Emmy winner The Pitt returned this week in between winning three Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, where the series has two nominations. My wife and I watched the second season premiere last night and were just as impressed with it as we were with the first season. It helps that we are both Noah Wyle fans, but the rest of the cast was just as good as we remember and the writing and direction both maintained their quality. The series' awards chances look promising for the second season as well, but I'm getting ahead of myself. For now, I'm returning to 'Severance,' 'The Diplomat,' and 'The Pitt' tie with four nominations at the Critics Choice Awards to see how the predictions fared as well as looking forward to the Golden Globes. First, the Critics Choice Awards predictions for Drama Series.
Severance, The Diplomat, and The Pitt tie with four nominations. Task has three, followed by Andor, Paradise, and Pluribus with two each, and Alien: Earth with only the program nomination. Based on The Pitt beating Severance for Outstanding Drama Series at the Emmy Awards, The Pitt should be favored, and that's exactly what the Gold Derby odds show. Every editor and expert along with 84.7% of users expect The Pitt to win this category. That's followed by Pluribus with the support of 7.7% of users, Severance with 4.2% of users, Andor with 1.9% of users, and the rest with less than 0.4% support each.This prediction came true. Watch as "The Pitt" WINS Best Drama Series.
Congratulations and good luck, as The Pitt is likely to earn the equivalent award at the Golden Globes, as the prognosticators at Gold Derby have it as their first choice. Every expert, two-thirds of editors, and 87.9% of users have chosen it to win Best Drama Series, followed by the remaining one-third of editors and 7.8% of users picking Pluribus to upset. I think it's more likely to win Best Science Fiction TV Series at the Saturn Awards, should it be nominated. Severance is the selection of 3.7% of users, followed by The White Lotus, The Diplomat, and Slow Horses with less than one percent user support each. This is despite The Pitt and Pluribus earning two nominations each, while The White Lotus has six and Severance four. As I've written before, electorates matter.
Time to examine Gold Derby's predictions for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
Noah Wyle won Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series at the Emmy Awards and Gold Derby thinks he'll repeat here, again with every editor and expert along with 92.4% of users predicting he'll walk off the stage with the trophy. Adam Scott sits in second with the support of 3.7% of users, followed by Diego Luna with 1.8% of users, and the rest of the field with less than one percent each.That also came true. Watch as Noah Wyle WINS for Best Actor in a Drama Series for "The Pitt".
Again, congratulations! Playing educated men of action works for Wyle, who is favored to win Best Actor in a Drama Series at the Golden Globes. Every editor, 87.5% of experts, and 94.0% of users expect he will win. The users and editors split on second, as 3.4% of users anticipate Adam Scott, while the remaining 12.5% of editors along with 1.0% of users designated Diego Luna as the likely winner, behind Mark Ruffalo with 1.2%. Only 0.4% of users are behind Gary Oldman, while no one has selected Sterling K. Brown.
I'm skipping to Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for The Pitt's final Critics Choice Award.
Emmy winner Katherine LaNasa leads this category as the pick of 75.0% of experts, 80.0% of editors, and 91.4% of users. She's followed by Skye P. Marshall with the rest of the editors and 2.1% of users, Nicole Beharie also at 2.1% of users, Allison Janney at 1.8%, Denée Benton with the remaining expert (the same one who currently has Carrie Coon in first — she must be a Gilded Age fan) and 1.4% of users, and Greta Lee at 1.2% of users. LaNasa should enjoy her win here because she's not even nominated at the Golden Globes. Instead, three actresses from The White Lotus made the field, while The White Lotus was shut out here. As I keep writing about awards shows, electorates matter.Watch as Katherine LaNasa WINS Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for "The Pitt".
Congratulations and sorry about the Golden Globes snub because they thought The White Lotus actresses had more star power.
That's it for The Pitt. Follow over the jump for the rest of the drama TV winners at the Critics Choice Awards and drama nominees at the Golden Globes.
While Britt Lower won the Emmy for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series, she's an underdog here, as Rhea Seehorn leads with every editor, 75% of experts, and 74.4% of users picking the lead actress of Pluribus to win. Lower is the choice of 17.4% of users, followed by Kathy Bates with 5.4%, Keri Russell with 1.2%, and Bella Ramsey with 1.0%. None have any professional support. That's reserved for Carrie Coon with 25% of the experts but only only 0.6% of users. I think that percentage will drop once the rest of the experts weigh in. Also, Seehorn is that good in Pluribus. I expect she'll be nominated at the Saturn Awards and I'll vote for her if she is.The percentages did change after the rest of the experts made their choices and the users followed along. By the time of the ceremony, 91.7% of the experts and 86.2% of users had joined all the editors in selecting Seehorn, leaving only that one expert for 8.3% of that group continuing to choose Coon. The voters solidifying around Seehorn turned out to be the correct choice. Watch asRhea Seehorn WINS Best Actress in a Drama Series for "Pluribus".
Congratulations on the win and the speech! May Seehorn use it as practice for her likely Golden Globes time on the podium, as every editor, 87.5% of experts, and 89.2% of users selected her to walk off with the statuette. She leads Lower, who has the remaining 12.5% of experts and 7.0% of users, Bates with 2.2% of users, Russell with 0.8%, Ramsey with 0.6%, and Mirren with 0.3%.
Gold Derby's odds predict that the supporting categories will return to Emmy form with Emmy winner Tramell Tillman leading as the choice of 75.0% of experts, 80.0% of editors, and 90.4% of users. He's followed by Billy Crudup as the pick of the rest of the experts and 3.5% of users, Tom Pelphrey with the rest of the editors and 3.3% of users, Patrick Ball with 2.1% of users, and the rest with less than one percent user support.Watch as Tramell Tillman WINS big for "Severance", completing a sweep for Gold Derby's predictions in drama series. Congratulations to Gold Derby!
Congratulations on winning this category. Unfortunately, Tillman is unlikely to repeat at the Golden Globes because this category combines supporting actors in all four formats, drama, comedy, limited series, and TV movie. Because of that, Gold Derby has him in second behind Owen Cooper, who won the Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television. Every editor and expert plus 91.0% of users have chosen Cooper, while Tillman took the votes of 7.5% of users. The rest of the nominees have less than one percent users support each.
In the absence of LaNasa, this category is open to the winner in limited series, Erin Doherty, who 75.0% of editors, 62.5% of experts, and 50.1% of users expect will win. Gold Derby's losing choice for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the Critics Choice Award, Hannah Einbinder, who lost to Janelle James, like LaNasa also snubbed at the Golden Globes, is the hope of the remaining 25.0% of editors, 37.5% of experts, and 43.0% of users. We have a contest! Carrie Coon trails in third with 3.8% of users, followed by Parker Posey with 1.8%, while Catherine O'Hara and Aimee Lou Wood have less than one percent each.
That's a wrap for today's post. Stay tuned for more awards coverage tomorrow as the second Sunday entertainment feature of 2026.
