Emmy Nominees 2024
Graphic by Nina Boesch for TVLine

Here’s a fact: All of last year’s Emmy nominees for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series — Bad Sisters‘ Sharon Horgan, Yellowjackets‘ Melanie Lynskey, The Handmaid’s Tale‘s Elisabeth Moss, The Last of Us‘ Bella Ramsey, The Diplomat‘s Keri Russell and Succession‘s Sarah Snook — will be missing from the ballot in 2024 on account of their respective shows either ending or being between seasons.

In other words, this category is primed for a complete overhaul — making our Lead Actress short list a vital resource for voters.

Scroll down to check out all of our Dream Nominees (remember, these aren’t predictions; they’re wish lists) and then tell us if our picks warrant a “Hell, yes!,” “Um, no” or “How could you leave off so-and-so?!”

For the record, 2024 Emmy nominations will be voted on from June 13-24, and unveiled on July 17. The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled to air on Sunday, Sept. 15, on ABC.
