Awardist host Gerrad Hall and EW Sr. Editor Joyce Eng reveal their final picks for this year's nominations in the Drama, Comedy, Limited Series, and Reality Competition categories, including how late entry 'Widow's Bay' will impact the race, whether 'The Bear' still has any bite, and if 'Pluribus' can create some drama in that category.
