'The Pitt' holds three of the seven nominations for supporting actor in a drama. Will one of them win on Sept 14?
93% of users predicted YES — the community missed this one. 15 predictions cast.
The Pitt entered the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards (Sept. 14, 2026) with three of the seven nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series: Patrick Ball, Shawn Hatosy and Gerran Howell. None of them won. The award went instead to Tom Pelphrey, who took the trophy for his role as Robbie Prendergrast in HBO's "Task," beating The Pitt's trio along with Billy Crudup (The Morning Show), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) and Carlos-Manuel Vesga (Pluribus).
Having three nominees in one category split The Pitt's support, a familiar Emmy-voting dynamic in which a numbers advantage in nominations does not translate into a lock on the win. The Pitt still had a strong night elsewhere, winning Outstanding Drama Series and lead actor for Noah Wyle, but this specific category went to a smaller-profile series.
The Predict Six community had priced this at 93% yes, given The Pitt made up nearly half the nominee field. The result was a clear community miss: Task's Pelphrey took the award, illustrating how vote-splitting among co-stars from the same show can offset even a dominant nomination count.
