David Tennant, Best Supporting Actor, Drama for Jessica Jones (cut Jon Voight for Ray Donovan)

Alison Wright, Best Supporting Actress, Drama for The Americans (cut Emilia Clarke, who plays a great character, but who is not a great actress)

Rhea Seehorn, Best Supporting Actress, Drama for Better Call Saul (cut Dame Maggie Smith, who phones it in on Downton Abbey)

Oscar Isaac, Best Actor for Limited Series, Show Me a Hero. (Cut Cuba Gooding, Jr., who was actually terrible in The People vs. OJ Simpson)
