Emmy Prediction Spotlight: Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Bernthal in “The Bear”
The competition for the Emmy Awards, specifically in the categories of Best Comedy Guest Actress and Best Comedy Guest Actor, often yields unexpected outcomes that keep awards enthusiasts on their toes. Recent surprises, such as last year’s wins by Judith Light for “Poker Face” and Sam Richardson for “Ted Lasso,” highlight the thrilling unpredictability that can characterize these categories. However, this year, projections from Gold Derby’s Creative Arts predictions suggest that the anticipated results may align more closely with public sentiment.
Featuring prominently in these predictions are Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Bernthal, who are both in strong positions to secure victories for their portrayals in “The Bear.” Curtis, recognized for her role as Donna Berzatto, and Bernthal, who plays Michael Berzatto, are contenders for these prestigious awards, backed by impressive odds of 82/25 and 37/10, respectively. Notably, both actors have submitted the same episode—“Fishes”—from Season 2, a compelling holiday flashback that is loaded with emotional intensity and dramatic confrontations.

This marks Curtis’ second nomination, following her 1998 recognition for the telefilm “Nicholas’ Gift.” In addition to her Emmy bid, Curtis boasts an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (2022). Bernthal is aiming for a consecutive nomination after contending in the same category last year, where he fell short against Richardson.
In the race for Best Comedy Guest Actress, Curtis will face tough competition from Kaitlin Olson (“Hacks”), Olivia Colman (“The Bear”), Maya Rudolph (“Saturday Night Live”), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“Only Murders in the Building”), and Kristen Wiig (“Saturday Night Live”).

Bernthal’s competition in the Best Comedy Guest Actor category includes notable performers like Ryan Gosling (“Saturday Night Live”), Christopher Lloyd (“Hacks”), Bob Odenkirk (“The Bear”), Will Poulter (“The Bear”), and Matthew Broderick (“Only Murders in the Building”).
Historically, the last instance of two guest stars from the same comedy series winning in the same year occurred in 2021, when Maya Rudolph and Dave Chappelle took home the honors for their work on “Saturday Night Live.” Prior to that, victorious pairs included Rudolph and Eddie Murphy in 2020, Jane Lynch and Luke Kirby in 2019, and others stretching back over the last two decades. This year, many are eager to see if Curtis and Bernthal will join this distinguished group of winners from “The Bear.”
