 years since Ted Danson had an Emmy, and it's been 38 years since Eugene Levy had his.

One vote for the first and one for the second, riding the wave of

, created by his son.

We would like him to win

: A split vote between Danson and Ramy Youssef, not so much for him himself (the secondary ones in the series are the ones who really deserve awards) as for the series.

The two eras of comedy.

  (Dead to Me)

• Rachel Brosnahan

  (The Wonderful Mrs. Maisel)

  (Insecure)

• Tracy Ellis Ross

  (black-ish)

(Last year's winner: Phoebe Waller-Bridge,

)

Will Win

: Another 38 years later, Catherine O'Hara achieves the many-deserved recognition in Christopher Guest's films.

We'd like it to win

: Neither

nor

have had their best seasons this year, so it's time for another great tribute to a legend from the Canadian SCTV school.

Comedy Supporting Actor

  (Ramy)

  (Brooklyn Nine Nine)

  (The Wonderful Mrs. Maisel)

• Kenan Thompson

  (Saturday Night Live)

(Last year's winner: Tony Shaloub,

)

Will win

: Two votes for Dan Levy, and one for Mahershala Ali, because this great actor beats everything he's nominated for and there has to be a bit of diversity.

The whites and the protagonists of

are not going to win it all

.

We'd like him to win

: Two votes for Alan Arkin (always) and one for William Jackson Harper, because it's impossible not to love Chidi.

Comedy supporting actress

• Alex Borstein

  (The Wonderful Mrs. Maisel)

• D'Arcy Carden

  (The Good Place)

• Betty Gilpin

  (GLOW)

• Marin Hinkle

  (The Wonderful Mrs. Maisel)

  (Schitt's Creek)

• Yvonne Orji

  (Insecure)

• Cecily Strong

  (Saturday Night Live)

(Last year's winner: Alex Borstein,

)

Will win

: One vote for the already veteran Kate McKinnon and two for Alex Borstein, because you can not go empty, and although the series is not at its best, she continues to stand out.

We'd like it to win

: We don't know who has more personalities, D'Arcy Carden or Kate McKinnon, but they all make us laugh a lot.

Leading Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie

• Jeremy Irons

  (Watchmen)

• Hugh Jackman

  (Bad Education)

• Paul Mescal

  (Normal People)

• Jeremy Pope

  (Hollywood)

• Mark Ruffalo

  (The Undeniable Truth)

(Last year's winner: Jharrel Jerome,

)

Will Win

: Very Divided.

On the one hand, Paul Mescal, who is very on the rise lately, and Mark Ruffalo, although the latter suffers more and above with twins.

A series to win the Emmy.

But beware, the third vote is for Hugh Jackman, who does everything with a jerky ease, although his character is not easy at all.

We'd like him to win

: Paul Mescal makes us cry and Hugh Jackman makes us see everything he comes out of.

A star with all the letters, even if he is the most normal and scammer type.

Leading actress in a miniseries or TV movie

• Cate Blanchett

  (Mrs America)

• Shira Haas

  (Unorthodox)

• Regina King

  (Watchmen)

• Octavia Spencer

  (Madam CJ Walker: A Self Made Woman)

• Kerry Washington

  (Little Fires Everywhere)

(Last year's winner: Michelle Williams,

)

Will Win

: Does Cate Blanchett Cough?

Maybe we could imagine that, if the queen of television wasn't here.

Regina King, who has won three of her four nominations, is performing the year after her Oscar and about to go for all the awards as a director.

The Emmys like to make ugly stars who jump on TV for the first time, so two votes for justice versus one for anti-feminist.

We'd like her to win

: Cate Blanchett would be a fair winner in a series with great performances, but she has a touch of “I do TV to win the awards” that we have seen before.

King is always faithful to us.

His character makes us prefer to see him rather than blue men and terrorists from Roscharch.

Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television

• Yahya Abdul-Mateen I

  (Watchmen)

• Jovan Adepo

  (Watchmen)

• Tituss Burgess

  (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. The Reverend)

• Louis Gossett Jr.

  (Watchmen)

• Dylan McDermott

  (Hollywood)

• Jim Parsons

  (Hollywood)

(Last year's winner: Ben Wishaw,

)

Will Win

: Jim Parsons is over-acting and parodic in Hollywood, but anything other than playing Sheldon is fine with the academy.

The other vote is for Yahya Abdul-Mateen I, the

surprise

.

We'd like it to win

: Any recognition to

is fine with us.

male performances

, perhaps best forgotten.

Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television

• Uzo Aduba

  (Mrs America)

• Toni Collette

  (Believe me)

• Margo Martindale

  (Mrs America)

• Jean Smart

  (Watchmen)

• Holland Taylor

  (Hollywood)

• Tracey Ullman

  (Mrs America)

(Last year's winner: Patricia Arquette,

)

Will Win

: Jean Smart may be on her way to her fourth Emmy, but watch out for Toni Collette, an actress who's always fine whatever she does.

And it does it all.

Gu us

: Jean Smart is the muse of television, but how can we not love Smart, Taylor, Collette and Ullman?

Without them, TV is much worse.

Supporting actress Margo Martindale too, but in Mrs. America there are more remarkable performances than hers (where's Sarah Paulson?).
