Emmys 2022: Supporting Actress In A Limited Series — Our Dream Nominees!

Nothing is certain in life except death, taxes and Jennifer Coolidge snagging an Emmy nomination this year.

The veteran actress earned some of the best reviews of her career (not to mention TVLine's coveted Performer of the Week) for her work in HBO's The White Lotus, and, by our calculations, that makes her a slam dunk for inclusion in Emmy's Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie category.

But from our Dream Emmy vantage point, Coolidge is not the only well-heeled White Lotus guest worthy of some kudos love from the TV Academy.

Scroll through the list below to review 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, 2022 Emmy nominations will be voted on from June 16-27, and unveiled on July 12. The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled to air on Monday, Sept. 12 on NBC.

WHY SHE DESERVES A NOD: As boozy socialite Tanya McQuoid, Coolidge deftly walked a fine line between comedy and drama, often leaving viewers unsure if they should be laughing or crying at the grieving billionaire. But the actress' real triumph was how she was able to turn Tanya — arguably the HBO limited series' most impenetrable character — into its most relatable. We can't wait to see what Coolidge has in store for us in Season 2.

WHY SHE DESERVES A NOD: Proving there was much more to newlywed Rachel than just a trophy wife on HBO's savagely funny dramedy, Daddario brought a heartbreaking angst to Rachel as she struggled with the outdated expectations of her new husband and yearned for something more. As Rachel's dream honeymoon turned into a nightmare, Daddario's work only got better, and we couldn't help but root for her to break free once and for all.

WHY SHE DESERVES A NOD: When Dever took on the role of Betsy, a sexually closeted OxyContin addict, the former Unbelievable star did so with a sense of responsibility, she told TVLine back in November. "Betsy's story and the story of Dopesick is so much bigger than me," the actress explained. "I had to pull everything that I possibly could into this role because the people behind the show put their trust in me." As a result, Dever not only skillfully humanized drug addiction through Betsy, but her sympathetic turn made viewers champion her right up until they couldn't.

WHY SHE DESERVES A NOD: After playing an adult activist in the Oscar-nominated film Judas and the Black Messiah, Fishback wondered if she should portray a moody adolescent again, having done it so much in the past. Thankfully, the Deuce alum made an exception when taking on Robyn, the title character's warm and loving teenage caregiver in Apple TV+'s limited series. It's a choice that allowed the space for Fishback's riveting performance, which contained equal parts toughness and tenderness, and enough chutzpah to stand toe-to-toe with star and executive producer Samuel L. Jackson — and shine just as brightly.

WHY SHE DESERVES A NOD: Hahn was the heart and soul of Apple TV+'s miniseries, expertly balancing the story's tender moments with the hostile aftermath that followed her character's decades-long estrangement from her brother. The actress nailed diatribes that were gut-wrenching and fiery ("I never want to hear from you again!"), but also delivered pity and empathy after Phyllis saw the toll that years of unethical treatment took on Marty. With plenty of space to flex both her comedic and dramatic muscles, Hahn proved to be a scene stealer through and through.

WHY SHE DESERVES A NOD: There had been rumblings that Pugh would reprise her Black Widow role in Disney+'s fourth live-action MCU series, but we were not quite prepared for what a crowd-pleasing one-two punch she'd deliver. When the assassin surprised Kate Bishop with a "Girls Night In" of boxed mac and cheese, Pugh was no less than scene-stealing hilarious, using her Russian-by-way-of-House of Gucci accent to deliver well-aimed sass — when, that is, she wasn't being stone-cold threatening. Subsequently, in the finale, Pugh had all kinds of fun as Yelena swung into action, further teasing Kate along the way. Simply said, this assassin slayed us.

UPDATE: Disney+ ultimately submitted Hawkeye in the comedy categories; see our list of Dream Emmy Nominees for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

WHY SHE DESERVES A NOD: Though Hulu's tragic miniseries focused largely on Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy's relationship, Sevigny's turn as Lynn Roy perhaps left the most indelible impression. As Lynn worked through both her grief over Conrad's suicide and her own regret over not seeing his death coming, Sevigny also brought a dry humor and remarkable patience to the woman, tasked as she was with picking up the pieces for her family. At every turn — whether Lynn was breaking down over the lack of a suicide note addressed to her, or calmly testifying at Michelle's trial — the actress captured a weariness that felt achingly real.
