State of the species

It seems that an outstanding female lead in a Limited or Anthology series or movie generated much more conversation than their male counterparts. Even a narrower project like “Swarm” had a bigger cultural impact than HBO’s big-budget period piece “White House Plumbers.”

While its ratings weren’t what Showtime was boasting about in press releases, Jessica Chastain campaigned hard to make “George and Tammy” the best in the category, earning a somewhat surprising first win at this year’s SAG Awards. (the show had only been out for a few months and was up against last year’s Emmy winner Amanda Seyfried), and now she’s probably getting her first Emmy nomination. Tony being one of this year’s top contenders for his performance in “A Doll’s House” also helped the awards run, as it puts EGOT on the clock.

As for who Chastain is likely to be cast against, the popular choice would be Ali Wong, who starred in the Netflix hit “Beef.” However, there are still some who either have more names or a deeper history at the TV Academy and could still prove to be more formidable contestants.

For example, “Love and Death” star Elizabeth Olsen was nominated in this category just two years ago for “WandaVision,” where she played a character in the second biggest movie of all time. Emily Blunt is also nominated at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards for her performance in the Prime Video western “The English.”

Speaking of the Amazon-run streaming service, Riley Keough (“Daisy Jones and the Six”), Dominique Fishback (“Swarm”) and Rachel Weisz (“Dead Ringers”) have all made appearances that have landed Prime Video on to map. in this category like never before. It’s likely that at least one of these actresses was nominated. The same goes for Betty Gilpin’s performance in the Peacock series, ‘Mrs. Davis” and Bel Powley’s appearance on NatGeo’s “A Small Light” to a lesser extent.
