Emmys 2025: It’s This Year’s First Emmy Lead Actress Podcast!

This week’s podcast is an Emmy Lead Actress breakdown for contenders across Comedy, Drama, and Limited Series races.

We’re approaching the end of the 2025 Emmy eligibility window. We’ve previously discussed Drama Series, Comedy Series, and Limited Series contenders, so it’s time to focus on performances. This week, we’re looking at the 2025 Emmy Lead Actress contenders in all three major races: Lead Comedy Actress, Lead Drama Actress, and Lead Limited Series Actress. One of these races has a more contenders than the other two. Have a listen and see which one it is!

But first, we review the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ recently announced rule change. Among other smaller updates, the 98th Oscars will require Academy members to prove they’ve watched films for the second / final round of Oscar voting. Will this ultimately impact the winners? Or is this a weak sauce change?

We close our podcast with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

If you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen to our spin-off series, Desperate Housewives Revisited, where Joey and Clarence look back at the first season of Marc Cherry’s 2004 phenomenon.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
