Emmy Tracker: Emmy for Vera or Khaleesi?
Vera Farmiga and Emilia Clarke returned to the spotlight after two game-changing hours of TV. Will Emmy respond to these buzzy performances?
Vera Farmiga or Emilia Clarke
Naturally, all spoiler warnings apply if you haven’t caught up with this week’s Bates Motel or Game of Thrones. If you haven’t, then bookmark this page, watch both right now, and come back for the update. We’ll be waiting… OK, welcome back (or thanks for being patient if you never left). Both hours of television saw some significant character progressions for actresses Vera Farmiga (Norma Bates on Bates Motel) and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys / Khaleesi on Game of Thrones). No matter how deserving they are, both actresses have been somewhat on the periphery of the awards race this year. So, how will these significant developments play for Emmy voters.
In the case of Vera Farmiga, Bates Motel hasn’t been this hot since it first premiered. A series that progressively increases in quality with each passing season, Bates Motel committed to the event that most fans have long anticipated / dreaded: Norman Bates finally killed his mother. Norma’s season four death capped a very, very strong season for Vera Farmiga. Personally, I’m not sure the character topped last season’s “Norma Louise,” but Farmiga’s Norma character arc was more consistently great and varied this season. Norma struggled with committing Norman to a mental hospital, fought with insurance, and made further sacrifices for Norman’s benefit. If there’s a mother in the Television Academy, then it would be impossible for them to ignore Norma’s plight.
Aside from Farmiga’s well-practiced brilliance where Norman is concerned, she was also given a huge gift by the writing team. She was allowed to fall in love and, shock, be happy. She was legitimately happy and hopeful for the first time in several seasons. These episodes, no matter how short lived they were, were not ironic distances for Farmiga. They were moments of genuine bliss. Moments that saw her share her darkest secrets with husband-of-convenience Romera (Nestor Carbonell). And he didn’t run away. He embraced her. And she melted. Farmiga radiated happiness in a way that Bates Motel has seldom allowed her. Vera Farmiga’s season four performance is a far different performance than she’s given in the series to date. Unfortunately, it’s probably her last lead performance for the series. She’ll undoubtedly be back as “Mother” in season five, but this is really Vera Farmiga’s big shot at Emmy glory.
So, who stands in her way?
House of Cards‘ Robin Wright and How To Get Away With Murder‘s Viola Davis are the lockiest of locks if ever there has been a lock. There’s literally no way they’re not getting back into the nominees’ circle this year. Presuming six slots, that leaves us with four openings. Honestly, perennial nominee Claire Danes (Homeland) is the most likely next nominee with Michelle Dockery, Taraji P. Henson, and Julianna Margulies nipping at their heels. Vera Farmiga has the opportunity to knock any one of those actresses out of contention, in my opinion, although buzz for The Good Wife‘s last season will probably carry Margulies forward. The same could be said for Michelle Dockery, although both were omitted from last year’s Drama Actress race in favor of Tatiana Maslany and Elizabeth Moss. Maslany *could* repeat, but I’m not getting a great deal of love for Orphan Black‘s latest season. Moss isn’t eligible this year.
So, Farmiga leaps ahead of Michelle Dockery for the moment on the Emmy Tracker. Recent buzz for the series and a widespread recognition by critics’ and fans for the impeccable quality of the fourth season should push her forward more than recent years. Earlier in the week, I’d have said it wasn’t possible, but with internet and print buzz at a fever pitch and with Farmiga’s starring turn in The Conjuring 2 coming out just before Emmy voting… You never know. She just may pull off the nomination.

About Emilia(sorry long article)
Emilia Clarke has a less complicated path forward. If anything, her recent recent to Daenerys badassery (re: nakedness) has solidified her place among the Drama Supporting Actress six. Downton Abbey‘s Maggie Smith may be knocking at the door, but I suspect Clarke is going to shut the door, nail it, burn down the house, and walk out of the ashes clutching an Emmy in one hand and Smith’s bloodied head in the other. Okay, maybe not the bloodied head piece, but it is Game of Thrones.
Kidding aside, the top six for Drama Supporting Actress feels nearly solidified at this point. Game of Thrones‘ other big badass female Lena Headey has kept her season premiere heat going, and the rest of the season feels promising. You can never bet against Uzo Aduba for Orange is the New Black as she tends to carry the acting love for the entire series. Plus, she’s just great on the show. Joanne Froggatt has been a perennial nominee for Downton Abbey, recently taking Smith’s place in the category where Emmy has before made room for two. The Good Wife‘s final year should see Christine Baranski continue in the category, and it would be foolish to bet against her. She’s never missed out on a nomination for the show. Better Call Saul‘s Rhea Seehorn would be the new nominee in the category, but it just feels so right this year given Kim Wexler’s increased importance in the show and her late season choice between Jimmy and Chuck.
Emilia Clarke is likely to benefit from overall love for the show. I’m convinced to this day that’s why she was nominated last year. There was no other justifiable reason. She simply wasn’t given enough to do other than fawn over Emmy-winner Peter Dinklage. Last season, she was the damsel to be dragon rescued. This season, she’s got the girl power vibe again, standing against the Dothraki herd that kidnapped her and, in the end of episode four, burning down the Dothraki temple of oppression, killing their patriarchal system with one fatal blow. Everyone loves it when Daenerys makes bold moves, particularly Emmy. The scene of her emerging (again) triumphantly from the fires is hard to get out of your head. Plus, she’s naked, so there’s something for the steak eaters in the Television Academy.
Emilia Clarke feels more likely to repeat last year’s nomination in the supporting category than does Vera Farmiga to re-enter an Emmy race she in which she last competed three years ago. Farmiga’s chances feel stronger today than they did earlier in the week, though, so we’re higher on her. She has a tremendous and tremendously loyal fan base that will likely feel energized to keep the drum banging long into the voting window.
It’s likely to change as we’re in a very fluid component of the Emmy nomination cycle without significant milestones / critics’ groups / award precursors to guild us.
But right now, we’re betting on both Vera Farmiga and Emilia Clarke.

I have a feeling Rami won't get a non for Best Actor in a Drama, which is unfortunate.
Who are some shoeins for nominations there? I know Liev will get another nom for Ray Donovan, Kevin Spacey for House of Cards also.

Bob Odenkirk, Damian Lewis, Paul Giamatti, Bobby Cannavale (winning possibly), Kyle Chandler but Rami does have a legit shot, he was nominated for both SAG and GG.

The Americans better get some recognition. I don't get how the best drama gets snubbed every year.

TV has been so so so great the past 2 years.

Yeah Billions was a big disappointment but those two are respected and known names who just got Emmy nominations last year for much smaller projects.
I haven't watched Vinyl yet but from what I've heard he gives a great performance, and they love him too.

I think this will be the year we'll see if Uzo Aduba has any power over the Academy or is it just Crazy Eyes that is popular and wins Emmys. She is eligible in 3 categories as far as I know, Supporting Actress Drama, Lead Actress Limited Series, Supporting Actress Limited Series and considering her popularity (2 Emmys, 2 SAGs, 2 GG noms) she should easily get at least 2 of these nominations.

But All the Way is looking strong. For TV Movie, Actor (Emmy favorite and now Oscar nominee Cranston in his Tony-winning role), S Actress (Oscar and Emmy winner Melissa Leo), S Actor (Anthony Mackie playing MLK in an un-competitive field) at least. The director has Emmys, and the writer has a Pulitzer and a Tony.
For Actress, Kerry is expected to be at least T3, maybe T2. HBO has won 10 of the last 13 races, so I wouldn't be shocked if she pulled through.
Anywho, my wish would be for a Sophie Turner nomination despite the chances being tiny for reasons including perennial name-checking and her youth.

All the Way is indeed really strong to win TV Movie and Actor but other than those two can't see it winning anything else major. Directing, Writing, Limited Series, Actress, Supporting Actress will be between ACS and Fargo. Supporting Actor is a question mark but no way Mackie wins it with that lackluster of a performance and it is a competitive category actually, these are all for that Primetime Emmy discussion thread tho, lemme find that one in a minute. I am way too off topic rn 
_______________
Yeah about this I think the industry is very aware of ACS existence since most of the channels are coming with their versions of ACS. Which makes me believe that it is going to be big, maybe huge at the Emmys.
Limited Series
Fargo vs. ACS
Actress
Paulson vs. Dunst vs. Washington ( I don't want to be so sure about Paulson's victory, I though she'd win for one of Asylum, Coven or Freak Show too )
Actor
Cranston
Supporting Actress
Jean Smart vs. Leo(?) maybe Paulson here too?
Supporting Actor
Sterling K. Brown hopefully but Travolta most probably
Directing
Murphy vs. Hemingway vs. whoever's from Fargo
Writing
Alexander & Karaszewski
I don't really think HBO can factor into these categories with True Detective, Show Me A Hero and Confirmation (literally a waste of many talents whoever's written that screenplay should be punished but they'll probably get a nomination here )

The fact they only nominated her for season 1
but as many people pointed out BM hasn't been as hot as it was this season there was a lot of talk online this season especially after the finale and she has the conjuring shaping up to be a hit so hopefully  . She had the conjuring out the first time she was nominated too.

There is 30 submitions for Lady Gaga's category. She has a pretty decent chance at getting nominated. ATRL relevant.
I can't find any music submissions on that doc.
