Emmy Awards: Squid Game or Succession? who will win tonight

Almost nothing is missing before the 74th edition of the Emmy, which rewards the best of American television and streaming. The ceremony is visible from 9:00 pm, Argentine time, on TNT, with Spanish translation, and on TNT Series, directly in English. The guest will be actor and comedian Kenan Thompson, from Live Saturday night.

But who will be the big winners of the evening?

The most important prize tonight will be, as always, the one corresponding to the best drama series. And in this category there is not one, not two, not even three: there are four productions that aspire to leave the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with the award and their producers the widest smile.

Best Drama Series

Netflix wants to make a point, and with the game of squidr, get what no series has achieved so far: that being spoken in a language other than English, it wins the Emmy. More? Don’t be surprised that Hwang Dong-hyuk wins the Best Director statuette, which would be another historic milestone, since no Asian got it at the American Television Academy Awards.

When the nominations were announced Succession (who already won it in 2020) seemed to be the big contender, with his overall 25 nominations. And she still is. A deal could be Succession best series and leading actor for the Korean Lee Jung-jae. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Hard to go wrong for Lee Jung-jae. Yes the game of squid does not win in the category of the best series the award to those who have been the protagonist – and those who already have a foot in Hollywood, with a proposal of protagonists of good series, like the new one of Star Wars– it would be more than a pat on the back to Korean production.

Thus, Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong, father and son Succession– would not have taken the stage to thank anyone, not even Bob Odenkirk, the Saul of Better to call Saulwhich in betting is third, behind the Korean and Cox.

We were talking about Zendaya. But Tom Holland’s girlfriend has already won the Emmy for playing Rue, the young drug addict – she in 2020 she became the youngest to win it, at 24 -, and in one of these she would succumb to the rise of Melanie. Lynskey (yellow jackets). Laura Linny (Ozark) is the third, but distant, in discord.
