Emmys 2017: Who Should Win Every Major Award (And Who Actually Will)
8. Supporting Actress In A Drama Series
Nominees
Ann Dowd - The Handmaid’s Tale
Samira Wiley - The Handmaid’s Tale
Uzo Aduba - Orange Is the New Black
Millie Bobby Brown - Stranger Things
Chrissy Metz - This Is Us
Thandie Newton - Westworld
Who Should Win
Millie Bobby Brown
Brown earned a lot of acclaim for her breakout performance, and justifiably so. Eleven was a total badass thanks to Brown, but so much more besides, as she in equal turns imbued her performance with childlike wonder and glee, but also a real sense of vulnerability and pain. Put all those alongside how powerful you believed she was, and her sheer presence, and it's a great performance for any age, let alone an adolescent.
Who Will Win
Thandie Newton (Or Chrissy Metz)
Westworld performed well in the technical categories at the Creative Arts Emmys, which indicates some love among voters, and Newton's performance was an extremely popular one. Standing an equally strong chance, though, is Chrissy Metz. This Is Us is the biggest network drama contender in years, and it's likely to get a lot of love.
