Who is Likely to Win Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series?
It is hard to predict who will win the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at this year’s Emmy Awards, as each offered exceptional performances.
Shōgun has earned a total of 25 nominations at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. As voters tend to stick to voting for one or two specific shows, it’s possible the hit FX series could dominate the event, giving the Outstanding Lead Actor award to Hiroyuki Sanada.
However, it wouldn’t be surprising to many TV fans if Gary Oldman’s performance in Slow Horses stood in the way of the Japanese TV show sweeping up.
Deemed by many as one of the finest actors of his generation, Oldman could walk away with the award this year.
It would be rude to rule out other nominees in the category. For instance, Dominic West is no stranger to winning awards, receiving a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series Drama in 2015.
His portrayal as Charles, Prince of Wales, in the final season of The Crown earned the English actor much critical acclaim, putting him in strong contention for the award this September.
Also, lead actors from Apple TV+ most popular shows have earned nominations, meaning Donald Glover, Walton Goggins, or Idris Elba may soon deliver an acceptance speech.
