How long was this Emmy season? So long that when the online entry process began on Feb. 13, it was still a month before the COVID-19 pandemic started to shut things down. The biggest change to the Emmy race was going to be the lack of DVD screeners. Network and studio awards executives had already been allotted their dates in the Emmy For Your Consideration lottery, and plans were well underway for this year’s bigger-than-ever events and pop-up installations.

The “Succession” trend should extend to the drama actor field, where star Jeremy Strong might have an edge over colleague Brian Cox . But Strong and Cox could also cancel each other out, opening the door for Jason Bateman of “Ozark,” or a repeat win for “Pose” star Billy Porter. “Ozark” at least is likely to get the drama actress win, for Laura Linney, even though “The Crown” star Olivia Colman could still be, well, crowned.

That “Schitt’s Creek” sheen feels likely to extend to lead actress Catherine O’Hara and lead actor Eugene Levy, with co-creator Dan Levy landing supporting actor. That would upset Rachel Brosnahan in the actress race and Tony Shalhoub for supporting actor — both previous winners — but “Maisel” will at least be repped on the virtual podium by Alex Borstein, who figures to run her streak to three as supporting comedy actress.

In the other main categories, old habits die hard: “RuPaul’s Drag Race” , “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” and “Saturday Night Live” will probably continue their streaks. It’s not exciting, but as I’ve mentioned many times, some of these categories have wound up in a bit of a rut because voters have their favorites — and those tastes don’t change overnight.
