Ozark's Jason Bateman is the only returning nominee from last year, 2018 winner This Is Us' Sterling K. Brown was snubbed, which means the race is wide open. Homecoming's Stephan James is up for the award, as is Bodyguard star Richard Madden, Pose's Billy Porter and The Americans star Matthew Rhys.
Who should win: Billy Porter, Pose
As Pray Tell on the FX series, Porter is doing heartbreaking—and hilarious—work.
Who will win: Matthew Rhys, The Americans
He took home the Emmy for the final season and will likely get another award for the shelf.
