Emmy Episode Analysis: What Writing Shockers Can We Expect This Year? • AwardsCircuit

“Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” – “House by the Lake” – Written by Tom Rob Smith

Plot: Minneapolis architect David Madson is forced to go on the run with Andrew Cunanan.

Ryan Murphy’s  “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” is a misnomer. The show was more about assassin Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss). It starts with the titular murder and works backwards to the impetus of Cunanan’s disturbances. The submitted episode works best as an engrossing two hander. David Madson (Cody Fern) conveys fear as his kindness places him in the hands of a murderer. It’s harrowing and engrossing. It walks into this category as the frontrunner. The first “American Crime Story” won this award two years ago. However, no other Ryan Murphy miniseries has won the category. Even “American Horror Story” wasn’t nominated until season three. Even if “Gianni Versace” runs away with the Emmys, it could stumble here, as frontrunners often do. If so, what is the buzzy crowd-pleaser that will take its place?

Predicted Ranking

  1. “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” – “House by the Lake”
  2. “USS Callister (Black Mirror)”
  3. “American Vandal” – “Clean Up”
  4. “Godless”
  5. “Patrick Melrose”
  6. “Twin Peaks”

All 7 Emmy episodes revealed for Best Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor (Exclusive)

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal all of the Emmy episode submissions for the 2018 contenders as Best Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor. While lead actors and actresses must enter their entire projects, supporting players are allowed to submit just one installment of their limited series. Let’s take a look at the choices made by these seven men: Jeff Daniels (“Godless”), Brandon Victor Dixon (“Jesus Christ Superstar”), John Leguizamo (“Waco”), Michael Stuhlbarg (“The Looming Tower”) and Ricky Martin, Edgar Ramirez and Finn Wittrock (all of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace”).

Martin is submitting the debut episode, “The Man Who Would Be Vogue,” which aired January 17 on FX. Official description: “The murder of Gianni Versace turns the eyes of the world onto Miami Beach.” Among those mourning is Antonio D’Amico (Martin). This is his first career nomination. Watch our recent video chat with Martin.

Ramirez is submitting the seventh episode, “Ascent,” which aired March 7 on FX. Official description: “Andrew Cunanan leaves behind a troubled family life, while Donatella struggles to find her role within the Gianni Versace (Ramirez) empire.” This is his second career nomination following one for “Carlos” (2011).

Wittrock is submitting the fifth episode, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” which aired February 14 on FX. Official description: “Naval officer Jeffrey Trail (Wittrock) meets Andrew Cunanan for the first time, while Gianni reveals his sexuality to the world.” This is his second career nomination following one for “American Horror Story” (2015).

2018 Emmy Winner Predictions: Drama, Comedy, Limited Series and TV Movie

With a field-best 18 nominations in its section, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story is the clear frontrunner. It has directing and writing noms and six acting nods. Godless is its closest competitor but it doesn’t really feel like a competition at all.

LIMITED SERIES
1. The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story (FX)
2. Godless (Netflix)
3. Patrick Melrose (Showtime)
4. Genius: Picasso (National Geographic)
5. The Alienist (TNT)

2018 Emmy Winner Predictions: Drama, Comedy, Limited Series/TV Movie Acting Categories

Lead Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie should be a race between Laura Dern (The Tale), who finally won here in supporting last year for Big Little Lies (which will compete in the Drama categories next year), and two-time winner Regina King in Seven Seconds. Many people didn’t even have her getting a nomination but the voters love her now and she is definitely competing for the win. Jessica Biel is also a contender for The Sinner, having finally earned the actress credit she had been looking for in her career. Multi-nominee Michelle Dockery moved out of Downton Abbey and into the wild west for Godless and could be a spoiler here. Lead Actor is tough because Darren Criss should be the frontrunner here for The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story but will voters think he’s too young? He’s going up against some tough competition in previous winners Jeff Daniels (The Looming Tower) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Patrick Melrose) that voters may simply name-check but Criss has the stronger project and that should tip him over.

LEAD ACTOR IN A LIMITED SERIES OR A MOVIE

1. Darren Criss, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”
2. Benedict Cumberbatch, “Patrick Melrose”
3. John Legend, “Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert”
4. Jeff Daniels, “The Looming Tower”
5. Jesse Plemons, “USS Callister: Black Mirror”
6. Antonio Banderas, “Genius: Picasso”

A weird category if there ever was one. Largely Emmy newcomers up against two previous winners: Jeff Daniels and John Leguizamo. I’m predicting a bit of a surprise win for Brandon Victor Dixon who was the critical standout of Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert. While I don’t think the three men from The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story will “cancel each other out,” I’m not sure if any are strong enough to win in their own right.

On the other side, Judith Light (The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story) should be able to win over her co-star Penélope Cruz. While the leads for Limited Series aren’t required to submit an episode, the supporting nominees are and Light has the gold to win. I think she might face some competition from previous Emmy winner Merritt Wever (Godless) and first-time Letitia Wright (Black Mirror) but I feel very good about Light winning.
