Three NPR television critics published their preferred Emmy winners days before Monday's ceremony, and their picks lean heavily toward Apple TV and away from the shows that actually dominated this year's nominations.

Three NPR television critics published their preferred Emmy winners days before Monday's ceremony, and their picks lean heavily toward Apple TV and away from the shows that actually dominated this year's nominations. The 2026 Emmy race has been defined by a handful of heavyweights. The Pitt, Hacks, Widow's Bay, and Pluribus lead the nominations pack.

With one week left before final Primetime Emmy voting begins, a handful of races look all but decided, while a surprising number of marquee categories remain genuinely unpredictable. Awards forecaster Scott Feinberg laid out his category-by-category projections in The Hollywood Reporter , and the picture that emerges is an Emmy season dominated by three shows: HBO's hospital drama *The Pitt*, Apple TV+'s dark comedy *Widow's Bay*, and HBO's returning favorite *Hacks*. Between them, those three series account for front-runner or top-contender positions in more than a dozen categories, a concentration of strength that leaves much of the rest of the field fighting for scraps. Feinberg draws a clear line between prediction and advocacy. His…Open
