Final 2018 Emmy Nomination Predictions: Are Any Real Upsets Possible?

Outstanding Limited Series

“American Vandal”
“The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”
“Godless”
“Howard’s End”
“The Looming Tower”
“Twin Peaks”

Lowdown: Five of these nominees are locks. The big question is whether “American Vandal” will find enough support with mainstream Television Academy members or does “Top of the Lake: China Girl,” “Patrick Melrose” or, cough, “Genius: Picasso” fill out the category.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie

Darren Criss, “Assassination of Gianni Versace”
Benedict Cumberbatch, “Patrick Melrose”
Jeff Daniels, “The Looming Tower”
Michael B. Jordan, “Fahrenheit 451”
Kyle MacLachlan, “Twin Peaks”
Al Pacino, “Paterno”

Lowdown: “Genius’“ Antonio Banderas has an outside chance, but this is a weak, weak category this year. Anyone besides the seven mentioned would be a major surprise.
