In 2021, Emmy’s Lead Actress in a Comedy Series contest was largely seen as a two-woman race: Hacks‘ Jean Smart vs. The Flight Attendant‘s Kaley Cuoco (with the former ultimately prevailing).

This year, Smart and Cuoco will be in the hunt again, but the duo faces a much more competitive landscape — and our Dream Emmy short list is proof of that.

Scroll through the list below to review all of our Dream Nominees (remember, these aren’t predictions; they’re wish lists) and then tell us if our picks warrant a “Hell, yes!,” “Um, no” or “How could you leave off so-and-so?!”

For the record, 2022 Emmy nominations will be voted on from June 16-27, and unveiled on July 12. The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled to air on Monday, Sept. 12 on NBC.
