Emmys 2018: Who Should Win Every Award (And Who Actually Will)

4. Comedy Series

Atlanta Donald Glover
FX

Nominees: Atlanta,; Barry; Black-ish; Curb Your Enthusiasm; Glow; The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; Silicon Valley; Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Should Win: Atlanta

Although it's not an outright comedy, Atlanta can be both utterly hilarious and deliver cutting satire, but it's also a transcendental piece of television, especially in its second season. It defies conventions and expectations, and whether it's comedy, horror, thriller, rom-com, or any other hat it wants to wear, it does it ridiculously well.

Will Win: Atlanta

It really feels like a coin-flip between Atlanta and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, but since Atlanta narrowly missed out last year and having a bigger star in Glover, it's more likely to scrape the win.
