Fans are invested in those shows and characters, but you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.televisionacademy.com\/awards\/nominees-winners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.televisionacademy.com\/awards\/nominees-winners\/\" aria-label=\"go searching after the fact\">go searching after the fact<\/a> for them. So, here they are:<\/p>\n<p>Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e5a3fb0a23ab30d24fe6076719b6500a1\">Patrick Ball \u2013 The Pitt<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"eadb6013483472c6410aaa5406c7c3f7a\">Billy Crudup \u2013 The Morning Show<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e9533da02ec250ab8864f2d3ae7f3ee53\">Shawn Hatosy \u2013 The Pitt<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e5dd864f30ebc8d168797ff047f0b73e4\">Gerran Howell \u2013 The Pitt<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e608998859e408111b64981f1b2a251c8\">Jack Lowden \u2013 Slow Horses<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e7911d1ab54d17ad0c479f9a34040f4b3\">Tom Pelphrey \u2013 Task<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e7599d4d63ddd29651fc6ccf189fb8428\">Carlos-Manuel Vesga \u2013 Pluribus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No big surprise here that this is stacked with half Pitt cast members. My pick would actually be Tom Pelphrey from Task, who has been an extremely underrated actor for some time, and this is one of his best performances.<\/p>\n<p>Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"eab8f1387be856c05b05c2c3098df8d7e\">Taylor Dearden \u2013 The Pitt<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e01fbac6637d29c9fc2abefc0121f1772\">Fiona Dourif \u2013 The Pitt<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"eaec3c2dd352a564e4b10d88be7d2afca\">Allison Janney \u2013 The Diplomat<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e2cd7c0f70fc8e2360ebe7656d8b83282\">Katherine LaNasa \u2013 The Pitt<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e27cd5dd91b15e3252f32cbd1aca02a2d\">Sepideh Moafi \u2013 The Pitt<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ecd5db26694584f04972e2337bb3a0274\">Julianne Nicholson \u2013 Paradise<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e647d8e06a00a80c17dcaf878c2a924e5\">Karolina Wydra \u2013 Pluribus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Katherine LaNasa took it last year, and again, we have 4\/6 Pitt nominees here. I could see LaNasa taking it again, and either way, I doubt it goes outside the Pitt circle.<\/p>\n<p>Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e697948636ed6e1279df375054771ac06\">Colman Domingo \u2013 The Four Seasons<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e773690bb12d675234b952f637739e3be\">Paul W. Downs \u2013 Hacks<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e4c9cd0f7859a87c424dd423137c4eb9b\">Harrison Ford \u2013 Shrinking<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ea1b86193217e4f1015a68ff848eb675b\">Nick Offerman \u2013 Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ea9c8a6c0755039a214e24bd397b00047\">Stephen Root \u2013 Widow\u2019s Bay<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e8b5f88007103fb5878c72f8085a8cb2d\">Michael Urie \u2013 Shrinking<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e8ff48b18523720064bee7044fd9a4ee9\">Tyler James Williams \u2013 Abbott Elementary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Without question, I vote for Harrison Ford in this category, whose performance in Shrinking has been one of the best I\u2019ve seen in years. That\u2019s especially true this season as he maintains his sense of humor after suffering from the effects of Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p>Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e58060805fc44a1bbaf37fffe96119fef\">Dale Dickey \u2013 Widow\u2019s Bay<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e80b4c6cae5e9784ca786d29d34707c84\">Hannah Einbinder \u2013 Hacks<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ea1a514f519ad8485c3b644193b2c3958\">Janelle James \u2013 Abbott Elementary<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ee2875e5cf93ae28cb0acdbcd5a9005fb\">Kate O\u2019Flynn \u2013 Widow\u2019s Bay<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e4801aa8b76f629170f59fd259ece4465\">Michelle Pfeiffer \u2013 Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e74647fddb5fbd7cb9c90e6e0dd7de959\">Megan Stalter \u2013 Hacks<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e24b904af333d4355611bb1f3cecb7446\">Jessica Williams \u2013 Shrinking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The absolute fan-favorite pick here is going to be the breakout, hilarious, amazing performance from Kate O\u2019Flynn in Widow\u2019s Bay, who led at least two episodes herself, and they were two of the best in the series. Of course, this being Hacks\u2019 final season and Jean Smart inevitably winning Best Actress, it will be Hannah Einbinder. But Widow\u2019s Bay is back for season 2, so maybe next year for Patricia.<\/p>\n<p>The full list of nominees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.televisionacademy.com\/awards\/nominees-winners\/\"
