![]() There had been speculation that Coolidge would choose to go Lead but the ensemble nature of the show really argues against that. Last season Coolidge won Supporting Actress Limited Series for her first go round with Lotus, but because hers was the only character brought back for Season 2 the Academy rejected producer appeals and jettisoned Lotus into Drama Series. Both had been subject to speculation about their respective final seasons (presumably for Coolidge, unless she comes back in a rumored prequel) of The White Lotusand Better Call Saul. ![]() That leaves a less-imposing field to run against presumed front-runners Jennifer Coolidge and Rhea Seehorn in Supporting Actress Drama Series.

It is no longer open season, no more voting for as many as you like. At the top of the ballot Television Academy members are warned that the game has changed this year and there are limits on the number of slots you can check off. I checked out my ballot just before writing this column and dutifully spent about a half hour voting on the 21 categories in which I qualify (six for writing, which is my branch, and another 15 for programs which everyone gets to vote on). Right now Emmy voters are focused on the nuts and bolts of choosing the nominees. There has been reporting this week about how the TV Academy will deal with the WGA strike and potential SAG strike in terms of the Emmy calendar, and the early fall dates of the three ceremonies, particularly the Primetime Emmys on Fox on September 18 as it now stands (and it is the all-important 75th Emmys!), but all of that is clearly a wait and see. The sheer volume of content out there is staggering so you want to be as responsible as you can and see as much as you can before putting those check marks down. Judging from casual conversations, I would make an educated guess that a good number of the 20,000+ eligible voters have yet to make their choices, and no wonder.
