THR publishes an anonymous Emmy voter’s candor across major categories, naming The Pitt as Best Drama, Widow’s Bay as Best Comedy, The Beast in Me as Best Limited, Remarkably Bright Creatures as Best Movie, and The Daily Show with Colbert, Kimmel, and Last Week Tonight with Oliver for Best Variety, while deriding several nominees and debating category placements ahead of the Sept. 14 ceremony. The piece also explains THR’s tradition of anonymity and provides context on the voter’s blunt, opinionated approach.
