2023 Emmy Predictions:
Outstanding Television Movie

Weekly Commentary: “Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers” won the Emmy for outstanding television movie last year, marking the first time an animated film won the category. Could Mike Judge’s classic problematic high-schoolers join the list of exceptional duos with “Beavis and Butt-head Do America?” We could be so lucky.

Many genre movies are in the conversation, including the sci-fi-horror film “Prey” and the comedy “Fire Island,” both from Hulu.

Don’t ever count out Netflix in this category with four films in the running, notably “Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die.”

After more holiday movies on TV than ever before, five have been submitted to the Emmys race. In addition, “Teen Wolf: The Movie,” Paramount+’s adaptation of the MTV supernatural-thriller series, has also thrown its hat into the ring.
