Who Will Win the Outstanding Comedy Series Award – Emmy Awards 2024

The Outstanding Comedy race at this year’s Emmys is shaping up to be an exciting one. With several past winners and critically acclaimed shows in contention, it’s difficult to predict who will take home the coveted prize. Let’s explore the top contenders.

Is ‘The Bear’ Still the Frontrunner?

Despite airing its nominated second season over a year ago, The Bear remains the frontrunner to win another Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy in 2024. Releasing during last year’s voting period likely helped secure its 2022 victory. Standout Season 2 episodes like “Forks” and Ebon Moss-Bacharach’s performance justify The Bear’s previous win. With continued critical acclaim and cultural buzz, The Bear enters with an advantage as voters tend to reward shows at their peak. However, some voter fatigue over a year-old season could potentially open the door for an upset.

Can ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Win for its Farewell Season?

In its 24^th and final season, Curb Your Enthusiasm seems poised to finally win Outstanding Comedy Series. As an iconic HBO comedy, Curb has a devoted base of voters ready to reward Larry David’s swan song. With the most nominations ever in the category but only two total wins, Curb is long overdue for the top prize. The timing of its last season airing during Emmy voting only strengthens its case. After over two decades, Curb could make history by finally winning for Outstanding Comedy in its farewell lap.

Is This ‘Reservation Dogs’ Year?

After slowly inching towards a win over three acclaimed seasons, Reservation Dogs scoring a nomination last minute for its final season could be what persuades voters to finally give it the prize. As FX’s most critically praised comedy, Reservation Dogs has a chance to stand out with its distinctive storytelling and perspectives. Voters may feel the time has come to reward the underdog, after its fight just to get nominated each season. With glowing reviews for its closing season, Reservation Dogs could ride that goodwill to an upset victory.

Do ‘Abbott Elementary’ or ‘Only Murders’ Have a Shot?

Perennial nominee Abbott Elementary always seems to make a strong case thanks to its feel-good, broadcast network charm. However, network shows rarely win in the current era. Scoring a fourth season renewal likely means voters will wait to reward Abbott later. Similarly, Only Murders in the Building’s status as an ongoing hit with growing nominations could prevent a win this year, as voters may opt to honor it down the line. Still, as consistent nominees, neither can be fully counted out.

What Other Factors Are in Play?

Voters often look to spread the wealth, so rewarding a past winner like The Bear again is no guarantee. But in some years, unstoppable buzz carries the same show to consecutive wins. Ultimately, the key factor could be which nominee aired more recently. With TV Academy members facing a packed slate of viewing, shows from the past eligibility year tend to be fresher in their minds.

Who Will Make Emmy History with a Win?

In this highly competitive race, The Bear still enters as the favorite based on goodwill from its 2022 victory. But veteran series like Curb and Reservation Dogs have compelling narratives around overdue wins that could persuade voters. We may see history made if Curb wins on its final try after 24 seasons. But voters may also feel The Bear still deserves back-to-back recognition.
