The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards are scheduled to be presented on September 7-15, 2024. Nominations were announced on Wednesday, July 17th. Below, you can find our predictions in all the main categories for drama, comedy, limited series and TV movies. And since we love TV over here, in addition to the predicted winners, there's also the ''should win'' category for shows, performers and filmmakers that we have seen excel in their craft and would love to recognise. Browse through them and perhaps you'll also find some help for your own predictions.
