The nominations for the 2018 Emmy Awards will be revealed on Thursday, July 12 and the Netflix Original series GLOW should be well represented.

Netflix will once again be one of the leading networks/streamers when Emmy nominations are announced on Thursday morning. Between HBO and Netflix, the two are expected to be the leaders when everything is announced. Helping the cause for Netflix is GLOW, which is the new top comedy on the streamer and sure to represented well at the 2018 Emmy Awards.

I think GLOW has a great chance to get three or four nominations in the major categories. It could stand to receive a few more when factoring in the dozens of other categories that aren’t shown on the televised part of the awards show.

GLOW is one of my favorite shows, on Netflix, or anywhere, but objectively speaking, the show is tremendous in blending comedy, drama and action with all the incredible wrestling sequences and choreography.

The second season just premiered at the end of June, but it’s the first season that is under consideration for Emmy recognition. I thought the second season was even better than the incredible first season, so next year’s Emmys should be an even greater celebration.

But when the Emmy nominations are revealed on Thursday, I think GLOW should be one of the seven nominees for one of the two most prestigious awards, Best Comedy Series.

Always one of the most competitive categories, GLOW should be a lock to be nominated. If they’re not, an investigation needs to be undertaken.

I think GLOW will join, Atlanta, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Silicon Valley, Black-ish, Silicon Valley, Barry and Curb Your Enthusiasm. I don’t know if they’ll win considering Atlanta won last year and Marvelous Mrs. Maisel took home the Golden Globe but being nominated after their first season is most certainly an achievement.

In addition, I think Alison Brie will receive a nomination for Best Comedy Actress for her portrayal of Ruth, the struggling actress-turned-wrestler/director. Fans have seen Brie in Community, Mad Men and her voiceover work in BoJack Horseman, but this was really a breakthrough role for the actress to flex her acting chops and wit.

Rachel Brosnahan (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Tracee Ellis-Ross (Black-ish), Allison Janney (Mom), Kristen Bell (The Good Place), Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie) and Debra Messing (Will and Grace) are who I predict will round out Brie’s competition in the category. She may not win this year, but again, being nominated is an honor.

Lastly, Betty Gilpin better receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series or else I will riot. As great as Brie is in GLOW, I think her rival/frenemy, Debbie/Liberty Belle is the real heart of the series. Fast forward to season 2 and that really rings true, and she better win next year. She’ll face another formidable group with predicted nominees, Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), Megan Mullaly (Will and Grace), Leslie Jones (SNL), Alex Borstein (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Rita Moreno (One Day at a Time) and Jessica Walter (Arrested Development).

I wouldn’t rule out a nomination for Marc Maron in the Supporting Actor category either.

If you’re a fan of GLOW, Thursday should be a great day, and if you haven’t started the series yet, I can’t recommend it enough.

The first two seasons of GLOW are now streaming.
