Emmys 2026 Winner Predictions: See Vanity Fair’s Pick for Every Category

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES Colman Domingo, The Four SeasonsPaul W. Downs, HacksHarrison Ford, ShrinkingNick Offerman, Margo’s Got Money TroublesPREDICTED WINNER: Stephen Root, Widow’s BayMichael Urie, ShrinkingTyler James Williams, Abbott Elementary This category is studded with big names like Harrison Ford (for Shrinking) and Colman Domingo (for The Four Seasons), both of whom gave charming comedic turns this season. There is also Paul W. Downs of Hacks, which just ended its perfect run in May; although he’s won Emmys for writing and executive-producing the show, which he cocreated, his stellar performance as a long-suffering talent agent hasn’t been rewarded. But the comedy-supporting-actor Emmy last year went to long shot Jeff Hiller for his breakout role in Somebody Somewhere, and we think this year the Television Academy will again choose a dark horse: Stephen Root. Previously nominated for his supporting role on Barry, Root is a complete scene-stealer as the cranky but wise seaman who steers Widow’s Bay. —J.P.

Paging Dr. Langdon: The Pitt’s Patrick Ball on Shipping, Stardom, and Season 3

Published by Sam Flores

At this point, you’ve been playing Langdon for a relatively long time. Do you feel like you can read a script and say, “Oh, Langdon wouldn’t say that,” or, “I don’t think Langdon would do that”? I mean, not really. Again, coming from the theater, I come from a world where the script is wholly written. Tennessee Williams wrote what he wrote. And it is my job to interpret that. I think Samuel Beckett says every word is an interruption of an otherwise perfect silence, or something like that. [Editor’s note: In a 1969 Vogue interview, Beckett said, “Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.”] Whatever the writers have me saying and doing, I meet them and follow them. And luckily they’re very good at what they do. I’m also wondering what it’s like working with Noah when he wears so many hats on this set. He’s your costar, but he’s also your executive producer, and sometimes your director and sometimes your writer. Is your relationship similar at all to Langdon …

13 Snubs and Surprises From the Emmy Nominations 2026

13 Snubs and Surprises From the Emmy Nominations 2026

Published by Sam Flores

SURPRISE: Widow’s Bay Gets Its Due This show was bound to peak either too late or right on time—and today’s Emmy nominations proved it was right on time. Matthew Rhys is now a double nominee for his work on both The Beast in Me and Widow’s Bay, the latter earning him a nod for lead actor in a comedy series. The horror comedy also received a coveted outstanding-comedy-series nomination, pushing out other hopefuls like HBO’s The Comeback and Rooster. Widow’s Bay earned 19 nominations overall, proving that being a late arrival on the scene with tremendous word of mouth can be key to getting recognition in a crowded field. —J.R. SNUB: Paul Anthony Kelly’s JFK Jr. Doesn’t Land a Nomination in Limited Series This category held a few surprises, actually. Riz Ahmed received a nomination for his work in Amazon’s Bait, a series that was critically lauded but not widely seen. Likewise, Jason Bateman got a nomination for Black Rabbit, which premiered last September. Many people thought Bateman’s work in DTF St. Louis would overshadow …

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES Marisa Abela, IndustryIsa Briones, The PittTaylor Dearden, The PittAllison Janney, The DiplomatKatherine LaNasa, The PittSepideh Moafi, The PittJulianne Nicholson, Paradise Last year, Katherine LaNasa pulled off an upset win in this category over four actresses from The White Lotus for her work as plucky head nurse Dana Evans on The Pitt—the first sign of the Emmy love for HBO Max’s emergency room drama. With no new season of White Lotus this year, expect a few more fan favorites from the reigning champion drama to fill those slots. Though The Pitt has several viable contenders, we think Taylor Dearden’s neurodivergent Dr. Mel King, Sepideh Moafi’s defiant newcomer Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi, and Isa Briones’s cocksure Dr. Trinity Santos are most likely to join LaNasa here as well. Outside of the hospital, Emmy darlings Julianne Nicholson and Allison Janney should score nominations for their work on Paradise and The Diplomat, respectively. That leaves one slot open, which could easily go to another Pitt actress, Pluribus love interest Karolina Wydra, or, gasp, …

Hasan Piker Came to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026 and Says He “Got Frame Mogged by Real Celebrities”

Talk to me about walking the carpet. I didn’t have a stylist, but my outfit wasn’t too bad for something that I pulled together from my closet. I don’t have a lot of red-carpet attire, and you can’t be an outfit repeater. The jacket is a Japanese brand, but I guess it looks like a Chinese collar. I thought about wearing a suit that I got tailor-made in China, but that one’s gray. And I wasn’t sure if you’re allowed to wear gray to a black-tie event. The other thing I did not consider is that I should have gotten my hair and makeup done before the party. They even suggested a last-minute touch-up when I first walked in, but I was like, Nah, I don’t need that. That’s why every single other person on the red carpet looks super cool and super nice, and I look out of place and disheveled. Once you got off the carpet and stepped inside, what did you do? I pretty much first beelined to get a drink, and …

Last Looks at the Beauty From the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Red Carpet

Last Looks at the Beauty From the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Red Carpet

Published by Sam Flores

If awards season is all about endurance, the red carpet at Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party is the perfect moment to finally let loose. After months of waiting, the newly minted Oscar winners are ready to enjoy a round of congratulatory toasts. The beauty looks were surprisingly wearable, the type of makeup that looks more at home as it settles in over a night of partying, and guests stopped by the L’Oréal Paris touch-up station before they walked the carpet. So it’s no surprise that Sunday night’s standout faces emphasized freshness and finding your light. Glowing skin, flushed cheeks, and subtle sculpting were the key trends, like Cara Delevingne’s subtle pigments or Chase Infiniti’s glossy nude lip. A few bold lips spiced up the carpet—see Odessa A’zion and her cherry cola liner or Iris Apatow and Alison Brie’s just-bitten matte pouts. Simone Ashley and Bella Hadid both showed the power of carrying the high-wattage shimmer onto the shoulders, while Heidi Klum and Quinta Brunson proved that a classic smokey eye never goes out of style. Cara …

Selma Blair Wore the Diamond-Studded Watch Found at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party

What happens at the Vanity Fair Oscar party evidently doesn’t always stay there. Following Hollywood’s biggest night and the 31st annual afterparty organized by Vanity Fair, comedian Robby Hoffman discovered an unexpected party favor: “Let it be known that I found a diamond watch on the floor of the Vanity Fair party…” Hoffman took to Instagram Stories with a post showing the Boucheron watch, belonging to the Vendôme Liseré collection, with the strap broken into several pieces. While a price for the item isn’t listed, the brand’s other watches go for up to $36,900. Later, Hoffman posted an important update, tagging fellow Vanity Fair Oscar party attendee Selma Blair, after she was identified as the wearer of the lost accessory. Hoffman, who is married to The Traitors’ Gabby Windey, confirmed that the watch had been handed over to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) security.

Odessa A’zion Explains Why She Styled Herself for the 2026 Oscars and All of Awards Season

“Well, I’m obsessed with embellishments, especially for carpet looks,” A’zion says. “I love a fringe or bead or bedazzled sparkly moment,” she continues. “I wanted it to feel really watery and flowery,” she says of the way in which she put the necklaces together. She wanted to feel like she was dripping in diamonds. “I feel like, with acting, it’s a little confusing because even red carpet looks are not fully you,” she says, “it’s a version of you, but not what you’d wear walking through life every day.” A’zion argues that it’s not always that the Tinseltown glitterati get to show “their taste and who they are and what they’re into.” It’s a fair assessment: with stylists becoming increasingly crucial power brokers between Hollywood and the fashion industry, brokering brand deals and being conduits for relationships between labels and actors, stars are not always coming as they are, but as an idealized, and sometimes branded, idea of their Hollywood personas. If actors are only ever seen in costume for films and television or in …

Sinners’ very own vampire Jack O’Connell went in character with dark sunglasses and prosthetic fangs on the red carpet, perhaps still in character as his role as villainous Remmick.
