What more does Ford have left to prove before the TV Academy finally calls his name on Emmy night? He is likely to be joined again by his co-star Michael Urie, who was nominated last year and remains a strong contender this cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOne of the biggest questions is whether \u201cThe Bear\u201d will reemerge as a dominant force in the awards conversation, potentially boosting returning contender Ebon Moss-Bachrach, or if the industry has begun to shift its attention elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThere are also notable performances from genre programming worth considering, including Ben Kingsley\u2019s scene-stealing turn in Marvel\u2019s \u201cWonder Man,\u201d alongside Lamorne Morris and Brendan Gleeson, who deliver standout performances in Prime Video\u2019s \u201cSpider-Noir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAmong the most exciting new entries is NBC\u2019s \u201cThe Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,\u201d a razor-sharp comedy with a deep ensemble that could lift performers such as \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d alum Bobby Moynihan and previous Emmy nominee Daniel Radcliffe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOther potentials remain in the mix, including Paul W.
