Who are the Nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series?
The following actors haven’t been afraid to deliver unique, funny, and bold performances in the name of comedy, making each one worthy of taking home the Outstanding Supporting Actor award.
The nominees are:
- Bowen Yang – Saturday Night Live (NBC)
- Paul Rudd – Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)
- Tyler James Williams – Abbot Elementary (ABC)
- Ebon Moss-Bachrach – The Bear (FX)
- Lionel Boyce – The Bear (FX)
- Paul W. Downs – Hacks (HBO Max)
Who is Likely to Win?
Abbott Elementary’s Tyler James Williams is the current favorite to win Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series this year. His will-they-wont-they relationship with Janine, played by Quinta Brunson, was a major storyline in season three and allowed Williams to display more of his comedic talents.
For instance, many fans of the show will have laughed aloud when his character, Gregory, ran into Janine at a local bar, loudly embarrassing himself when he thought she was on a date.
Of course, he will need to compete with last year’s winner, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who never fails to deliver comedy amid chaos on The Bear. As he has proven to be a favorite among the TV Academy, it wouldn’t be a shock if he is called onto the stage on September 16.
Lionel Boyce, Ebon’s co-star, is in the running to receive the award, and it is likely thanks to his well-received character spotlight episode during season two. However, he might be no match for Moss-Bachrach’s laugh-out-loud quotes and comedic style.
Three-time Outstanding Supporting Actor winner Bowen Yang could take home the statue for the fourth time in 2024. Yet again, he has proven that he is a star player on Saturday Night Live, making audiences burst with laughter in various sketches, such as “ABBA Christmas” with Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph and “Moulin Rouge” with Ariana Grande.
Paul W. Downs adds a splash of comedic value to Hacks whenever he is on screen, but he might not prove a hit with voters. As he has already won an Emmy for co-writing the pilot with Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky (Hacks co-creators), it could de-incentivize votes for his comedy work.
Paul Rudd is one of the best comedy actors to hit the big and small screen in recent years, and he continued to make audiences laugh during his two-season stint on Only Murders in the Building. However, voters aren’t likely to vote for an actor who may appear to be more of a cameo than a supporting actor.
If you are excited about the upcoming 76th Primetime Emmy Awards and can’t wait to see who wins Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series this year, change your channel to ABC on September 16, 2024, at 8 pm ET.
