Who are the Nominees for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series?

Six talented actors have each earned a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

The nominees are:

  • Matt Berry – What We Do in the Shadows
  • Larry David – Curb Your Enthusiasm
  • Steve Martin – Only Murders in the Building
  • Martin Short – Only Murders in the Building
  • Jeremy Allen White – The Bear
  • D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Thai – Reservation Dogs

Who is Likely to Win the Award?

The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White might prove hard to beat. The talented newcomer won the award last year, and he and the show have earned accolades at almost every award show.

Of course, Steve Martin and Martin Short are strong contenders to win, as it was a banner season for Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.

The comedic pair are no strangers to the ceremony, as Steven Martin has received an impressive 13 Primetime Emmy Award nominations throughout his career while Martin Short has earned 19.

However, Steve Martin’s performance of the tricky song “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?” could give him an edge over his co-star.

Larry David continues to delight audiences in Curb Your Enthusiasm, so much so that he has earned a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

Despite multiple nominations over the years, the seasoned actor has yet to earn an Emmy Award for the hit HBO show. So, is this the year he finally wins the award, or will he be snubbed by the TV academy again?

If past ceremonies are anything to go by, a newcomer is more likely to steal the award from favorite Jeremy Allen White than a seasoned actor. If so, Matt Berry or D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Thai could walk away with the award this year, but their shows have yet to generate the same hype as The Bear.
