A strong night for Widow\u2019s Bay does not bode well for Hacks. Its one solid bet left in the running \u2013 and maybe its only statuette, Rosen said, was a best actress prize for Jean Smart.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a great way to honour the final season. She\u2019s never lost from playing this part. I don\u2019t see why she would lose for the final season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smart, 75, has won four Emmys for the show so far.<\/p>\n

A win today would give her eight acting Emmys, tying her with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cloris Leachman for the most ever by a performer. Allison Janney is also vying for her eighth Emmy, for The Diplomat.<\/p>\n

The Pitt, last year\u2019s winner for best drama, follows the stressed-out workers in a Pittsburgh emergency room.<\/p>\n

\"NoahNoah Wyle is expected to win another Emmy for his role in gritty drama The Pitt<\/p>\n

Tackling everything from abortion rights to immigration crackdowns to mass shootings, the show is the odds-on favourite to sweep several drama prizes including best series.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf The Pitt doesn\u2019t win, it would be a tremendous shock,\u201d Rosen said.<\/p>\n

It led all shows with 25 nominations, and already won four awards in the early ceremonies, including best casting for a drama series.<\/p>\n

Star Noah Wyle, who has racked up awards over the past year including an Emmy, is expected to triumph again. Seven of his co-stars are hopefuls in the supporting acting categories.<\/p>\n

For best drama actress, Rosen said it would be a race between Pluribus star Rhea Seehorn and Keri Russell for The Diplomat.<\/p>\n

The 78th Emmy Awards gala will be hosted by Law And Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

It will feature a tribute to late country music icon Dolly Parton, who was also an Emmy winner. Country singer Reba McEntire is expected to sing one of Parton\u2019s songs, industry media reported.<\/p>\n
