Emmy Predictions 2026 - Who Will Likely Be Nominated for Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie?

From June 11 to 22, 2026, voting is taking place for The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards. As such, it's fun to look at which actors and shows have the best chances of actually being nominated this year. So, these are my predictions for which performers will be nominated for Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

Performers most likely to be nominated:

1. Cailee Spaeny for Netflix's Beef
2. Youn Yuh-jung for Netflix's Beef
3. Naomi Watts for FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette
4. Dakota Fanning for Peacock's All Her Fault
5. Linda Cardellini for HBO's DTF St. Louis
6. Laurie Metcalf for Netflix's Monster: The Ed Gein Story

Serious threats that could break through:

1. Constance Zimmer, Grace Gummer and Jessica Harper for FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette
