Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
We had many major contenders in this category, which is never a surprise when it comes to Lead Actor in a Drama. Bob Odenkirk’s darkly comedic turn in Better Call Saul is nothing short of fantastic, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he ran away with an Emmy this fall. Jon Hamm has yet to win an Emmy for his role as Don Draper; this is his last chance. Mads Mikkelsen is quietly menacing and pristine as Hannibal Lecter, and it’s unbelievable he has yet to be recognized for his great work on one of network TV’s best shows. Kevin Spacey, once again, impresses as dirty politician (and now president) Frank Underwood. Finally, we felt these two superheroes deserved the spotlight: Grant Gustin and Charlie Cox. Both actors bring so much to their superhero counterparts; they are a big part of the reason why we love The Flash and Daredevil so much. – Gabrielle Bondi
